API Configuration

Overview

Some Customers use an Application Programming Interface (API) to create and schedule shipments. An API is a connection between computers or computer programs that enables them to communicate with each other to exchange data, features, and functionality. Customers can have their internal systems connected to Optimiz through an API, so they can schedule shipments and receive status updates for their shipments. API settings can be configured in the Customer Hierarchy in Optimiz. Click a task in the top or side menus to view the details about that task.

Process

1. Open a Customer entity in the Custom Hierarchy. See Access the Customer Hierarchy.
2. Click the Wrench icon at the Customer level of the hierarchy.
3. Click API Configuration Setting.

Result

The API Configuration Settings window opens.
