Does Cortana currently track packages?

[Landsharkk]

I manually entered a fedex tracking number into cortana notebook, but have no idea how to get her to check the status for me.

What is the voice command to have her update you on the package?

 

[ajj3085]

Cortana doesn't seem to be picking up on shipping emails anymore. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[segadc]

Yes Cortana has stopped tracking packages for maybe two weeks now. I hope they get it back soon. One of my favorite features.

 

[djblitz]

The feature is working just fine for me

The feature works, but I have to enter it in the notebook. It doesn't seem to work automatically from emails.

Ya same here. Manually entered works fine, but determining from emails doesn't. I hope it comes back and wasn't removed because some dummies were crying about privacy.

Privacy is a valid issue that hardly deserves name calling. This is why Microsoft has privacy OPTIONS that you can select and deselect.

With that said, in the privacy settings in Cortana, under Flights and More, it specifically mentions it should be able to DETECT tracking info... so I'm just assuming that feature is broken atm.

Privacy is a serious issue, but most of the crying about Windows 10 and privacy has been seriously uninformed and ignores the fact that there are indeed settings (or flat out stated as they don't really do anything).

I'm aware of the wording, but given how long this has not been working and that it's a prominent feature, its possible it was disabled but they forgot to change the UI (or perhaps can't at the moment).

So is detecting tracking numbers from email working for people?

well it works for me

Hmm, well that sucks for me I guess. It quit working on me like six weeks ago, I have to manually add them.

it automatically adds it sometimes, but they dont really appear often in the card list. eh.

Oh, when I first started with Win10, it'd show up in the card list automatically. Was really impressive, even though it was limited to showing only two cards at time, even if more were being tracked. But now, nothing. I wish I needed to book a flight to see if that's still working or if she's just not scanning my emails anymore. I'm not sure if it matters, but my email is on my own Exchange server (I run a domain network at home). Thought maybe there was a change to not scan Exchange server accounts. That would be disappointing if not configurable.

 

[tofu.]

same issue here. nothing seems to be getting scanned from my e-mails. packages used to work a long long time ago, though

 

[bulls96]

Has this been brought to MSFT's attention? Its not scanning my emails for packages now.

 

[xandros9]

It looks like she's keeping an eye on a couple packages right now coming in Thurs and Fri.

 

[travelingmanjcw]

Apparently it still isn't working, as I just tried it now.

 

[Dune 74]

It works for those who are using Windows 10 OS, not sure about it working on the 8 OS. Even adds packages in route sometimes to calendar. All though it has only done this a few times for me when I order from Amazon.

 

[worldspy99]

Works really well for me on desktop, laptop and mobile, specifically for stuff coming from Amazon.

 

[fatclue_98]

Works perfectly for me on desktop, Windows Mobile and Android.
