The ShipStation API allows for streamlined management of shipping operations for e-commerce. With it, you can automate order processing, label creation, and tracking updates. Pipedream excels as a platform for integrating ShipStation with other services to create custom workflows.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
shipstation: {
type: "app",
app: "shipstation",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://ssapi.shipstation.com/users/`,
auth: {
username: `${this.shipstation.$auth.api_key}`,
password: `${this.shipstation.$auth.api_secret}`,
},
})
},
})
Order Sync and Notification: Create a workflow that syncs new orders from your e-commerce platform into ShipStation, then automatically sends a notification via Slack or email when the order is dispatched. This keeps teams instantly informed about order statuses.
Inventory Management: Set up a workflow that monitors ShipStation for shipped orders and updates the inventory counts in a database or an app like Airtable. This can trigger reorder notifications when stock levels fall below a certain threshold, ensuring inventory is always replenished.
Customer Support Automation: Implement a workflow where, after an order is shipped, a follow-up email is sent to the customer with personalized content based on their purchase history. Integrate with a CRM like HubSpot to tailor the outreach and enhance customer experience.
Emit new event for each new webhook event received. See docs here
ShipStation uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your ShipStation account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to ShipStation APIs in both code and no-code steps.
The ShipStation API uses Basic HTTP authentication. Use your ShipStation API Key as the username and API Secret as the password. You can find your API Key under Settings.
