What can the Shipday Make integration do for your deliveries?
The Shipday Make integration links your Shipday account to Make, a visual tool where you build a scenario: an automation made of modules, each one a brick that watches, acts or searches. Orders get created, assigned and read in Shipday while you work elsewhere, with no code to write.
No more copied orders. A bakery that takes orders through an online form can send each new one to Shipday with Create an Order, then hand it to a driver with Assign an Order in the same scenario. The order data travels as a bundle, one item passed from one module to the next.
A team that hears about activity. Watch Events is an instant trigger: Shipday calls Make as soon as a new event happens, and the scenario can post a message in the tool your dispatchers already read.
A clean record of orders. A florist who wants every order in a spreadsheet can run List Orders, which returns zero, one or several orders, and write each one as a row. Get an Order fetches a single order when you already know which one you need.
What Make does not cover here: the documentation gives no module beyond these 7. For anything else in the Shipday API, Make an API Call reuses the same connection. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison sets the criteria side by side, and the Make training helps you build faster. Plans are explained on the Make pricing page.
How do you connect your Shipday account to Make?
- 01
Copy your API key in Shipday
Open the Dispatch Dashboard in Shipday, go to the My Account section and copy the API key shown with your account information. You need an active Shipday account for this key to exist.
- 02
Add a Shipday module in Make
In your scenario, add any Shipday module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Shipday account linked to Make once, then reused by every Shipday module you add later.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Give the connection a clear label in Connection name if you like, it is optional. Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, and confirm to finish the link.
Your first scenario: new shop orders straight to a carrier
GoalWhen a customer orders in another app, Make creates the order in Shipday and assigns it to a carrier.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the module of the app where orders arrive, such as your shop or your order form.
- 02
Add Create an Order
Click the + on the right, search for Shipday and choose Create an Order. Connect your account, then map the customer and delivery details coming from the previous module.
- 03
Hand it to a carrier
Add Assign an Order after it. Map the order that Create an Order just returned, then pick the carrier. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read from your Shipday account.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once, place a test order in your shop, and open the bundles each module received. Check in Shipday that the order exists and carries the right carrier.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Open the clock on the first module. A new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default, so adjust it if your plan allows, then switch the scenario on.
What can start a Shipday scenario?
1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Shipday. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Shipday as soon as it happens.
Watch Events
Instant triggerIn Make“Triggers when a new event has occurred.”
You get a scenario that wakes up the moment something new happens in your Shipday account, instead of a job that checks back later. The event lands in Make as a bundle that the next modules can use.
What can Make do in Shipday?
Shipday gives you 6 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Assign an Order
ActionIn Make“Assigns an order to a carrier.”
This gives an existing order to a carrier, so the delivery gets a driver without anyone opening the dispatch screen. It fits right after the module that produced the order.
Create an Order
ActionIn Make“Creates a new order.”
Your orders show up in Shipday on their own, filled from the app where the customer actually bought. It is the entry point of most Shipday scenarios, since the other actions need an order to work on.
Delete an Order
ActionIn Make“Deletes an existing order.”
This removes an existing order from Shipday, which keeps the dispatch board free of orders that will never ship. Place it behind a clear condition, such as a cancellation received in your shop.
Get an Order
ActionIn Make“Retrieves an existing order.”
You receive the full details of one order you already know, ready to reuse in the following modules. Pick it over List Orders when a single order is in play and you have its reference from an earlier step.
Make an API Call
ActionIn Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”
This opens the rest of the Shipday API to your scenario, with the connection you already set up, so you can reach an endpoint that none of the other 6 modules covers.
List Orders
SearchIn Make“Retrieves a list of orders.”
You get a batch of orders from Shipday, each one arriving as its own bundle, which makes a report or a spreadsheet export simple to set up. It is a search module, so the answer can hold zero, one or several orders.
