Injecting Orders Into DeliverLogic Using A Google Sheet For A Single Vendor
In this scenario you can utilize Google Sheets in order to push information to DeliverLogic API to create new orders.
IMPORTANT - This method is for a SINGLE VENDOR only and if you would like to set up multiple restaurants this way it’s important to create a new Google Sheet as well as a completely new Zap each time.
Injecting Orders Into DeliverLogic Using A Google Sheet For A Single Vendor
Setup a Google Sheet
You can do this by going to http://sheets.google.com and selecting a new “Blank” spreadsheet
Name your spreadsheet something clear such as “Joes Pharmacy - 124 Main St Pickup Requests”
Add columns for each piece of data you want to collect from the vendor
We highly suggest including the following fields in your form:
Customer First Name
Customer Last Name
Customer Phone Number
Dropoff Address
Once your sheet is completely set up, please test it out yourself with real/accurate data so that you will be able to test the “Zap” once it’s set up.
Set up a “Zap” in Zapier
Now that your sheet is complete, head over to http://zapier.com to set up your “Zap”
If you already have an account, log in. If not, please set up a new account.
Once logged in, click “create zap”
Be sure to name the “Zap” in the top left by editing where it says “Untitled Zap” and giving it a name that will make it easy for you to find later
You will create a simple two-step zap - you’ll receive data from the Google Sheet (the trigger) and this will inject an order into DeliverLogic (the action)
Set up the trigger
Search for Google Sheets.
Once selected you should be able to select the “Event” which should be “New Spreadsheet Row” - then click “Continue”
Next, you must choose an account if you have already connected one, or click “Connect a new account”. Once selected or connected click “Continue”
Search for and select the “Spreadsheet” you created in the above step
Then select the “Worksheet” this is often just called Sheet1 unless you rename it. Then click Continue.
This should prompt you to “Test your trigger” - click “Test Trigger” this should pull in your recent submission from the previous step, if this works - click “Continue”. If not, try filling out the fields and testing it again.
Set up the action
Search for DeliverLogic
Once selected you can select the “Event” - “Create Order” then click “Continue”
Next, you must choose an account if you have already connected one, or click “Connect a new account”. Once selected or connected click “Continue”
You will now be able to set up the action!
Select the location that this form will be used to inject orders into from the “Delivery Location ID” drop-down
Then you can proceed to select the necessary fields and insert data into them. For example, if you put your cursor in the Dropoff info “Address” box you should see a drop-down that allows you to insert data from the google sheet. Select the dropoff address field from your sheet and it will inject into this box.
Next, do this for the other boxes, a reminder that for this use case we suggest at least the following:
Customer First Name
Customer Last Name
Dropoff Address
Customer Phone Number
Next, you will want to manually apply data into the following fields by putting your cursor in them and typing the data directly into the box (this will remain the same data for every order - this is why you do not need to collect it for each row):
Pickup Address - this will be the vendor's address (required)
Pickup Name - this will be the vendor's name (suggested)

Once you have handled the rest of the fields that you want to inject you should be ready to click “Continue” and then Test the action. If all looks good to you then press the test action button. If everything is properly set up you should receive an order on your DeliverLogic dispatch screen.
