Geodis Tracking Numbers with Zoom

Geodis Tracking Numbers with Zoom

Overview


When you process shipments with Geodis, Geodis API returns a temporary tracking number starting with JVGT....

This tracking number can not be used to track the parcel, it needs to be converted using the Zoom platform


Setup Zoom platform

To configure Zoom, go in menu Integrations > Manage integrations and click on the "Cron" integration. Then select tab "Configuration".
You must then enter your zoom account settings : 



  1. Warehouse : select the warehouse used to ship Geodis orders
  2. Zoom api user : Your api user
  3. Zoom api key :  Your api key
  4. Tracking prefix : always JVGTS
To get your API details, please follow Geodis instructions :

Récupération de la clé d’API

Votre clé d’api est à générer sur Mon espace https://espace-client.geodis.com ou https://espace-client.france-express.com, onglet « Mes paramètres », section « Clés API ».

Dans cette section, il vous est demandé de saisir de nouveau votre mot de passe d’accès à Mon espace. Dès lors, une section vous sera accessible pour afficher vos clés d’api, avec une clé par type d'API autorisée.

Si vous n’avez pas encore de clé correspondant au type d'API désiré, vous avez un bouton en bout de ligne vous permettant de la générer.

Si vous ne voyez pas de ligne correspondant au type d'API désiré, veuillez contacter votre interlocuteur GEODIS pour demander l'accès à cette API.



Schedule Feed

Once the configuration is done, you must schedule the feed to "transform" JVGT tracking numbers to real tracking numbers.

That can be done from the Cron integration, in the "Feeds" tab (it is recommended to configure this feed to every hours) : 


Then every hours, Boostmyshop will request Zoom server to get the "real" tracking number from the temporary number.


Prevent to send temporary tracking to CMS (Magento1)

In order to not send the temporary tracking number to Magento1, you must add an exception for the JVGT tracking numbers.
Go in menu Integrations > Manage integrations and click on your Magento1 integration.
In the configuration tab, scroll until section "Shipping confirmation" and enter JVGT in the following textbox:





Prevent to send temporary tracking to CMS (Other CMS)

For Magento2 / Prestashop / Shopify, there is no mechanisme to not send the temporary tracking number to the CMS.
The only turnover is to schedule the shipping confirmation feed once a day, during the evening, this way the Zoom API should have returned the real tracking number before.
