We currently send our customers the Order Shipped email that contains a link to FedEx's site and passes the variable $(TrackingNumber). This is working fine but our customers are required to manually type in the tracking number on FedEx's site. I have purchase from other online vendors where they link they send you has the tracking information built into it so when you click on the link it shows you, your specific trackig details. For example:

http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?trackn...&cntry_code=us

I want to send out a link but to do this I need a variable that gives me just the tracking number text. The $(trackingNumber) gives you a box with the carrier, tracking number, and date shipped.

I feel certain that this variable exists but according to the "Level 1" support person it does not. Anyone know of other variables that are available? Thanks.

You could use JavaScript to parse the out the tracking number and have that change the URL to include the tracking number.

Just an FYI for other people looking for variables.

Here is a list I have compiled of all of the variables used in each email template:


Order Confirmation to Customer
$(CompanyLogo)
$(CustomerID)
$(OrderNo)
$(OrderDate)
$(OrderTime)
$(Bill_CompanyName)
$(Bill_FirstName)
$(Bill_LastName)
$(Bill_Address1)
$(Bill_Address2)
$(Bill_State)
$(Bill_PostalCode)
$(Bill_Country)
$(Bill_PhoneNumber)
$(EmailAddress)
$(Ship_CompanyName)
$(Ship_FirstName)
$(Ship_LastName)
$(Ship_Address1)
$(Ship_Address2)
$(Ship_City)
$(Ship_State)
$(Ship_PostalCode)
$(Ship_Country)
$(Ship_PhoneNumber)
$(DisplayPaymentMethod)
$(ShippingMethod)
$(OrderDetails)
$(Order_Comments)
$(StoreName)
$(HomeURL)


Order Confirmation to Merchant
exact same variables as to customer


Email A friend
$(CompanyLogo)
$(FirstName)
$(PersonalMessage)
$(FirstName)
$(ProductName)
$(ProductDescriptionShort)
$(ProductPrice)
$(CompanyNameShort)

$(ProductDetailsURL)
$(HomeURL)

$(GiftAmount)
$(Message)
$(GiftCode)
$(RedeemURL)

$(CompanyLogo)



Order Has Shipped
$(CompanyLogo)
$(FirstName)
$(OrderNo)
$(OrderDate)
$(DownloadLink)
$(TrackingLink)
$(TrackingNumbers)
$(StoreName)
$(HomeURL)


Order has Shipped Partial
Exact same as Order Has shipped except there is no $(TrackingNumbers) variable.



PO to Vendor
$(CompanyLogo)
$(PO_Date)
$(OrderNo)
$(PO_From)
$(PO_ShipTo)
$(PO_ShipVia)
$(PO_DueDate)
$(PO_Terms)
$(PO_FOB)
$(PO_Details)
$(PO_Notes)
$(PO_SignedBy)


Recurring Declined
$(CompanyLogo)
$(Config_CompanyNameLegal)
$(FirstName)
$(RecurringPrice)
$(Config_FullSecureStoreURL)
$(OriginalOrderID)
$(Config_CompanyNameShort)


Recurring Sucess
$(CompanyLogo)
$(Config_CompanyNameLegal)
$(RecurringPrice)
$(Date)
$(Config_CompanyNameShort)



Unfortunately, as you can see, there is not any variable for just the 'tracking number' which doesn't include the shipping company and date shipped. If you would like to see this variable added to a future version/upgrade to the software, I would suggest submitting a feature request.

This is an awesome list. Thank you! I did a partial list in the forums a while back but nothing to this extent. Just fyi, as far as I can tell, the Recurring Declined email does not work. It's been almost 2 years now since I inquired about fixing it, but have not seen a fix yet.
