Agent → Update Location

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation updates the GPS location of an agent in the Everest Transport Management System (TMS). It is useful for tracking the real-time position of agents, such as delivery personnel or field workers, by providing their latitude and longitude coordinates. For example, a logistics company can use this operation to update the location of a driver during a delivery route.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating an agent's location to reflect their current GPS coordinates during a delivery.
  2. Automatically updating the location of a field agent based on GPS data from a mobile device.

Properties

Name Meaning
Agent ID The ID of the agent to update. If not provided, the authenticated agent's ID will be used.
Latitude The GPS latitude coordinate of the agent's current location.
Longitude The GPS longitude coordinate of the agent's current location.

Output

JSON

  • id - The ID of the agent whose location was updated.
  • lat - The updated latitude coordinate of the agent.
  • lng - The updated longitude coordinate of the agent.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Everest TMS to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • If the Agent ID is not provided and the authenticated agent context is missing, the operation may fail due to lack of identification.
  • Invalid latitude or longitude values may cause the update to fail; ensure coordinates are in valid GPS format.
  • API request failures could occur due to network issues or invalid API credentials; verify connectivity and authentication.
