Short answer

How can I use my AI to make FedEx labels?

Your AI uses the FedEx connector to check if an address is correct and then builds the shipment. You'll get valid outbound or return labels without leaving your chat window. Here is how the process works.

The results of your request.

Where your shipments land.

Once the connection is live, your AI handles these four outcomes.

VALIDATION

Correct addresses

The AI checks recipient details against FedEx standards. You get confirmation that the shipment won't be rejected due to typos.

OUTBOUND

New shipments

Your AI builds outbound labels for outgoing orders. It handles the heavy lifting of the shipment data.

RETURNS

Return labels

Generate return labels for customers instantly. The AI processes the return request and provides the label.

HUMAN

Manual review

You remain in control of the final shipment details. The AI presents the data, but you decide when to pull the trigger.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves from raw text to a ready-to-print label using two specific tools.

  1. Verify the destination

    The AI takes the address you provided and runs it through a check to ensure it is deliverable.

    validate_address

  2. Prepare shipment data

    Once the address is confirmed, the AI organizes the package weight, dimensions, and service type.

    validate_address

  3. Create the label

    The AI sends the finalized data to FedEx to generate the actual shipping document.

    create_shipment

  4. Finalize the order

    The shipment is registered in the FedEx system, and the label is ready for you to print.

    The AI can create shipments that incur charges, but it only executes the command when you tell it to.
