A merchant wants orders to leave without manual handling, but some addresses, stock levels and destinations still need a person to look first. In this case, the immediate task is to automate shipment processing with verified prerequisites. The workflow should produce a spec naming the check run before dispatch and the outcome when a check fails.
First replace every [bracketed] placeholder with real store scope and constraints, then add any actual records or data you have, and paste it into your preferred AI assistant or Spark agent. Spark will follow this page's workflow to produce structured output and verification steps.

Help me automate shipment processing with verified prerequisites.
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: [orders awaiting dispatch with destination, items and service level, the merchant's prerequisite list for label creation, the connected services available to run those checks, and the orders flagged for special handling]. Run each prerequisite as a gate that must return a pass before a label is created, define for every gate the outcome on failure as holding the order for manual review, retrying automatically, or routing the order to an alternative service, and exclude orders the merchant has flagged for special handling so nothing needing a human decision is processed automatically.
Return a shipping automation spec with prerequisite checks and failure handling 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.Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.
List the orders awaiting dispatch with the destination, the items and the service level on each, the prerequisites the merchant requires before a label is created, meaning address validation, stock availability, carrier eligibility for that destination and any restricted-goods rule, and the connected services available to run those checks.
Run each prerequisite as a gate that must return a pass before a label is created, define for every gate the outcome on failure as holding the order for manual review, retrying automatically, or routing the order to an alternative service, and exclude orders the merchant has flagged for special handling so nothing needing a human decision is processed automatically.
Deliver a shipping automation spec naming each gate in execution order with its pass condition, its failure outcome and the field that records the result, verify it by running over a sample of orders from the supplied export and confirming that every order ends in exactly one terminal state, and list the orders the merchant must keep on manual handling.
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
The order takes the failure outcome written for that gate, meaning hold for manual review, retry, or reroute to another service, and never advances. Marking a failed step complete would erase the audit trail, so the failed gate, its result and the time stay visible on the order.
Any order the merchant has flagged for special handling, plus those whose destination or contents have no rule on record. Automating them means a decision is made by default instead of by a person, and the resulting label cannot be recalled cheaply.
By running it over a sample of real orders from the supplied export and confirming each one ends in exactly one terminal state, meaning shipped, held or rerouted, with no order both labelled and held. The held orders should also match the gates the merchant expected to fail.
