EasyPost is a Shipping API that solves complex logistics problems for eCommerce businesses.
Go to siteThe EasyPost API simplifies the shipping process by offering a suite of tools for rate shopping, label creation, tracking, and address verification. With Pipedream, you can automate these shipping tasks, integrate with various services (like e-commerce platforms or inventory systems), and streamline your logistics operations. Pipedream lets you build serverless workflows using EasyPost’s API, enabling you to connect shipping data with other apps, react to shipment updates in real-time, and create custom notifications or reports.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
easypost: {
type: "app",
app: "easypost",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.easypost.com/v2/users`,
auth: {
username: `${this.easypost.$auth.api_key}`,
password: ``,
},
})
},
})
Order Fulfillment Automation: When a new order comes in from an e-commerce platform like Shopify, you can use Pipedream to automatically create a shipping label with EasyPost. This workflow can capture the order details, calculate the best rate, generate a label, and update the order status with the tracking number.
Shipment Tracking Updates: Set up a Pipedream workflow that listens for webhook events from EasyPost for shipment tracking updates. The workflow can filter for specific status changes, like 'out for delivery', and send real-time notifications via SMS with Twilio or email through SendGrid to keep customers informed.
Address Verification System: Before shipping orders, you can validate customer addresses using EasyPost's Address Verification API. Integrate this with a CRM like Salesforce or HubSpot using Pipedream to ensure every address in your system is accurate, reducing the chances of failed deliveries and improving customer satisfaction.
EasyPost uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your EasyPost account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to EasyPost APIs in both code and no-code steps.
