Add a tag to order when a packing slip is printed

[Grega_Grmovsek]

Hi,

I'd like to add a tag "Packing_slip_printed" to order as soon we print a packing slip. We can sync tags to the shipping tools, and then we would filter orders by this tag to only print shipping labels for these orders.

Ideally this would be done with Shopify Flow, but I don't see a trigger for "packing slip printed".

Thanks,

Grega

Not sure how you are printing them, but I don't know that there is a way to detect when a packing slip is printed.

Hi Paul, thanks for your answer.

We print them in the Orders menu - we select orders that we want to fulfill, an option "Print" shows up, and we select "Print packing slips".

Do you know of any workarounds we could use to get that tag on these orders (besides doing it manually)?

Thanks,

Grega

That action technically just generates a PDF. The actual printing happens outside Shopify. Not really sure what can be done there as a workaround.
