# How Can I Automate a Delivery Exception Alert When Something Goes Wrong?

You automate exception alerts by connecting delivery status to a trigger that fires the moment a shipment is marked delayed, damaged, or undeliverable. On **Jestor**, this runs through automation tied to exception status fields.

A delivery exception discovered only when a customer calls to complain means the team is always reacting after the fact, instead of catching the problem first.

## What reactive exception handling costs

- The team learning about a problem only after a customer already noticed it
- No proactive window to fix an exception before it affects the customer
- Inconsistent handling depending on who happens to notice a given issue
- Customer trust damaged by having to be the one to report a problem

## How automated exception alerts work

- A shipment marked with an **exception** status triggers an immediate alert
- The alert reaches the right team member automatically, without manual checking
- This gives a window to address the issue before the customer notices
- Consistent handling applies to every exception, regardless of who's on shift

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automated alerts shift the team from reactive to proactive handling
- Catching exceptions early protects customer trust and satisfaction
- Consistent response applies regardless of staffing or shift timing
- This scales from occasional exceptions to a high-volume delivery operation

| Reactive exception discovery     | Automated exception alerts       |
| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Found out via customer complaint | Flagged immediately, proactively |
