What is an ESN?
An Electronic Shipping Notification, or ESN, is a shipping notice that is sent to the receiver to advise them that their freight has been despatched.
When is an ESN sent?
The ESN is sent to the receiver when the consignment is manifested, as long as there is a valid email address in the receiver details.
ESNs don't support multiple email addresses in the receiver details.
How can an ESN be customised?
| Note |
|---|
The ESN template, has been tested across multiple email clients to optimize readability regardless of application (Gmail, Outlook, Telstra Mail, Applle Mail, Samsung Mail) as well as Hardware (Phone, Tablet, Computer) |
Logo
We can add a logo of choice to the ESN, preferably with a transparent background and around 600px wide. A logo of any height will fit in the ESN.
Buttons
The buttons are usually changed to match the logo or compliment it if the logo is too light for the text.
The contact button content can be changed. This can be set to send and email to your enquiries email or ours. The button will start an email with the consignment number in the subject line.
The Track My Order button will take the customer to our tracking page, and auto-populate the consignment number, for easy tracking.
Contact Information
The contact us section can have additional contact information, phone number, an alternative email address, etc.
Tags
Tags are the words, on the ESN template, that are surrounded by the curly brackets { }. They are used to extract the consignment data and automatically add them to the ESN. The below table are the tags that can be used and what they are used for.
Name | Tag | Details |
|---|---|---|
All References: | {AllRefs} | If you have multiple references, they will display with this tag |
Carrier Name: | {CarrierName} | Carrier name |
Consignment Number: | {Connote} | Connote number |
Description: | {Description} | Number of items, weight and volume, usually displayed 1@7kg (0.013m3) |
ETA: | {ETA} | The Estimated Time of Arrival of the consignment, if there are no ETAs loaded into the system, that are provided by the carrier, this will just show as {ETA} |
Instructions: | {Instructions} | The delivery instructions |
Receiver Address: | {Receiver} | Receiver Details |
Reference: | {Reference} | For single reference numbers |
Sender Name: | {Sender} | The account the consignment was created under |
