Sending push information for Parcel events

This enables external systems to add events and information to parcels flowing through the distribution networks powered by DI technology.

Authorization and access

In order to send information you need to initiate this with you transport carrier og partner.
Any external part adding information will be limited to the selection of parcels they are entitled to.

Production and test environments are available

Preparation

In order to start sending events the following values needs to be set up, this is done with you transport carrier or partner.

Value	Purpose
URL	URL where events should be posted
Origin	Defines you as a sender in our system
event- eventTypeID	ID which identifies the type of action or information.
event - originOrderEventSystemId	Defines your ID in our system

Who can access the information you send?

Information and events added will be used according to agreement between DI and costumer (your transport carrier or partner). A common purpose is to provide accurate tracking, e.g. available through Parcel Event Log V2.

Do not share personal or sensitive information.
