What it does
Opens UPS’s official tracking page in your browser using the selected text. Auto-suggests for 18-character numbers beginning with 1Z. Select only one tracking number: this action sends the entire selection and does not extract a number from surrounding text. Format detection does not verify the carrier or shipment. Other tracking formats may need a different action.
