Investigate potentially lost shipments using event evidence

Customers and operators lack a clear view of delayed, lost or damaged shipments. In this case, the immediate task is to investigate potentially lost shipments using event evidence. The workflow should produce a shipment exception report with evidence and actions, using the merchant's actual records and constraints.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me investigate potentially lost shipments using event evidence.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].

My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [provide tracking events, carrier references, promised windows and support evidence]. Normalize event timelines, distinguish confirmed exceptions from missing updates and propose carrier or customer follow-up.
Return a shipment exception report with evidence and actions for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.

Scenario & problem

When does this scenario usually come up?

Start with the business context, the trigger, and the expected output before moving into the execution steps.

Customers and operators lack a clear view of delayed, lost or damaged shipments. In this case, the immediate task is to investigate potentially lost shipments using event evidence. The workflow should produce a shipment exception report with evidence and actions, using the merchant's actual records and constraints.

How to solve

A recommended resolution workflow

Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.

01

Step 1

Start with tracking events, carrier references, promised windows and support evidence.

02

Step 2

Normalize event timelines, distinguish confirmed exceptions from missing updates and propose carrier or customer follow-up.

03

Step 3

Deliver a shipment exception report with evidence and actions; verify the result against the supplied records and identify unresolved inputs.

FAQ

Common questions when running this scenario

Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.

Does a missing tracking update prove a package is lost?

No. Scanning delays can occur. Use elapsed time, carrier evidence and the delivery commitment together.

Why retain the event timeline?

It helps identify where progress stopped and supports consistent communication with customers and carriers.

What information is needed to investigate this use case?

Start with tracking events, carrier references, promised windows and support evidence. These inputs establish the relevant scope and help separate an actual issue from missing information or an unsuitable comparison. Without them, the result should remain a proposed approach rather than a confirmed diagnosis.
