Dispatching

Dispatching can be done a number of ways and is dependent on your contractual agreement with PrintedDirect and/or the Shop.

PrintedDirect provide a production and dispatching system for handling PrintedDirect jobs. If you wish to find out more please email support@printeddirect.com.

Job updates

We require Jobs to be transitioned to the job.dispatched status. This can be done using the Job status API:

Request
PUT /3.0/jobs/{id}/status

{
"status": "job.dispatched"
}

Once all Jobs in a Job Batch has been moved to this status, our system will automatically transition the Job Batch to job_batch.dispatched.

Tracking (managed)

Content to be added.

Tracking (unmanaged dispatching)

To aid PrintedDirect and Shops, we strongly recommend that you provide tracking details. This allows us to help track and debug Jobs without needing to contact the Production House.

This can be done using the Unmanaged Dispatch API:

Request
POST /1.0/delivery/unmanaged-dispatch

{
"job_batch": "3ff412a4-efe0-419c-b2d7-c1ab9a811c49",
"tracking_code": "13500591461259",
"tracking_public_url": "http://www.dpd.co.uk/service/tracking?parcel=13500591461259"
}

If you have multiple tracking codes/urls, then you can send multiple requests and we will store them against the Job Batch.
