ShipStation Address Validation Error Queue Automation
Every morning, WebRun opens ShipStation and identifies orders flagged with address validation errors or unverified addresses, groups them by error type such as missing suite number or unrecognized street, and writes an actionable correction queue to Airtable so your team can fix addresses before labels are printed and packages go out the door.
How do I automatically catch ShipStation address validation errors before printing labels?
WebRun scans ShipStation every morning for orders with address validation errors or warnings, groups them by error type, and writes an actionable correction queue to Airtable. Your team reviews and fixes each address before labels are printed, preventing undeliverable packages and costly carrier returns.
- Address errors caught before labels print, reducing undeliverable shipments
- Correction queue organized by error type so the team fixes in priority order
- Already-fixed orders not re-queued because ShipStation status is read live each morning

Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it auto-correct or modify customer addresses?
No. WebRun only surfaces the error and logs it for your team to review. Address corrections are made by a human before any label is created.
Does it flag warnings as well as hard errors?
Yes. Both validation warnings such as a possible missing unit number and hard errors such as an unrecognized street are included in the queue so your team can check before committing to a label.
What happens to orders already fixed since the last run?
WebRun reads live ShipStation status each morning, so orders that have been corrected and no longer carry an address flag are not added again.
