Automations are eGrow's no-code engine for putting your operations on autopilot. Instead of doing the same steps by hand β pushing an order to a carrier, sending a confirmation message, updating a sheet β you build a workflow once and eGrow runs it every time. Open the builder at https://v2.egrow.com/automations.
The three building blocks
Every automation is a small flow made of connected steps (nodes):
- A trigger β the event that starts the workflow, such as a new order arriving or an order reaching a certain stage.
- Modules (actions & searches) β the steps that do the work. A search fetches information (get an order, get products), and an action does something (create a parcel, send a message, add a row to a sheet).
- Connections β the links between steps that decide the order they run in, and pass data from one step to the next.
You arrange these on a visual canvas β add a trigger, drop in the modules you need, and connect them. When the trigger fires, eGrow runs each connected step in order.
Connected to everything you use
Modules come from a library of 100+ connected apps across shipping carriers, stores, messaging, email, and more. Because eGrow standardizes common capabilities β Add Parcel, Track Parcel, Send Message, Get Orders, and so on β a workflow you build for one carrier reads almost identically for the next.

Start from a ready-made template
You don't have to build from scratch. eGrow ships ready-made templates for common jobs β auto-confirming orders, pushing parcels to a specific carrier, syncing orders to Google Sheets, checking for duplicate orders. Browse them at https://v2.egrow.com/automations/templates, install one, and adjust it to your needs. See Customize ready-made templates.
Watch it run
Every time an automation fires, eGrow records the run β each step and its result β so you can see exactly what happened and fix anything that failed. That history is your best friend when tuning a workflow.
Tip: start simple. A single automation that sends a WhatsApp confirmation when an order arrives, or that creates a parcel when an order is confirmed, already saves hours a week. Add more steps as you get comfortable.
