Custom emails for shipments
Every time a shipment status changes, your customer can receive an automatic email that tells them what is happening with their package. With custom emails you can design those messages with your brand, your style, and the information you choose, instead of going out with the carrier’s generic design.
Go to Buyer experience > Custom emails to access this section.

Default and custom emails
Section titled “Default and custom emails”When you enter you will see a list of emails. Those marked as Default are base templates that Envia.com already has configured for the most common statuses. You can use them as they are or create your own from scratch.
The table shows:
| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Email subject | The title the recipient will see in their inbox |
| Shipment status | The event that triggers the automatic email |
| Email Active | Green = active / Gray = inactive |
| Delivery rate | Percentage of emails that arrived successfully to the recipient |
| Destination country | Country this email applies to |
| User | Who created or modified the email |
| Actions | Edit, duplicate, send a test email, deactivate, or delete |

Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Why are my custom emails not being sent? Check these points:
- The email option must be green (active)
- The configured shipment status must match the actual package status
- The shipment destination country must match the one configured in the email
Can I have several emails for the same status? Yes. You can create an email per destination country or per shipment type (platform vs. ecommerce) for the same status.
What is the difference between default and custom emails? Default emails are Envia.com base templates that are sent if you do not have an active custom email for that status. Custom emails take priority and replace the default when they are active.
Can I edit a default email? Not directly, but you can duplicate it and edit it as your own custom email.
Can the delivery rate be 0%? Yes. If the email is active but has not been sent for any shipment in that status yet, the rate shows as 0%.
