For **Out of Network Trading Partners**, an email containing a link to the shipping record will be automatically sent once the shipping record is captured in your account. The below steps outline how to setup email based sharing of shipping records with **Out of Network Trading Partners**. ### Setup Out of Network Trading Partner 1.
