Customer Notifications — FAQs

Everything you need to know

Automated customer notifications are messages sent via WhatsApp, SMS, or email at each stage of an order's lifecycle — order confirmed, shipped, out for delivery, delivered — without any manual effort from your team, triggered automatically by status changes in the courier feed.

Parcelmind sends notifications through WhatsApp, SMS, and email. You can configure which channels are used by default, and customers can typically indicate a preference.

Yes, and COD orders can include an additional payment-confirmation or COD-to-prepaid conversion message as part of the automated flow.

Yes. Message delivery and open rates (for SMS/WhatsApp) are tracked so you can see engagement, not just that a message was sent.
