Webhook Integration (Real-Time Events)

What are Webhooks? Real-time event notifications sent to your backend whenever something happens (trip accepted, POD submitted, rating changed).

Use Case: Your backend receives trip acceptance → automatically updates inventory → notifies customer. Zero manual work.

Supported Events:

  • trip_accepted
  • trip_pickup_completed
  • trip_dropoff_completed
  • trip_cancelled
  • pod_submitted
  • damage_reported
  • rating_updated
  • payout_processed

Setup (3 Steps):

  1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Webhooks
  2. Add your endpoint URL (e.g., webhook.yourdomain.com/handler)
  3. Select events. Done! You'll receive POST requests with event data.

Technology FAQs

Do I need to be tech-savvy to use ShiftingApp?

No. The app is designed for non-technical users. If you can use WhatsApp and Google Maps, you can use ShiftingApp. APIs are only for developers/fleet operators who want custom integrations.

Does the app work offline?

Partially. You can view accepted trips offline. But you cannot accept new trips or submit POD without internet. For areas with poor coverage, the app buffers data and syncs when connection returns.

How much data does the app use?

~50 MB/day for average operations. 4G data plan (2GB/month) is plenty. Maps use more data; avoid 4K photo uploads. Use WiFi occasionally to sync photo backups.

Can I integrate ShiftingApp with my ERP system?

Yes! Use our REST APIs or Webhook integration. Your developer can integrate in 1-2 days. Example: Accept trip → Event sent → Your ERP updates inventory. We provide API documentation & sandbox environment for testing.

What happens if I lose my phone?

Your account is safe. We use email-based verification. You can log into any new phone, and all your data syncs. Enable 2FA for extra security. If phone lost, disable 2FA temporarily from dashboard to regain access.

How is my sensitive data kept confidential?

Regular security audits, encryption at rest & in transit, limited employee access (only for support), user data deletion requests honored within 30 days, GDPR & privacy law compliance. We take data security seriously.
