Overview
The node integrates with the Shipentegra API to manage shipping and logistics operations. Specifically, the "Create Post Orders" operation allows users to create post orders by submitting one or more order IDs to the Shipentegra system. This is useful for automating the process of posting orders for shipment, streamlining order fulfillment workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically creating shipment orders in Shipentegra when new sales orders are received in an e-commerce platform.
- Batch processing multiple order IDs to generate corresponding post orders in Shipentegra.
- Optionally toggling a boolean flag (named "Shipentegra") that might control additional behavior related to the order creation process.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Order IDs | A collection of one or more numeric order IDs to be posted. Each ID must be between 1 and 9007199254740991. |
| Shipentegra | A boolean flag (true/false) that may modify how the post orders are created or processed. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Shipentegra API after attempting to create the post orders. This typically includes details about the created post orders such as confirmation status, order references, or error messages if any occurred.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would likely relate to labels or shipping documents generated during the order creation process.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shipentegra API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://publicapi.shipentegra.com/v1. - Requests use JSON content type and expect JSON responses.
- The node depends on the Shipentegra service being available and reachable.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing order IDs will cause the API request to fail.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Shipentegra API.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Error messages:
- Authentication failures usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- Validation errors from the API may specify which order IDs are invalid or missing.
- Timeout or network errors suggest checking internet connection or API service status.
