Introduction

Zenkraft's Branded Tracking Add-on allows you to provide a seamless brand experience to your customers. Branded tracking emails are sent at each important stage of a shipment ( or return's) journey. When the user clicks for more information they are taken to a branded tracking page which ultimately will drive more trusted traffic back to your website.

To set up Branded Tracking you need to firstly make sure you have a licence for it (or in sandbox it should already be activated for you). You can tell if you have a licence by Zenkraft Settings / Bringg Settings and finding the Branded Tracking tab.

If you don't see the Branded Tracking tab contact sales@zenkraft.com.

There are 10 settings you can fill in:

7. Set your secondary colour, this is a hexadecimal value so something like #34AF34, or you can even type in a color, for example green.
8. This is a toggle so your users can see the whole travel history if you activate it.
9. This is where you can put some text at the bottom of the tracking page.
10. If you have any google analytics or chatbot code you can simply add it here.

Set up Multiple Branding pages

It's easy to set up Multiple Branded Tracking pages.

The first step is to create each of your different branding pages which you can do by clicking the [+] icon and filling in the details for each one as per the above steps.

Next, in your Custom Address Source you need to make sure that you have a field on your original object that specifies the Brand name that the shipment would apply to. In the screenshot above the names would be "Brand A", or "Brand B" or "Brand C".

Once you have that field set up on the same object you are using in your Custom Address Source, you can then reference the Brand field which you can find once you edit the Custom Address Source.

Add a SkyScrapper Image and URL

If you want to add a skyscraper to the side of the tracking page to let your customers know of any new products/services that's very easy to do.

At the bottom of the branding settings page you have a switch called "Enable Upsell Skyscraper".

Once activated you are  able to set the Title,  upload an image, and set the URL. This will then be shown on all tracking pages.

If you need more flexibility you can also use the Dynamic fields to select a field related to the shipment object that stores this image and URL data.

Create the Branded URL Formula

You will need to create a text type formula field on the Zenkraft Shipment for the Branded Tracking link.

Go to Setup > Object Manager > Shipment > Fields & Relationships and click on New.

Create a Text type formula field and Name it Branded Tracking URL.

Create a formula like this, where you replace the "yourtrackingpage" with the site URL from your Brand.
HYPERLINK("https://yourtrackingpage.force.com/tracking/?id=" + Id, "Branded Tracking URL")

Delete Branding Page

To delete a Branding Page just simply click on the "Remove Settings" button.
