Overview

With access to the open DeliverLogic API, you are now able to inject orders into the software that originate directly from your restaurant or retail partners. These orders can then be dispatched, executed, and tracked inside of the DeliverLogic software so that you can easily fulfill orders from all types of different sources in one single super-powered platform. Below we will go into some basic use cases and then we’ll dive deeper into how each one can be set up.

Anytime you inject an APIX or OLO Dispatch order through our API, we will create a
“Active Vendor Pickup Location” restaurant profile IF there’s not one already in place for that specific address. We do this in order to properly process the order regardless of if there’s a restaurant with that same address/name already in your system and you service it normally.

What is parsing? Watch video

Email parsing is a technique used to extract specific data from an email message and convert it into a format that can be more easily used or processed by other software. For example, an email message might contain an order confirmation with information such as the customer's name, address, and purchase items. Parsing this email would extract that information and convert it into a format that can be used to update a database or trigger an action in another system, such as creating a new customer record or updating an inventory system.

Zapier is a platform that allows you to automate tasks between different web services, including email parsing. To use email parsing with Zapier, you first need to set up a trigger in your email service (such as Gmail) to send an email to a specific address whenever a new email arrives in your inbox that meets certain criteria. Then, you can set up a "zap" in Zapier that listens for incoming emails at that address and uses the Parser by Zapier app to extract the data from the email. Finally, you can use that extracted data to perform an action in another app, such as creating a new record in a spreadsheet or adding a new contact to your CRM.

Zapier provide a lot of apps to connect, then the parsed data can be transported in those apps, depending on the goal of your automation.

What is a webhook? Should I use a webhook url?

They're a simple way your online accounts can "speak" to each other and get notified automatically when something new happens. In many cases, you'll need to know how to use webhooks if you want to automatically push data from one app to another.
