Automate EasyPost

Watch your EasyPost trackers and label costs without opening the dashboard. You can be told when a tracker hits failure, return_to_sender or error, and get a nightly figure for postage bought through EasyPost. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when an EasyPost tracker changes to failure, return_to_sender or error, email me the tracking code, carrier and the latest tracking detail.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in EasyPost

A warning when a tracker reports trouble, and an evening total of the labels you paid for. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
The moment it happens

Get an email when an EasyPost tracker reports a problem

The moment a parcel fails, is sent back or errors, you hear about it and can contact the customer first.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with EasyPost, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any EasyPost automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what EasyPost should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every morning, check my EasyPost trackers and list shipments that have been in transit longer than the carrier's estimate.

When an EasyPost tracker reports a delivery exception, post it to our #support Slack channel.

Every week, add EasyPost label costs to Google Sheets by carrier, and create a Notion summary of where we could save by switching carriers.

Beyond chat

Have EasyPost work when you're not in the chat

Connecting EasyPost to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect EasyPost

EasyPost uses an API key from your account settings. A test key lets you try things without paying for labels; a production key works with real shipments.

EasyPost

Shipping

  1. Sign in to EasyPost and open Account Settings, then API Keys.
  2. Copy your Production key, or your Test key to experiment first.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, save it as a secret on Connections & secrets.

Good to know

EasyPost limits that affect automations

  • The test key is free, but it only sees test shipments. Real tracking and spend reports need the production key.
  • Labels bought with the production key are charged to your EasyPost account.
  • Managing users, billing, carrier accounts and keys is only possible with the production key.

FAQ

Questions about automating EasyPost

What can ClickRuntime read from EasyPost?
Shipments and the rates you paid for them, plus tracker updates that EasyPost sends. With the production key it can see your live shipping data.
Should I use the test key or the production key?
Use the test key while you shape an automation, since nothing is charged. Switch the secret to the production key once you want it to work with real parcels.
How quickly do tracking problems reach me?
Right away. EasyPost posts a tracker.updated webhook to the link ClickRuntime gives you, and the automation emails you if the status is failure, return_to_sender or error.
Is AI part of these automations?
No, they are simple checks and totals. AI is included with every ClickRuntime plan if you want it for something else, with no AI key needed.
Is this a EasyPost connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with EasyPost data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change EasyPost while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each EasyPost event.
