Dear friends,
I have a need recently. I have developed an app which manages parcel shipping and courier outward records.
Shipping companies like FedEx, DTDC , India post are providing API to get Consignment status like In shipping , Out of Delivery, Delivered etc.
Those companies will be giving Consignment number /docket number etc which is used for tracking.
1. Is it possible to pull details from third-party sites ?
2. Is it chargeable under app sheet plan ?
Current position in my app
1. I have a table called consignments
2. It has column called Consignment number which is used for tracking the consignment .
In simple words .... I am planning to track and get & fed the consignment details to my appsheet app by using automation bot or action instead of doing it from shipper site manually.
Here they have explained how get consignment status from India post.
This is to get serviceable area by pincode : -

I request all colleagues to help me in completing this issue.
I believe you can create a bot to Call a Script which calls the API and also use the response to update the status column.
Without Appscript is not possible?
Is it possible through Web hook ?
Unfortunately I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your question. Let's hope someone else can help you here..

I request you to help me with this.
You can for sure do what you're wanting, but it will require you to make use of scripts that interact with the external APIs.
To get started:
It will be rather technical, with a lot of fiddly bits in the middle to get right; but with Ai it will be MUCH simpler than you're thinking. 🤖🧠💪

I asked Appster what it thought, and it has a pretty good high level overview
