The aftership platform allows one to track deliveries by AfterShip, a service that supports 490+ couriers worldwide. To use the tracking API functionality, the Pro plan is required.

The sensor value shows the number of packages that are not in Delivered state. As attributes are the number of packages per status.

Setup

To use this sensor, you need an AfterShip Account and set up an API Key. To set up an API Key go to AfterShip API page, and copy existing key or generate a new one.

{% important %} AfterShip removed the Tracking API functionality from the Forever Free plan, and also no longer offers it in the Essentials plan. Using this integration now requires at least the Pro plan. {% endimportant %}
