What you need

When it runs
An email contains "where is my order", "tracking" or "shipped".
Steps
- Filter those emails into a label with Gmail search.
- In Zapier, find the customer's latest order in Shopify by email.
- If an order with tracking exists, create a draft reply with the carrier and tracking link.
- If no order is found, draft a reply asking for the order number.
- Send drafts by hand for the first two weeks, then decide whether to auto-send.
