Automated Rakuten Unshipped Order Queue

Every morning, WebRun signs in to Rakuten, opens the orders still sitting in awaiting shipment, captures each order's customer, contents, promised ship date and any tracking number already entered, builds a Trello ship queue ordered by deadline, and posts today's list to Slack.

In short

How do I work my Rakuten orders awaiting shipment each day?

Every morning, WebRun signs in to Rakuten, opens the orders still awaiting shipment, and reads each one's customer, contents and promised ship date. It builds today's ship list in Trello ordered by deadline and posts a summary to Slack, so no order ages past its confirmation window.

  • Today's orders are worked deadline first, not newest first
  • Orders missing a tracking number are counted every morning
  • No order status is changed and no buyer is messaged by the run

Built for Rakuten shop operators · ecommerce fulfillment teams · warehouse staff · online retailers

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message customers or mark orders shipped?

No. WebRun reads the order queue and builds your internal board. Marking an order shipped and messaging the buyer stay with your team in Rakuten.

How does it decide the order of the list?

By the promised ship date on each order. Anything already past its date comes first, then today's deadlines, then the rest.

What happens to orders that shipped overnight?

They are archived from the board. WebRun reads the live order status each morning, so a shipped order never stays on the queue.

Put this on autopilot.
