Dispatch API Integrations

Build and run workflows using the Dispatch API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.

Overview#

The Dispatch API provides a powerful mechanism to streamline logistics and delivery operations. By leveraging it through Pipedream, businesses can automate the scheduling and tracking of dispatches, facilitating real-time coordination between dispatchers, drivers, and customers. This can lead to more efficient route planning, faster delivery times, and improved communication, all of which contribute to a better overall experience for both the provider and the end-user.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    dispatch: {
      type: "app",
      app: "dispatch",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://app.dispatchit.com/api/external/v1/organizations`,
      headers: {
        "Accept": `*/*`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
      },
      auth: {
        username: `${this.dispatch.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: `${this.dispatch.$auth.api_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Delivery Tracking: Integrate Dispatch with GPS and mapping services on Pipedream to create a workflow that automatically updates customers with real-time tracking information. As drivers progress on their routes, Pipedream can trigger updates that are sent via SMS or email, keeping customers informed.
Dynamic Route Optimization: Use Dispatch alongside weather and traffic APIs to adjust delivery routes in real-time. If a traffic jam or poor weather conditions occur, Pipedream can trigger Dispatch to recalculate and communicate the most efficient detour to drivers, reducing delays and maintaining delivery schedules.
Streamlined Order Processing: Connect Dispatch with an e-commerce platform like Shopify. When a new order is placed, Pipedream can automatically create a dispatch job, assign it to a driver, and communicate pickup and delivery details, ensuring a smooth handoff from order placement to delivery completion.

Authentication#

Dispatch uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Dispatch account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Dispatch APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API Keys,

Navigate to your Dispatch account and sign in
Go to “Settings” > “Developer Settings”
