## The prompt

```text
Find all orders in Processing status placed since [time or date]. Show me the order number, customer email and items for each one. Then email a packing list for each order to my packing list recipients. Show me the list first and wait for my OK before you send anything.
```

## What happens when you paste it

You: Find all orders in Processing status placed since [time or date]…

Assistant: 14 orders in Processing since 9am, with 31 items in total. 2 orders contain only virtual products. Calling: `woocommerce/orders-query`, `woocommerce-pip/documents-send-email`.

Assistant: This will make changes in WooCommerce. Do you want me to go ahead?

Assistant: Sent packing lists for 12 orders. The 2 orders with only virtual products were skipped because they have nothing to pack.
