We recently started using Automatic Delivery Rules and they’ve been really useful for automatically assigning delivery methods based on order timing.
One enhancement that would be very helpful would be the ability to include day-of-week conditions within the rule decision tree.
Example use case:
We only dispatch courier orders Monday–Thursday. Orders received after our 9:00am cut-off on Thursday are not dispatched until the following Monday.
Currently, we can create rules based on order date/time, but we can’t distinguish between:
-
Thursday after 9:00am (dispatch Monday)
-
Monday–Wednesday after 9:00am (dispatch next day)
As a result, orders need to be manually adjusted.
It would be useful if rules could evaluate conditions such as:
-
Day of week is Thursday
-
Day of week is Friday/Saturday/Sunday
-
Day of week is not Thursday
This would allow businesses with specific dispatch schedules to fully automate delivery date allocation and reduce manual intervention.
Thanks for considering it.
