Connect WMS to Carrier to create label?

Could I use Zapier as middleware between a warehouse management system and a shipping carrier?

If the WMS API sends the information required for the label and Zapier reformats the information for the carrier and then listens for the pdf label response to send back to the WMS?

None of them have native connections on Zapier, I’ve quotes from developers to do this in another way - but its incredibly expensive and it seems quite a simple exchange of data.

Any ideas?

Yes, this should be fairly simple. Can you list the specific warehouse management system and shipping carrier you’d like to interface with?

@Bob Le Bob I was able to take a peek.

Assuming DX is a supported carrier, I think you may actually be able to get around using Zapier altogether using Shiphero’s “Generate Label” webhook. I’d recommend reaching out to Shiphero support at support@shiphero.com or via chat to ask for help setting that up. I think it should be a no code solution for you.

They’ll need DX’s endpoint URL (https://{{your_base_url}}/Lablel/PDF), tracking URL (https://{{your_base_url}}/Consignment/CreateConsignment, and the delivery method you’d like to use (ie. “Signature”).

Then, when you go to print a label, you’d choose “API” as the carrier instead of DX and the label details will automatically be created by DX and sent back to Shiphero for printing.

Thanks @Todd Harper 

 

I did speak with ShipHero and they said I would need middleware, unfortunately DX isn’t supported and it isn’t available via any of their integrators either.

I did a little more digging into these app’s API’s, and unfortunately, it seems to me that it just might not be possible to integrate these two services in the way you are hoping to. There very well could be someone out there smarter than me who has the answer, but I’m not seeing it…
