The problem

Where is my order takes two systems to answer

Answering where an order is means checking FreshBooks for the invoice and payment, then ShipStation for the shipment and tracking. It is easy to miss that an invoice was paid but never shipped.

Without PopdockAI

  • Find the invoice in FreshBooks
  • Check its payments
  • Search ShipStation for the shipment
  • Piece together tracking and delivery

With PopdockAI

  • The invoice and its payments are read
  • The shipment, label and tracking are found
  • One dated timeline from invoice to delivery
  • Plain status, no guessing, nothing changed

Prompt
**Objective:** For invoice `{invoice-number}`, show whether it was paid, shipped and delivered, in one timeline.

**Step 1: Find the invoice (FreshBooks server)**

Call `freshbooks-get-invoice` with invoice-number set to `{invoice-number}`. If more than one invoice matches, list them and stop. Note `id`, `customer-id`, `organization`, `po-number`, `amount`, `payment-status`, `date-paid` and `create-date`.

**Step 2: Find payments (FreshBooks server)**

Call `freshbooks-get-payment` with invoice-id set to the invoice id. List each payment date, type and amount.

**Step 3: Find the shipment (ShipStation server)**

Call `shipstation-get-shipment` with external-order-id set to the invoice-number; if nothing comes back, try the invoice's po-number. Take `shipment-id` and `shipment-number`.

**Step 4: Find label and delivery (ShipStation server)**

Call `shipstation-get-label` with shipment-id set to that shipment-id for `tracking-number`, `tracking-url`, `tracking-status`, `carrier-code` and `voided`. Then call `shipstation-get-fulfillment` with shipment-number set to the shipment-number for `delivered-at` and `carrier-name`.

**Step 5: Report**

A dated timeline: invoice created, each payment, shipped, delivered. Add a one-line status such as paid and delivered, paid but not shipped, or shipped but unpaid.

**Rules & Guidelines:**

* `freshbooks-get-invoice` and `freshbooks-get-payment` are on the freshbooks server; the shipment, label and fulfillment tools are on the shipstation server.
* Read-only. Do not call any freshbooks add, update, delete, mark or send tool.

**Validation:**

* If the invoice is not found, stop. If no shipment is found, report the invoice facts and say no shipment exists in ShipStation under that reference.
* If a label is voided, say so and use any non-voided label instead.
