Re: What's the most appropriate webhook for when a product is shipped?

What's the most appropriate webhook for when a product is shipped?

What is the most appropriate webhook to use when a product on an order has been fulfilled?

 

I'm looking at the following as candidates, although perhaps I missed one:

  • orders/fulfilled
  • orders/partially_fulfilled
  • fulfillments/create
  • fulfillments/update
  • fulfillment_events/create

What I will be doing:

  1. Listening for a tracking number to be added to a product. 
  2. I will then be creating an insurance contract with my provider and will be using the tracking number

This should work regardless of whether it's a "partial" fulfillment or "full" fulfillment. If a tracking number is added to a product, I need to know.

 

I don't want to be notified about every single update to an order. I don't want to be notified multiple times for the same product. I don't want to only receive notifications if the entire order is fulfilled.

 

Your help is appreciated - thank you!

This is an accepted solution.

Apparently can't edit my post. Silly.

 

It appears that fulfillments/create is what I wanted.

 

However, be aware to look out for the "status" attribute. I only want to send when the fulfillment is actually complete, which would be a status of "success". I noticed that if we're sending it to a 3PL integration that it will say "pending" when it's just accepted, and eventually will send again (I expect? Unless it sends an update later on ... will see.)
