Shipday Delivery Order Automation & Approvals
Run Shipday on autopilot. Keep the veto.
12 actions
Shipday handles dispatch, carrier management, and order editing. Rills queues each action for approval before it reaches a driver or customer.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential e-commerce action from Shipday arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.
Queue (3)
Dispatch 3 orders to the carrier you selected?
3 orders from the last 15 min · all in same zone
Carrier 'FastDash' has availability score 94%
Same pattern as yesterday's 2pm batch
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, and no surprise send you find out about after it's already out the door.
Clear runs stop waiting on you.
Every run is scored against your review step. The ones that clearly match your judgment run above your threshold without a tap; the borderline ones still come to the queue. Autonomy is earned run by run, never switched on for good.
About Shipday automation
E-commerce orders pile up faster than you can assign them. A delivery estimate fetches the wrong service level, an order goes to a carrier that's already overbooked, and a pickup-ready signal fires before the kitchen is actually ready. The ones AI gets wrong are the ones that show up in customer chats at 6pm.
When Shipday runs unsupervised
Shipday automation can dispatch orders, assign carriers, and flag deliveries as ready without a second look. But when it misreads the context, the damage ships before you even know.
- Insert Order dispatches to the cheapest carrier without checking if they're available in the delivery zone.
- Edit Delivery Order overwrites a corrected address with a stale one from the order import.
- Order Ready to Pickup signals the driver before the kitchen confirms the order is packed.
- Unassign Order from Driver kicks a driver off a delivery for a 3-minute delay, leaving the order stranded.
What Rills does inside Shipday
Rills proposes actions based on your Shipday data: inserting orders when new purchases come in, selecting carriers from the ones you've onboarded, and flagging deliveries as ready only after you've confirmed the step. You review the proposal on your phone and approve before anything ships.
The dispatch still happens; you just see it before the driver does.
Why Shipday has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Shipday doesn't send event notifications, so you can't automatically react to delivery status changes or new orders. Rills watches your Shipday account on a schedule, checking for changes and queuing proposals.
- Query Delivery Orders on a schedule to catch new orders that need carrier assignment.
- Retrieve Active Orders every few minutes to spot deliveries that are ready to be flagged for pickup.
- Check On-Demand Delivery Availability for a batch of orders before the dispatch window opens.
- Poll for carrier availability changes so you can reassign orders before a no-show.

Common questions about Shipday automation
How do I automate Shipday order creation without shipping bad orders?
Rills proposes new Shipday orders based on your store events, but holds them in a queue until you swipe to approve from your phone. No order hits Shipday unless you've reviewed it. Approvals and logic are free; you only pay when AI acts.
Can I get mobile approvals before a Shipday delivery order is edited?
When your system triggers an edit to a delivery order, Rills pauses the action and asks you to approve before it changes anything. You see the proposed edit: new address, carrier switch, whatever. Tap approve on your phone, and it ships. You never wonder what just went out.
How do I trigger pickup notifications in Shipday but still check each one?
Rills can propose a 'ready for pickup' notification after your order is prepped, but you decide if it actually fires. If you're not sure the order is ready, swipe to reject. The driver never gets a false alarm. You keep the veto.
Can I approve Shipday carrier assignments before they go live?
Before Rills adds a carrier or assigns one to an order, you get a push notification on your phone. You check the proposed carrier, estimate, and then approve with a swipe. No carrier gets added without your call. You're not stuck with the wrong courier at 4:55 pm.
How is Rills different from Zapier for Shipday automation?
Zapier automates Shipday actions instantly: you set rules, it fires. Rills inserts a human approval step between the trigger and the action. No dispatch, pickup notification, or carrier assignment reaches Shipday until you swipe. You're not chasing down mistakes after the fact.
Why use Rills instead of Make for Shipday dispatch workflows?
Make gives you visual automation, but it still runs unsupervised. With Rills, you get a mobile approval queue for every Shipday action: insert orders, edit deliveries, ready-to-pickup alerts. You're not watching a dashboard praying nothing went wrong. You decide what ships.
Does Rills support Shipday on-demand delivery estimates and availability checks?
Yes, Rills can retrieve on-demand delivery estimates, check availability, and list services from Shipday. It can propose the best option based on your rules, but you see the recommendation and approve it before booking. So you're never surprised by a $30 courier you didn't choose.
How much does Rills cost for Shipday automation?
Approvals and all workflow logic are free. You pay only for the real actions: AI calls that propose decisions and Shipday API operations that execute. If you're just reviewing and approving, it costs nothing. No per-seat fees, no hidden charges.
