Google Sheets supports IMPORTXML, which can pull tracking data directly from carrier websites. While major carriers block scraping, some regional services still allow it. For supported carriers, paste the tracking URL into a cell and wrap it with =IMPORTXML(). The sheet auto-populates scan history.
For carriers that block scraping, use a webhook bridge like TrackingMore or AfterShip. These services aggregate tracking across hundreds of carriers and expose an API. Connect them to your spreadsheet via Google Apps Script for seamless updates.
