FAQ

Questions about Create Shipment.

What does the Create Shipment action do in Etsy?

Marks a receipt as shipped with carrier and tracking number. Etsy auto-sends the shipping-confirmation email to the buyer. For "external fulfilment confirms shipment → update Etsy" sync workflows.

What inputs does Create Shipment require?

Required: Receipt ID, Tracking Code, Carrier Name. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Etsy returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Create Shipment support batch operations?

Yes. Run Create Shipment inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Etsy's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
