Overview

This node interacts with the ShipStation API to process a batch identified by its ID. It sends a POST request to the ShipStation API endpoint for processing batches, triggering the processing of the specified batch. This operation is useful in scenarios where users manage shipping batches and need to programmatically initiate batch processing within their workflow automation.

Use Case Examples

1. A user has created a batch of shipments and wants to process it automatically after creation.
2. A workflow triggers batch processing based on certain conditions, such as inventory updates or order status changes.

Properties

Output

JSON

• data - The response data from the ShipStation API after processing the batch.
• statusCode - The HTTP status code returned by the ShipStation API.

Dependencies

• ShipStation API service for making authenticated API requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include providing an invalid or non-existent batch ID, which will cause the API to return an error.
• Network or authentication errors when connecting to the ShipStation API can cause failures; ensure valid API credentials are configured.
• If the API returns an error, the node throws an error with details; enabling 'Continue On Fail' allows the workflow to proceed with error information in the output.
