Yes, you can add more filter conditions in Step 2 by clicking "Add condition" and including terms like "express," "priority," "overnight," or "rush" to match all your expedited shipping options. ### What happens if the email address in Step 4 bounces or is incorrect? The workflow will continue running and still add the tag to orders, but you won't receive email notifications. Check your MESA activity log to see delivery failures and update the email address in the step. ### Will this work with third-party shipping apps that create custom shipping methods? Yes, as long as your shipping app creates shipping methods with recognizable names containing expedited keywords. You may need to customize the filter conditions in Step 2 to match the exact naming convention your shipping app uses. ## Make this template your own!
