Connect Kustomer With AfterShip Tracking

Plans: AfterShip Tracking Pro or higher Plan Platforms: All Platforms

Overview



Add AfterShip Tracking to your Kustomer support account for ease of accessing tracking details right inside the Kustomer support ticket window. The app fetches the tracking numbers associated with the ticket requester’s email address and displays the latest delivery statuses and fields from your AfterShip Tracking account.

The integration aims to boost your customer support team’s productivity. Support agents do not have to leave Kustomer support ticket window to get delivery updates, resulting in fewer clicks for the agent and a quick turnaround time for your customers.
