DPD Connect StrawberryGet parcel status in DPD Connect, without opening it
One sentence in, and a companion has been through the DPD Connect parcel statuses, put them where you can read them, and marked the ones it was not sure about.
Open the parcel status. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the DPD Connect afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what DPD Connect exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 1 operation, 1 read and no writes. In practice that means it can get parcel status.
The DPD Connect API stops at DPD Connect. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it get parcel status on its own?
The only operation there is reads.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can get parcel status, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from DPD Connect's documentation.
The parcel statuses are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the parcel statuses. A companion can hold that operation and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of DPD Connect admin becomes a queue you review.
- Get Parcel Status
It can get parcel status. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
DPD Connect exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives DPD Connect in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a parcel status, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a parcel status in DPD Connect touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Can it get parcel status every morning by itself?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the DPD Connect parcel statuses pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of store admin, the DPD Connect parcel statuses sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
