How To Connect

📋 Phase 1: Creating Your Freight Club Source +

Create Source in Flxpoint

Log into your Flxpoint account, navigate to the Sources tab, and click + Add Source to begin.

Set Up Source Details

Enter "Freight Club Supplier" as the source name, select the appropriate source type (e.g., Vendor Warehouse), and choose whether to assign a vendor (recommended for better reporting). Click Save & Next to continue.

Tip: Assigning a vendor improves your reporting capabilities and helps with product organization.

Choose Integration Type

After creating your source, you'll see the Integrations section. If no integrations are set up yet, click Start Creating Integrations. For this guide, we will focus on:

• Get Shipments: Pulls shipment information from Freight Club.

Note: You can activate additional integrations (e.g., Send Orders) later based on your business needs.

🔐 Phase 2: Setting Up Connection +

Obtain Your Freight Club API Token

To connect to Freight Club, you’ll need an API Token. Follow these steps to obtain it:

• Log into your Freight Club account at https://app.freightclub.com using your credentials.
• Navigate to the Settings or Integrations section where API access is managed.
• Look for an option to generate or view your API Token, often labeled as Generate API Token.
• Copy the API Token and store it securely, as you’ll need to enter it in the next step.
• If you can’t find the API Token, contact Freight Club support at support@freightclub.com or visit their support page at https://freightclub.com/support for assistance.

Important: Keep your API Token secure and do not share it publicly, as it provides access to your Freight Club account data.

Configure Connection Details

In the New Freight Club Connection form, enter the details required to connect to Freight Club:

• Connection Name: "Freight Club Connection" (or any descriptive name).
• API Token: Paste the API Token you obtained from Freight Club.

Click Test Connection to verify the connection, then click Save Connection to proceed.

Tip: If the connection test fails, double-check your API Token and ensure your Freight Club account is configured for API access.

🛒 Phase 3: Setting Up Shipment Retrieval +

Configure Get Shipments Integration

For the Get Shipments integration, use the connection you created in Phase 2:

• Get Shipments: Enable to retrieve shipment updates from Freight Club. Map shipment fields (e.g., Tracking Number, Shipment Date) to Flxpoint fields.

Automated Shipment Settings

Configure how shipment data will be retrieved:

• Toggle Automatically Retrieve Shipments ON to have Flxpoint automatically pull shipment updates from Freight Club.
• Set the retrieval frequency (e.g., daily, hourly) based on your needs.

Click Save to apply these settings.

✅ Phase 4: Mapping and Activation +

Create Field Mapping for Shipments

Map Freight Club shipment fields to Flxpoint fields for the Get Shipments integration:

• Choose an existing mapping template or create a new one.
• Map essential fields like Tracking Number, Shipment Date, and Carrier Name.
• Set up any transformations needed (e.g., date format adjustments).

Tip: Ensure all critical shipment fields are mapped to avoid missing tracking information.

Activate and Verify

Complete the setup by clicking Save and Complete. Your Freight Club Get Shipments integration is now active and will run based on your settings.

Next Steps: The initial shipment sync may take some time to complete. You can monitor the progress in the Integrations section of your Flxpoint dashboard under Fulfillment Sources.
