This tutorial talks about how to track packages in Slack. Using this tutorial, you will be able to track packages from FedEx, UPS, and USPS in Slack.

For this, I will use a free third-party Slack integration app called “Backtrack” that allows you to track details of the shipment, arrival, departure, and delivery status of all your packages from different services like FedEx, USPS, and UPS. For tracking packages, all you got to do is install and integrate Backtrack with your Slack account. After that, you can simply browse any Slack channel and type a command to track your packages. It automatically identifies the carrier and then fetches all the package information for you.
