| We thought we might modify our drive through message to include tracking information
in it.
Would this work?
Your order was shipped with tracking, and the trackign number is
Orders shipped through Canada Post can be tracked on the Canada Post website
at https://www.canadapost.ca/trackweb/en#/home
Buyers in the USA can use the same number on the USPS website at https://www.usps.com/
and once the package has been handed over to the USPS, this link will have more
up-to-date information.
If you chose DHL Express, the tracking link is https://www.dhl.com/ca-en/home/tracking.html
If this works, it would make things easier for our buyers to follow their packages
but we don't want to create a message that will not work.
Thanks for any help!

| remember to hit the reply button to see the HTML mentioned
how I tested it was I would create a copy then resend a drive-thru to a customer
but check that it only gets sent to me and then rinse and repeat until everything
worked well

Nice!
The only issue for us is that we ship through both Canada Post (which givesit
to USPS when it arrives in the USA) and DHL.
I don't see a way to make things conditional on the shipping method chosen.

Nevermind, I just saw that there is a tag for that as well.
It would be nice if there was a 'sandbox' mode that I could use to create
orders with the different methods and send myself the drive through messages
to make sure they all work.

"how I tested it was I would create a copy then resend a drive-thru to a

for "creating orders" just use 3 orders. 1 with no tracking, 1 with Canada
post tracking, and 1 with dhl tracking and you should be good to go

Pro tip: You can use HTML tags/angle brackets in the BrickLink discussion forum:
<ORDERTRACKNO>

| OK. so while trying to change the drive-thru message I'm coming up on an
issue.
There is a conditional tag that would allow me to have specific messages for
each shipping method, but I'm having issues.
The tag is:
(SHIPMETHODID-EQ:{value})
{text to show}
(/SHIPMETHODID-EQ:{value})
(Replaced the tag greather than/smaller than with paratheses so they don't
vanish)
Now, trying to find the {value} is where I have my issue.
For instance, we have a method that has the name: "USA Tracked by Canada
Post" but trying to use this for the value doesn't work. Both with or
without the curly brackets.
Should I change the name of the shipping method to remove the spaces in it like
making it "USA-Tracked-by-Canada-Post"? Is there some other identification
for the method that I am just not seeing at the moment?
Thanks so much for any help.
