What is an Attempted Delivery Flow?

An Attempted Delivery Flow automatically sends messages to customers when the delivery carrier tried to deliver their package but couldn't complete the delivery.

It lets them know what happened and helps them take action to receive their order.


How Does It Help?

This flow helps you:

  • Alert customers immediately about delivery issues

  • Provide clear instructions on what to do next

  • Prevent packages from being returned to sender

  • Reduce customer frustration and confusion

  • Ensure successful delivery on the next attempt


How to Create an Attempted Delivery Flow

There are two ways to get started:


1. From the Flow Home Screen

  • Scroll down to find the Attempted Delivery Flow Template

  • Click Create

2. From the Create Menu

  • Click + Create Flow

  • Select Use a Flow Template

  • Choose Attempted Delivery Flow

  • Click Create Flow

Customize Your Flow (Optional)

Once you create the flow, you'll see the Flow Builder screen.


To make changes:

  • Click Edit Flow at the top

  • Customize the messages, timing, or settings as needed

  • Note: Editing a flow creates a new version of it. Go to "See Version History" from the three dots on top to activate the correct version.

  • Learn more about versioning here

To use it as-is:

  • Simply Turn On your flow, or

  • Schedule it to start later

Important Note:

Set the compliance for this flow to "Transactional" to prevent carriers from misclassifying and filtering these messages.
