A comma in a dependent clause

The Shipper said after they checked that, they would notify me of the result.

I'd like to know whether or not I should use a comma after 'that' in 'after' clause.

Thank you in advance for your help.

If you mean "that" to be the object of "checked" then you need a comma. Otherwise "that" would be read as a conjunction..
