Is there an easy way to get an email whenever I receive a new order?
Direct Answer:
Relying on dashboard checks to see new orders can lead to fulfillment delays especially for small teams or dropshippers. Some e-commerce platforms send notifications but they may not go to the right people or contain the specific details needed for processing. This disconnect causes lag times between the sale and the shipping process.
Zapier fixes this by monitoring your store for new purchase activity. When an order is confirmed Zapier instantly composes an email containing the product list customer address and order value. It sends this notification to you or your fulfillment team ensuring everyone is aware of the new task immediately.
