The need
Refused cash-on-delivery parcels cost shipping both ways. The store wants every COD buyer to confirm by SMS before the parcel leaves.
How to set it up
- Pair one or more phones with local SIMs.
- In Zapier, Make or n8n, trigger on the store's “order created” event and call POST /v1/messages/send asking the buyer to reply YES.
- Subscribe a webhook to message.received; when the reply is YES, tag the order as confirmed in the store.
- Optionally let the AI persona answer “where is my order?” questions outside working hours.
Good to know
- There is no one-click Shopify app yet; the automation tool does the connecting.
- Keep the confirmation text short so it fits one SMS segment.
