Live Auto-Updating Package Tracking in Google Sheets

· 9 min read
The team behind Your Package Tracker

If you've ever set up package tracking in Google Sheets — with any add-on — you've hit the same wall. You drop a formula, it returns In Transit, you nod, and you move on. A day later you check back and... it still says In Transit. The package was actually delivered six hours ago, but the cell never refreshed.

Every other tracking add-on we've seen has this problem. The formula evaluates once and then sits frozen, until you re-enter it, run a script, click some "refresh" button, or worse — write an Apps Script trigger that pulls new data on a schedule and inevitably breaks. Your Package Tracker is different: our PKG_STATUS_LIVE formula keeps your sheet current on its own.

This guide explains how it works, how to use it, and why it's a meaningful difference for anyone tracking packages at any scale.
