How to Track Packages in Google Sheets Automatically

Many sellers already keep orders in a Google Sheet. The missing piece is the delivery status, which usually means copying numbers into carrier websites every day. You can have the sheet update itself instead.

Short answer

Connect the sheet to a tracking service that reads tracking numbers from one column and writes statuses back into others. 24hTrack does this with two-way Google Sheets sync, free: it picks up new numbers you add to the sheet, detects the carrier across 3,200+ carriers and writes the delivery status back into the sheet automatically. No formulas, scripts or Zapier needed.

How it works

  • Create a free 24hTrack account and open the Google Sheets integration.
  • Connect your Google account and choose the spreadsheet and tab.
  • Tell it which column holds the tracking numbers and where the tracking results should go.
  • New numbers added to the sheet are picked up automatically, and statuses are written back as parcels move.

Why not a formula or script?

Spreadsheet formulas cannot log in to carrier websites, and scripts break whenever a carrier changes its page. Paid automation tools charge per task and still need a tracking source. A tracker with built-in sheet sync removes all of this. Lark Base (Feishu Bitable) sync is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Google Sheets track packages automatically?

Not on its own. Connect it to a tracking service with sheet sync, such as 24hTrack, which reads your tracking numbers and writes statuses back automatically, free.

Do I need Zapier to sync tracking to Google Sheets?

No. 24hTrack has built-in two-way Google Sheets sync, so no Zapier or scripts are needed.

Does it work for all carriers?

Yes. The carrier is detected for each number across 3,200+ carriers, so one sheet can mix USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, China Post and others.
