Overview#

The Locate API enables precise inventory management by tracking items in real-time. By leveraging this API with Pipedream, one can automate inventory updates, trigger alerts for low stock, and integrate with e-commerce platforms for synchronized stock management. It's a potent tool for businesses that want to streamline their inventory processes and ensure item availability through automated workflows.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    locate: {
      type: "app",
      app: "locate",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.locate.$auth.subdomain}.locateinv.com/salesordertype`,
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
        "Accept": `application/json`,
      },
      auth: {
        username: `${this.locate.$auth.api_key}`,
        password: `${this.locate.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Inventory Replenishment Notification: Set up a workflow that monitors inventory levels using the Locate API. When stock for a particular item drops below a predefined threshold, it triggers an email or SMS via integrations like SendGrid or Twilio to notify the responsible party to reorder, ensuring you never run out of key products.
E-commerce Integration for Real-Time Stock Updates: Sync inventory levels between Locate and an e-commerce platform like Shopify or WooCommerce. Whenever a sale is made, the workflow updates the stock count in Locate and reflects these changes on the e-commerce site. This automation prevents overselling and keeps customers informed about product availability.
Asset Tracking and Alerts: Create a workflow that utilizes the Locate API to track assets across multiple locations. If an asset moves outside a designated area or isn't scanned within a set timeframe, Pipedream triggers an alert using services like Slack or PagerDuty to notify the team, enhancing security and accountability of high-value items.

Authentication#

Name Slug: locate

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

For api_key, go to Setup > Users. Click on the “New User” button in the top right of the table. Enter a First Name and Last Name to identify the account. Select “API” from the User Type drop-down.

For subdomain, the subdomain with your Locate URL https://{subdomain}.locateinv.com/
