Hi  
Can we put orders which fail address validation while shipping on address hold?

Hi @siddharth_singh !  
We currently have a similar setting on [the app](https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/settings). that says:

However, I made the request for Holds to be handled using the API.  
I will let you know as soon as I have an update on this.  
Thanks!  
Tom

@tomasw This helped also can you tell me what does the automated action on address validation does.

Yes, absolutely!  
That action will set the ignore\_address\_validation\_errors flag ON, which means that it will ignore address validations for that specific order.

For example, you could create an automation rule that will trigger only if the Address 1 field is listed on a list called Valid Address, like this:

 ![15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/shiphero/original/1X/2abecce4157b1995f29c1b1d5dee979233dc8fe6.png)

And this way even if its an invalid address this will ignore the validation.

**Notes:**

- you can create a list for automation rules [here](https://app.shiphero.com/dashboard/automation-rules) (on the right of your screen)
- you could also choose other triggers or combine them, such as Shipping Name. This will depend on your specific needs
