Connect AfterShip and Zendesk Messaging
When New Tracking fires in AfterShip, your agent runs Send Message in Zendesk Messaging, or New Conversation Message in Zendesk Messaging to Create Tracking in AfterShip. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
