Automated EasyPost Shipping Cost Reconciliation
Every Monday, WebRun opens EasyPost, checks every label purchased last week for its cost, carrier, and order reference, logs each shipment in Airtable against its matching order, and posts a reconciliation summary to Notion flagging any shipment with no matching order or a cost above what was expected, so shipping spend never drifts unnoticed.
How do I reconcile EasyPost shipping costs against my orders?
WebRun checks EasyPost every Monday for last week's label spend, logs each shipment in Airtable against its matching order, and posts a reconciliation summary to Notion flagging any shipment with no matching order or a cost above what was expected. That catches shipping cost drift weekly instead of finding it at month end.
- Shipping cost overruns get flagged the same week they happen
- Every shipment is matched to its order automatically
- Resolved mismatches stop reappearing in the weekly summary

Questions, answered
Will it purchase or void a shipping label for me?
No. WebRun only reads label and cost data already in EasyPost and reconciles it against your orders. Purchasing or voiding a label stays a step your team takes.
What counts as a mismatch?
A shipment with no matching order found, or one costing noticeably more than expected for its service level. Both get flagged so someone can check why.
What happens once a flagged mismatch is resolved?
It reads the live order and shipment data each Monday, so a mismatch resolved during the week is not flagged again the following run.
