In today’s fast-paced digital environment, businesses rely on smooth workflows to keep their operations efficient. One of Hike Branding’s client faced a recurring challenge: keeping order statuses updated across Pack & Send, Jumptech, and Webflow without relying on manual effort.
They needed a reliable automation solution that could capture status updates in real-time and sync them instantly with their CRMs. This is where Zapier came in—but with a twist.
The Challenge
Zapier is a powerful tool, but it didn’t provide a direct trigger for Pack & Send status updates. That meant there was no straightforward way to detect when an order was Dispatched or Completed.
The client wanted:
- Real-time order status synchronization.
- Seamless updates across Jumptech and Webflow.
- Zero manual intervention and fewer data entry errors.
The Solution – Custom Zapier Workflow
To overcome Zapier’s limitations, Hike Branding built a custom webhook integration. Here’s how the solution works step by step:
- Webhook Setup in Pack & Send
- Instead of relying on Zapier’s native triggers, we configured Pack & Send to send order status updates to a Zapier Webhook.
- CRM Identification via Reference Field
- Each order contains a reference field.
- Based on its length, the automation decides if the order belongs to Jumptech or Webflow.
- Custom Code Step for Jumptech
- Pack & Send sends statuses as strings (e.g., “Dispatched”).
- Jumptech requires statuses as integers.
- Using a Zapier Code Step, we mapped these strings into the required numeric format.
- Conditional Paths for Webflow
- If the order belongs to Webflow, Zapier uses Paths to route the updates accordingly.
- No transformation was needed, ensuring a direct and smooth sync.
The Impact
With this automation in place, the client experienced:
- Real-time updates across Jumptech & Webflow.
- Error-free data sync, reducing manual corrections.
- Significant time savings, as team members no longer needed to manually update orders.
- Scalability, since the workflow can easily handle larger order volumes.
