eManifest Tracking Feature
A productivity tool that provides real-time alerts and shortcuts for monitoring sensitive manifests.
Overview
The eManifest Tracking Feature allows users to receive real-time updates whenever customs responses are received for a specific manifest.
Instead of manually refreshing or repeatedly checking a status, tracking automatically notifies you via:
- 📧 Email alerts for every new response.
- 🚨 On-screen indicators (three red exclamation marks).
- 🔗 Shortcut links for one-click access.
💡 When Should You Use Tracking?
| Scenario | Why Tracking Helps |
|---|---|
| Cancelling & Resending | You must wait for the "Cancel Accepted" response before resending. Tracking alerts you the second it happens. |
| Time-Sensitive Shipments | Ensures you know immediately if a release or reject occurs. |
| Waiting for Corrections | Prevents delays while waiting for CBSA/CBP to process an amendment. |
| Multi-Tasking | Allows you to work on other files while keeping an eye on urgent ones via the shortcut bar. |

- Hover over the Track button at the top of the page.
- Select Track eManifest (or "With Note" to add a reminder).
Result: A shortcut link immediately appears under the main menu.
2 Monitor Responses
Once active, you don't need to stay on the page.
