Scheduling Emails According to Delivery Timing
Loox enables you to time your review request emails based on the delivery of the products.
If your delivery times vary a lot between individual orders, delivery-based timing will allow you to always reach your customers.
You can use delivery-based timing in one of two ways - using the Loox + AfterShip integration or using Shopify's
shipment_status field on orders.
Delivery-based timing is available on the Scale plan and up. Click here to upgrade your plan.

Shopify Shipping labels will allow you to track packages from shipping companies like USPS, UPS, DHL Express, Canada Post, Sendle, and more.

We suggest contacting your package tracking app and asking if they update the shipment_status field in Shopify.
