Postback - Email (Legacy Option)
Postback can also be provided via Email if you don’t have an infrastructure to support an FTP / SFTP server.
Whilst Email is supported for transmitting postback reports, we don’t recommend configuring postback to be sent directly to a personal e-mail address. Postback reports are only to be consumed by your ERP / WMS to synchronise integrated systems.
Postback is best for:
Your ERP to reconcile the consigned orders through the OneFlo Order Lookup - Import Orders Integration
Your ERP to reconcile the consignments generated by your 3PL’s WMS system through OneFlo’s Import Completed Consignment Integration
Why is email not a good option?
Emails are discouraged for a number of reasons:
Our system won’t be able validate the receipt on your end because Email is an asynchronous method of communication.
Email can be fuzzy and can experience outages and delays.
If I want to receive a report of my consignments on a regular basis, what can I use?
Reporting is easy with OneFlo!
OneFlo has a Reporting - Business Intelligence feature that allows you to view your consignments on-demand, without waiting for a report to be generated on a scheduled basis.
If you need this Business Intelligence feature and you don’t have it on your OneFlo account, please speak with your Account Manager.
