Celebrate Every AfterShip Milestone in Google Sheets

When a AfterShip shipment hits a meaningful milestone, n8n catches it and has Google Sheets append it as a new row in a spreadsheet — a small, automatic celebration your team actually sees.

  1. 1

    Fetch AfterShip data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native AfterShip node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the AfterShip API. Poll AfterShip for new shipments and check against a threshold. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if AfterShip can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the AfterShip shipment. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Google Sheets

    Add a Google Sheets node set to operation Append Row. Connect your Google account, choose the Spreadsheet and Sheet, and map each field from the Set node to a matching column.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real shipment in AfterShip (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Google Sheets. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your AfterShip and Google Sheets accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my AfterShip API credentials?

In your AfterShip account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native AfterShip node if one is available.

Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?

Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Google Sheets step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
