Look things up. Nothing changes.

  • Get shipping rates

    Creates a shipment from a sender and recipient address and one parcel (inches and ounces, or a carrier's predefined package) and returns the rates of every connected carrier account.

  • Get a shipment

    Reads a shipment by ID (shp_…): addresses, parcel, rates, selected_rate (once bought), tracking_code, postage_label (label_url, label_pdf_url, label_zpl_url), tracker.

  • Get a label in another format

    Makes a bought label available as PDF, ZPL or EPL2 (labels are PNG at first).

  • List shipments

    Lists shipments, newest first: bought ones by default, or quotes too, by creation time.

  • Get a tracker

    Reads a tracker by ID (trk_…) for the latest status, status_detail, est_delivery_date, public_url and tracking_details.

  • Verify an address

    Checks that an address can be delivered to and corrects it.

  • List carrier accounts

    Lists the carrier accounts connected to EasyPost.

Create, change or send.

  • Buy a label

    Buys the label for one of a shipment's rates, charging the postage to the account (free with a test key), with optional insurance in US dollars.

  • Refund a labelDeletes data

    Asks the carrier for the postage of an unused label back (the label stops working).

  • Track a parcel

    Starts tracking a parcel by tracking number (and carrier, like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHLExpress, or left out to guess), and returns its status now.

A person can approve first

Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything. Actions that delete data ask first by default.

Ideas

Ideas to start with

Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.

  • 01

    Ask about your EasyPost data

    Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get shipping rates, get a shipment or get a label in another format in EasyPost, then answers with what it found.

  • 02

    Let an agent update EasyPost

    Have the agent buy a label or track a parcel in EasyPost as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.

  • 03

    Share what it finds in Slack

    Give one agent EasyPost and Slack: it can get shipping rates in EasyPost and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
