Description

Shipbob offers an end to end fulfillment services for Ecommerce vendors.

Use the Shipbob component to manage orders, shipments, labels, and more.

Connections

ShipBob Personal Access Token

key: apiToken

If you're building a single-user custom integration, you can use the Personal Access Token (PAT) method. This generates a ready-to-use bearer-type token with full access to the merchant's account.

You can generate credentials from the ShipBob dashboard.

For Production Environment, click here. For Sandbox Environment, click here.

When you request your first PAT, ShipBob automatically generates an application (called "SMA" or single-merchant application) and channel to house all your future PATs. You can request as many as you like, and revoke them at any time.

NOTE: These tokens do not expire, so be extremely cautious when sharing them.

Your PAT should automatically have read and write access to the entire ShipBob account.

To use your PAT, just provide the token as an Authorization header formatted like this:

bearer [your_api_token]

First you should use your PAT to hit the GET Channel endpoint, so you can use your channel ID in the headers of subsequent API calls. Your response will look like this:

Triggers

Webhook

Receive and validate webhook requests from ShipBob for webhooks you configure. | key: webhook


Event Topic Subscription

Get notified when a specific event occurs | key: eventTopicSubscription

InputNotesExample
Connection

The ShipBob connection to use.

Overwrite Webhook Settings

When true, deletes existing webhook settings pointing to this flow's URL and creates new ones

false
Topics to Subscribe

List of webhook topics to subscribe to

["order_shipped", "order_cancelled"]
Version

The version of the ShipBob API to use

1.0

ShipBob can send webhook notifications when specific events occur, such as when an order is shipped or a shipment is delivered. This trigger automatically manages webhook subscriptions in ShipBob based on the selected event topics.

For more details on available webhook topics, refer to the ShipBob Webhooks documentation.

How It Works

This trigger automatically manages webhook subscriptions throughout the instance lifecycle. Unlike manual webhook setups, the entire lifecycle is handled automatically.

  • On Instance Deploy: The trigger creates webhook subscriptions in ShipBob for each selected topic, pointing to the flow's unique webhook URL. If subscriptions for the same URL already exist and Overwrite Webhook Settings is enabled, the existing subscriptions are deleted and recreated. If existing subscriptions are found and overwrite is disabled, deployment fails with an error.
  • On Instance Deletion: The trigger removes all webhook subscriptions in ShipBob that point to the flow's webhook URL.

Configuration

Configure the following inputs:

  • Connection: The ShipBob connection to use for API authentication.
  • Version: The ShipBob API version (default: 1.0).
  • Topics to Subscribe: Select one or more event topics to receive notifications for. Each topic creates a separate webhook subscription. Duplicate topics are not allowed.
  • Overwrite Webhook Settings: When enabled, deletes existing webhook subscriptions pointing to the flow's URL and creates new ones. When disabled (default), deployment fails if subscriptions already exist for the flow's URL.

Event Types

Available Topics (5)
TopicDescription
order_shippedFires when an order has been shipped
shipment_deliveredFires when a shipment has been delivered
shipment_exceptionFires when a shipment encounters an exception
shipment_onholdFires when a shipment is placed on hold
shipment_cancelledFires when a shipment is cancelled

Refer to the ShipBob Webhooks documentation for the complete and up-to-date list of available topics.

Returned Data

The trigger validates incoming webhook requests by checking for the shipbob-subscription-id and shipbob-topic headers. These headers are included in the response along with the parsed JSON payload.

Example Payload
{
"headers": {
"shipbob-subscription-id": "12345",
"shipbob-topic": "order_shipped"
},
"body": {
"id": 67890,
"order_id": 11111,
"tracking_number": "1Z999AA10123456784",
"carrier": "UPS",
"shipped_date": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}
}

Notes

  • Each selected topic creates a separate webhook subscription in ShipBob. Selecting multiple topics results in multiple subscriptions, all pointing to the same flow URL.
  • Duplicate topics in the subscription list are not allowed and will cause deployment to fail.
  • The trigger validates that incoming requests contain valid ShipBob headers (shipbob-subscription-id and shipbob-topic) before processing.
