How To

On Delivery Notifications

To begin, navigate to the above Page URL which is located under Import/Export > Data Export > Status Updates:

This section of Transvirtual allows the configuration of status exports that send notifications to customers when consignments change to On Delivery. This provides near real-time visibility of when freight has been loaded onboard and an indication of when delivery can be expected.

Click New Rule:

Name accordingly and choose the Export Framework desired:

The Export Framework is the method in which Transvirtual will send the data - if email is chosen, an email will be sent to the nominated recipients.

Once created, the export rule will appear in the grid. Click on it to expose additional settings on the right:

Start with the Data Filter seen at the bottom.

For On Delivery Notifications, use the inbuilt Data Filter builder:

There are 3 steps when using this dropdown - each step requires a value selection and then clicking Next/Add Rule.

To configure for On Delivery tracking, setup a filter like so:

The Data Filter determines when an export is triggered and which consignments it applies to. In this example, the export triggers only when a consignment changes status to On Delivery, at which point an email is sent to the nominated recipients.

Next, configure the Export Framework Settings:

This section allows the export email content to be customized and the recipients for each notification to be configured.

Send to Customer Contact enables a variable setup where each triggered consignment sends an email only to the customer contact associated with that consignment’s customer card.

Use this exact text @Model.ConsignmentNumber to variably populate the consignment each time the rule triggers against a consignment!

Once setup, enable the rule to activate and start using it.

POD Tracking
