How To Setup Webhooks In Detrack

Webhook is a kind of HTTP callback.

There exists a feature in Detrack to send PUSH notifications to your webhook URL for integration with other systems upon a change of job status for your jobs.

Trigger Description
In Transit New job is added, with the primary status set to In Transit.
Info Received New job is added, with the primary status set to Info Received.
Scheduled Occurs when

  • the job status is In Progress
  • has an assigned driver
  • date is of future date
In Progress Occurs when the job status is In Progress.
Heading To Driver tap Head To Location in Driver App.
Partially Completed The job is partially completed, i.e. the job has at least 1 item being rejected in the Item Details.
Failed The job has failed.
Return The job is set to the Returned status.
On Hold The job is set to the On Hold status.
Deleted When the job is Deleted.

To receive the webhook notification, you will need a small web application that can accept the HTTP requests by adding a webhook URL to your application.
