We now have two additional e-mail notification options for shipments. These are per-shipment options that result in an e-mail being sent to the shipper and/or consignee at the time the shipment is submitted to the carrier.

There are two types of notification covered here: Shipper and Consignee. Both messages are templates can be customised at the associate level.

The Shipper notification is intended to provide instructions for the shipping and will include all documents that need to be included with the shipment.

the Consignee notification is intended to provide the receiver of the shipment a link so they can track the shipment progress. The consignee will also be shown their address so it can be verified.

It is now possible to use a Reference field in Address Books. Any text can be placed into this field but ideally it should be a short unique code.

This field serves a special purpose in that if you search using text that matches the reference field of a contact then only that contact will be shown.
