Notifications: Top 5 Automated Workflows

Stop manually checking the platform for updates. By setting up subscriptions, you can fully embrace "Management by Exception"—letting the platform send you a notification only when your attention is actually required.

Try setting up these four popular workflows today:

1. The "Warehouse Planner"

• The Goal: Plan labor and trucking for incoming goods.
• The Setup: Filter your Saved Search to Routing: [Specific POD], and save the search as "[POD Name] Arrivals".
• The Subscription: Select the Vessel Arrival milestone.
• The Benefit: "Know exactly when goods hit the terminal so you can book trucking."

2. The "VIP Client Watch"

• The Goal: Proactive customer service for key accounts.
• The Setup: Use the Parties filter to select a specific Consignee. Save the search and name it after your client.
• The Subscription: Select your desired milestones and set your rhythm to an Hourly digest.
• The Benefit: "Update your key accounts before they even ask."

3. The "Critical Air Freight"

• The Goal: Follow a single, time-sensitive air shipment in real-time.
• The Setup: Open the specific air shipment page and click the Bell icon.
• The Subscription: Select the Flight Departure and Flight Arrival milestones. Notifications for single shipments are sent Instantly.

4. The "Control Tower Drift Detector"

• The Goal: Catch delays early across the board.
• The Setup: Filter your Saved Search to Status: Active + Mode: Sea.
