The Shipengine API enables robust automation possibilities for shipping logistics. From label creation, rate comparison, to tracking shipments, the API provides the tools to streamline e-commerce and shipping workflows. By harnessing Shipengine's capabilities through Pipedream, you can build seamless integrations that connect your shipping operations with other business processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual overhead.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
shipengine: {
type: "app",
app: "shipengine",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.shipengine.com/v1/addresses/validate`,
headers: {
"API-Key": `${this.shipengine.$auth.api_key}`,
"Content-Type": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Shipping Label Creation: Trigger a workflow on Pipedream when an order is placed in your e-commerce platform, like Shopify or WooCommerce. Automatically create a shipping label with Shipengine, attach the label to the customer's order details, and update the order status to "Shipped."
Real-time Shipping Rates Comparison: Set up a Pipedream workflow that triggers when a customer reaches the checkout page on your website. Call Shipengine to fetch real-time shipping rates from multiple carriers, then present the best options to the customer, optimizing for cost or delivery speed.
Order Tracking and Notifications: Implement a workflow on Pipedream that monitors the status of shipments via Shipengine's tracking API. When a shipment status changes (e.g., "Out for Delivery"), send an automatic update to the customer through email or SMS, using services like SendGrid or Twilio.

By default, all labels are returned, 25 at a time, starting with the most recently created ones. You can combine multiple filter options to narrow-down the results. See the docs.
Allows you to subscribe to tracking updates for a package. See the docs.
Address validation ensures accurate addresses and can lead to reduced shipping costs by preventing address correction surcharges. See the docs.
Shipengine uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Shipengine account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Shipengine APIs in both code and no-code steps.
