The modules of the DHL adapter have also been upgraded to the latest versions. As of M2.4.4, it is unfortunately no longer possible to pass objects to blocks or layouts in email templates (the legacy flag is now useless). Therefore, the tracking numbers are now referenced with the following statement:

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_shipment_track" shipment_id=$shipment_id order_id=$order_id}}

If the label for one or more orders is created via Interactive Mass Action and no shipment has been created before, then no tracking information is included in the email with the shipment notification. If this is sent manually afterwards, then this works as expected.

Version 2.8.1 contains the following fix, which should actually prevent this: DHLGW-1021: fix tracking number in shipment email for bulk action

Nevertheless, the shipment seems to be saved with a delay.

Therefore, I have added the class Magento\Sales\Model\Order\ShipmentRepository; to Netresearch\ShippingCore\Model\BulkShipment\Netresearch\ShippingCore\Model\BulkShipment and added the following lines to the method createShipments:

       foreach ($shipmentCollection as $shipment) {
            $this->shipmentRepository->save($shipment);
        }

With this extension, the emails are now also sent with tracking information. Can you please integrate the change into the class or include something else so that the tracking information is guaranteed to be saved before the template processing for the shipping mail starts.

I can confirm this problem. We'll look into it.

Ref DHLGW-1271

Thanks for letting us know about this, @nobodyMO The fix will be included in the next release.

We suspect the problem was caused by MC-42758.

A bugfix version 2.8.2 was released.

Updating the Post & DHL Shipping extension (composer update --with-dependencies dhl/shipping-m2) pulls in the new package version.
