Event type: shipment.assigned

Event type: “shipment.assigned”

The “shipment.assigned” webhook event is triggered whenever a Shipment or a delivery package in the Locate2u system is assigned to a driver or team member. Developers integrating with Locate2u can subscribe to this webhook event and listen to the response to handle it on their URL/website. This is how you subscribe to the “shipment.assigned” webhook:

• Subscribe to the “shipment.assigned” event by making a POST call to the api/v1/webhooks endpoint with two parameters : “eventType” and “url”.

Example Request Body

The request body should be in raw format and should contain below fields:

• eventType (string, required): The type of event for the webhook. Here we are subscribing to shipment.assigned webhook.
• url (string, required): The URL where the webhook payload will be sent.

{
  "eventType": "shipment.assigned",
  "url": "https://hookb.in/"
}

Once subscribed to the “shipment.assigned” event, the Locate2u webhook will send a payload with details of the event whenever a shipment is assigned, allowing you to perform actions on your end accordingly. See the response section for an example payload sent by the webhook. Below, you will find example requests on how to subscribe to the “shipment.assigned” event.

Sample code

var client = new HttpClient();
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "http://api.locate2u.com/api/v1/webhooks");
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer yourBearerTokenHere");
var content = new StringContent("{\"eventType\": \"my.event\", \"url\" : \"https://hookb.in/"}", null, "application/json");
request.Content = content;
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
Console.WriteLine(await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync());

  .build();
