Integrate with Automatewo
complete
Christopher Michael
2016-02-03 - version 2.1.10
* New – Support for the WooThemes Shipment Tracking plugin with new variables
* {{ order.tracking_number }}
* {{ order.tracking_url }}
* {{ order.date_shipped }}
* {{ order.shipping_provider }}
I would like to see integration with automatewoo, so I can include tracking information through automatewoo variables.
Automatewoo and Woo Tracking official plugin already has this, I need it or I cannot switch to Zorem which has additional features i need too
Zorem

We added compatibility with AutomateWoo to the AST PRO plugin: https://docs.zorem.com/docs/ast-pro/compatibility/automatewoo/
Zorem
in progress
We will add the compatibility on the next version of AST PRO.

Automatewoo is owned by woocommerce they integrate with their own.
They won't care to integrate with zorem this is why i ask you.
Zorem
Did you try to check with AutomateWoo, if they added the integration with the WooCommerce shipments tracking, its works the same to add integration with AST, this should be done on their end.
Christopher Michael
Zorem: I did not, because I don't expect woocommerce to consider integration because of 1 request, even if its a good feature, plus they mostly support their own plugins, integrating with Zorem is not their interest because you are a competitor of theirs...
If I did ask them, they would take many months or longer even if its simple.
You on the other hand might be willing, I hope. You could create the integration yourself and then I can buy your plugin.

Christopher Michael: I agree with what you wrote. This is sad since zorem contributed a lot to WooCommerce and I always thought that it's their interest to support the compatibility between WooCommerce and our products but I guess that I was wrong. I will ask the Dev team to check if its possible to do it on our end. Can you share how and for what you use AutomateWoo? We are working on a new product that will have some of the features from AutomateWoo.

Zorem: thank you for your consideration.
I use automatewoo for several automatic tasks, I can't really get into detail because it is several different things.
I would like to respectfully mention that I would not like to move away from them, automatewoo is extremely powerful and very well developed I have no interest in moving to an alternative unless it was truly competitive some how, automatewoo has been around a long time and they are very stable and no bugs etc and this is very important to my business.
I really need your Royal Mail Click & Drop functionality, (which retrieves tracking information from the order note)
If you are able to integrate with automatewoo, I will be buying your plug-in right away because my drop shipper uses Click & Drop (annoying because click & drops is horrible) but I'm forced to use it and I am doing wasteful manual tasks..
By the way you could probably benefit by some SEO for the Royal Mail Click & Drop feature, I have needed it for years and I accidentally realized you offered this, there is probably more people looking for it if you do SEO they will find it better like make some blog article...
Thank you for your time.

Christopher Michael: Your request is related to their plugin functionality and needs to be done on their end. I did not ask you to move to use other product, I asked how you use AutomateWoo and tracking info so we can understand how you use it and maybe offer you alternative way, we do not have a lot of resources and checking the compatibility with WooCommerce official products is also less priority on our end unless there is a demand by customers and when we get cooperation from the other plugin developer and this is not the case with WooCommerce official plugins since they are not willing to cooperate.

Zorem: Amazing, very fast and already completed. I appreciate this a lot and will be buying the plugin shortly.
I notice also a your new Trigger, this is great :) You went above and beyond, I appreciate this and future customers will also appreciate this when they see the value.
