Description

  • stop.allocated: When a stop is allocated to a driver. This is triggered when a dispatcher sends the routes to the drivers. The data field is a Stop
  • stop.out_for_delivery: When a package for a stop starts making its way to the recipient. This is triggered when the driver start their route. The data field is a Stop
  • stop.attempted_delivery: When the delivery state of the package for a stop is changed. This is triggered when the driver attempts a delivery, if successful or not. The data field is a Stop
  • test.send_event: Event sent when the user triggers a webhook test. The data field is a Test
note

For the stop.allocated and stop.out_for_delivery types there will be one independent event sent per each stop.

note

Circuit will not send more than one event per request, so only the data related to the type field will ever be present in a request.
