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#

Name Slug: dispatch

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”
