Overview
The "Create SE-Fedex Label" operation in the Shipentegra node allows users to generate shipping labels specifically for FedEx shipments within the Shipentegra logistics platform. This operation is useful for e-commerce businesses, warehouses, or logistics providers who need to automate the creation of FedEx shipping labels as part of their order fulfillment process.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically generating FedEx shipping labels when an order is ready to ship.
- Integrating label creation into a larger workflow that manages orders and shipments.
- Handling customs and declared item information for international shipments.
For example, after receiving an order in an online store, this node can be used to create a FedEx label with all necessary shipment details, including sender information, package contents, weight, and currency.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Shipentegra API after attempting to create the FedEx shipping label. This typically includes details such as:
- Confirmation of label creation.
- Label URLs or encoded label data.
- Shipment tracking numbers.
- Any errors or status messages returned by the API.
If the API returns binary data for the label (e.g., PDF or image), it would be handled accordingly, but this is not explicitly detailed here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shipentegra API.
- The node uses the Shipentegra public API endpoint at
https://publicapi.shipentegra.com/v1. - Proper configuration of credentials in n8n is necessary, including setting language preferences if applicable.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: Ensure all required fields such as sender name, address line 1, city, and order/store IDs are provided; missing these may cause API errors.
- Invalid Currency Codes: Use valid ISO currency codes from the provided options; invalid codes may lead to rejection.
- API Authentication Errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Weight or Quantity Errors: Values must be within allowed ranges (e.g., weight ≥ 0, quantities ≥ 1); otherwise, the API may return validation errors.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Shipentegra API endpoint will prevent label creation.
- Special Service Misconfiguration: If using special services, ensure the value matches supported options by Shipentegra/FedEx.
