Delivery notifications pile up in Gmail faster than you can read them, and important updates — "Out for delivery", "Delivered", "Delivery attempted" — are easy to lose between newsletters and work email. FluidGrids turns the delivery firehose into a single forward you actually see.
Connect a Gmail trigger configured to fire on delivery-shaped emails (subjects containing "tracking", "shipped", "delivered", or from known carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL). A filter node keeps only the messages that look like real delivery updates — drop marketing promotions from the same senders, drop status-page noise, drop duplicate confirmations. A WhatsApp node (or Slack, if you prefer) posts a tidy forward with the carrier, tracking number, and current status.
Because the trigger is a real platform event, the forward arrives within seconds of the carrier's email. You can branch the workflow to escalate urgent statuses — route "Out for delivery" and "Delivered" to your personal channel, route less urgent "Shipped" updates to a quieter inbox, or trigger a Switch node that handles each status differently.
The same workflow pattern handles multiple carriers. Add a Switch node that fans out one branch per carrier — UPS notifications go to one channel, FedEx to another — and consolidate everything in your daily review. Add a Google Sheets logger to keep a delivery history for record-keeping.
It is a small, kind-of-magical automation: every package status arrives where you already pay attention, automatically and verifiably.
Do it yourself
Watch Gmail for delivery notifications from carriers, filter the package updates, and forward a tidy message to WhatsApp or Slack so you always know what is arriving.
