Shipment status and delivery questions are high-volume, repetitive, and answerable directly from a system of record, which is exactly what a flow's database and plugin nodes are built to automate instead of a person checking a tracking system by hand.
Where it fits
- Shipment status questions are grounded lookups that a Table database answers directly, without a person reading from a tracking system.
- Plugin actions can call your carrier or warehouse management APIs directly, so a flow's answer reflects your actual system instead of a cached or approximate status.
- A flow answers the same tracking question over chat, API, or an inbound call, so a customer portal and a support line can share one agent.
What this looks like
- A DATABASE node against a Table database of shipments or orders, so a flow can look up a tracking number and return its current status.
- A PLUGIN_ACTION node calling a plugin your team writes against a carrier's or your own warehouse system's API, for anything the built-in node types don't cover.
- A SIP gateway node so customers can call in and check a shipment by phone, using the same session and data as a chat or API integration.
