Summary
The email informing the first shipping update is not sent until the API returns the second shipping update, which must be different from the first one.
Simulation
- On the VTEX platform, create an order and follow the usual order flow to the status Invoiced.
 - Send a shipping update for the order via the Order tracking API.
 - Note that the first shipping update email is not sent.
 - Send another shipping update identical to the first one.
 - Note that the first shipping update email is not sent.
 - Create another order and follow the usual order flow to the status Invoiced.
 - Send a shipping update for that order via the Order tracking API.
 - Note that the first shipping update email is not sent.
 - Send another shipping update that is different from the first one.
 - Note that the first shipping update email has been sent.
 
Workaround
As a workaround, ensure that the second update sent via the Order tracking API is different from the first one. By doing so, the email will be sent.
