Courier chat

To quickly respond to changes in a route and adjust delivery information, use the chat in the Yandex Courier app and the Routing workspace. Chats take place in a different app: Yandex Messenger. For detailed instructions on how to use chats, see Help.

In chats, you can exchange text messages and send photos. This is a secure and reliable way for the logistics coordinator and the courier to exchange internal information. A courier can confirm that something was delivered or report a problem by adding photos.

When a courier sends a message to the logistics coordinator, information about the route and order is automatically added to it. The exact information depends on how the courier sent the message.

Message templates

Couriers often face the same problems. To save couriers' time, you can compose messages in advance for any number of situations. The list of messages will be displayed in the Yandex Courier app so couriers can send them in just one tap.

Information can be worded to account for your orders, routes, and couriers. Just remember that the descriptions must be concise and fit on the screen of the Yandex Courier app. Keep them as short as possible. For example:

• Wrong address
• No answer
• Road accident

To send a message template to the logistics coordinator, the courier chooses the problem from the list in the app. The message is then inserted into Yandex Messenger.
