Which confirmation options can I use with Shipping Rules?
Shipping Rules can automate many of your daily shipping decisions. One of the best uses is to automatically add delivery confirmation to your shipments. When creating the Shipping Rule, we'll show you all carriers' confirmation options; however, each carrier and service will only be eligible for specific confirmation options. Learn more.
Here's a break down for which carriers and services you can pair with each confirmation option:

IMPORTANT: any rule applying a confirmation option requires that a Saved Carrier Selection is also applied via a Shipping Rule. This is because each confirmation option is dependent on the carrier selection. A Saved Carrier Selection can be applied as a separate rule or within the same rule. In either case, the Saved Carrier Selection rule/action must be placed before the delivery confirmation rule/action. Learn how to make a Saved Carrier Selection or take a look at our example Shipping Rule to apply Saved Carrier Selections.
