hi,
Thanks for the article. I am getting an error on email sending.
Error: Call to a member function getParentItem() on null in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/myproject/vendor/magento/module-sales/view/frontend/templates/email/shipment/items.phtml:23
I tried using Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Sender\ShipmentSender; also and same error i am getting.
Hello Mujahidh,
You can use the ‘Magento\Shipping\Model\ShipmentNotifier’ to notify the customer about shipment.
The same is working properly from our end.
Thank You
Thank you Meetanshi.. Was really helpgul
What do you need to call to create the shipping label at the same time so that it would call the UPS api for example.
You will need to pass required shipping parameters to UPS API to generate Shipping Labels.
