Send this to your assistant

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

Why use it

Why teams use this automation

Amazon holds merchant-fulfilled sellers to a strict shipping deadline. An order that is still unshipped when its LatestShipDate passes counts as a late shipment, which hurts your late shipment rate, and a high rate can put your selling account at risk. Orders can be hidden in Seller Central between statuses such as Unshipped and Partially Shipped, and during a busy week a few get missed. The seller finds out when the buyer complains or the metrics drop.

Each day, the automation asks for orders with the status Unshipped or PartiallyShipped, sorts them by LatestShipDate, flags the ones that must go out today and emails you the list. The most urgent are at the top, with the buyer's name and items.

It is essential for merchant-fulfilled sellers with a small team and for sellers who go through peaks, such as holidays or promotions.

What you get out of it

Late shipments are prevented
Seeing which orders must leave today lets you pack the most urgent first. A low late shipment rate keeps your account healthy and eligible for features such as the Buy Box.
Account health is protected
Amazon can suspend sellers with poor shipping metrics. A daily list is cheap insurance against a problem that threatens the whole business. A late shipment rate above Amazon's target can limit your account, so a daily check is cheap protection for the whole business.
Partially shipped orders are not forgotten
These sit between statuses and are easy to lose. Including them means that the second box of a split order does not stay on the shelf. Each half of a split order needs its own attention, and the list keeps both visible.
Packing is organized by deadline
Sorting by LatestShipDate turns a pile of orders into a queue. The person packing knows what to do first without checking each order's date. The result is a clear order of work with no guesswork, which helps new staff too.
Fewer buyer complaints and refunds
Orders that arrive on time rarely lead to messages, bad reviews or A-to-z claims. Keeping to the schedule saves customer service time and money. That protects your seller rating over time.

Build your own

Need it to work differently?

This template is a starting point. Copy the prompt and change it, or describe a different automation from scratch, with your own conditions, more apps or an AI step. 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.

Changes you can ask for

Run it at a different time, more or less often, or only on weekdays
Add an AI step, for example to summarize, sort or draft a reply
Add another app, for example also send it to Slack
Combine it with other Amazon Seller Central steps into one automation

Under the hood

The code that runs this automation

This is the Python script that runs each time the automation starts. Your AI assistant writes it for you when you send the prompt, and you allow each step in your assistant. To change how the automation works, describe the change to your assistant and it updates the script for you. For every function it can use, see the script reference.

FAQ

Common questions

What does LatestShipDate mean?

It is the date by which Amazon expects you to hand the order to the carrier. Missing it counts toward your late shipment rate, so the reminder highlights orders that are due today. Carrier handover is what counts, not delivery.

Are orders that I can ship tomorrow shown too?

Yes, in a separate section with later dates. The email puts those due today at the top, so urgent orders are never mixed in with orders that have some time. Those with more time are listed lower down.

Does it show orders from all marketplaces?

It covers the marketplaces that you connect. If you sell on several, the email groups orders by marketplace, so you know which carrier, label and deadline apply to each. That makes each marketplace easy to plan separately.

What permissions does it need?

Orders (non-PII) role. Nothing else in your accounts is used.

Does it need AI?

No. It runs without AI, so it doesn't use your plan's AI allowance.

How many runs does it use?

One run each time it runs (daily). Checks that find nothing to do and stop right away aren't counted.

Can I change how it works?

Yes. Describe the change to your AI assistant, for example a different schedule, channel or filter. It updates the automation, tests it and tells you what changed.
