Changelog

We've added a series of new features for developers working with EasyRoutes' APIs to interact with their orders and routes, as well as a dedicated changelog for all API-specific updates. Recent highlights include:

• Vehicles: Any configured vehicle details are now included in API route responses; additional endpoint updates for assigning/un-assigning vehicles from routes, listing configured vehicle profiles, and fetching single vehicle details by ID.
• UpdateRoute Additions: The new UpdateRoute endpoint adds support for adjusting a route's start/end locations and tasks, as well as support for updating route constraints via this endpoint.
• More Update route stop options: Building on the previously announced additions to the Update route stop endpoint, added support for updating imported stop durations (time per stop), order name, delivery date, stop type, and custom signature disclosure. Notably, updating imported stop details via this endpoint enables granular stop updates without requiring a full re-import/overwrite of the stop's underlying data.

‍

Full details on each API update are linked from their respective entries above. For all the latest EasyRoutes API-related updates and improvements as they're published, refer to the EasyRoutes Developer Docs Portal's new dedicated API Changelog.

We've added a new control to the All routes view of Route Groups (accessible via the controls in the upper right-hand corner of any route contained in a group, highlighted below), allowing users to trigger select notifications for all or multiple routes contained within that group:

Click the envelope icon below the route map (highlighted above) and select the type of notification to send: Ready for delivery, Scheduled, and Re-Scheduled notifications are currently supported, depending on which type of notifications have already been sent for this group.

In the confirmation dialog that appears next, users can de-select any checkboxes for routes that should not receive notifications, before clicking the Send to routes button to immediately trigger notifications across selected routes:

We've made a number of updates across EasyRoutes, improving access to key route details and enhancing data exports.

'Last route' column

‍This new column on the EasyRoutes Orders page contains a clickable link with direct access to the last route that any order was added to, where applicable:

The Last route column is enabled by default; to disable it, click the Configure route columns button (highlighted below), and un-select the Last route option from the Customer & Order Details section:

'Yesterday' scheduled route filter

This new option can be applied on the Routes page, and will filter only for routes that were scheduled for the previous calendar date. Apply from the + Add filter menu by selecting the Start date option; enable the Yesterday selector shown below:

For instant access to the previous day's routes on an ongoing basis, we recommend adding this filter type to a saved Route View.

Export improvements

We've added the ability to include route tags in any export of selected routes on the Routes page. When exporting from the Routes page, ensure the Tags option is selected within the Basic information section, as highlighted below:

We've also added an export tool to the EasyRoutes Drivers & Vehicles page. Use the checkboxes to select drivers for export, then click the Export selected button highlighted below; choose whether to copy your exported data to the clipboard or download as a CSV file to complete the export. The same steps can be used to export data from the Vehicles section of the same page:

We've added new options for eSignature proof of delivery, allowing users to display these proof items in customer-facing communications in two new locations:

• Tracking pages: In addition to the existing option to display an eSignature capture's timestamp, users can now optionally display an image of the eSignature, combined with the custom disclosure signature displayed to customers when signing. Enable either/both of these elements from your EasyRoutes Settings > Order Tracking tab, within the Proof of Delivery section highlighted below:

• Email notifications: Signature photos & disclosure text and/or any signature timestamps can also be independently included in customer email notifications. Enable from your EasyRoutes Settings > Customer Notifications tab, within the Notification templates section; click the title of any notification template, access the Edit tab (shown below), and type the @ symbol to access the insert variable menu - select Signature and/or Signed at to include these variables in any customer email notification:

For full details on customizing either of these customer communications, see the support articles for customer notifications and order tracking pages.

We've added a number of new options to EasyRoutes' Update route stop API endpoint, allowing users to specify additional parameters when updating imported stops on an existing route via the API. This endpoint now supports updates to the following:

• The order name, order attributes, contact details, address and coordinates associated with an imported stop on an existing route;
• Stop type (delivery, pickup, or task), delivery date, and driver tasks configured for an imported stop on an existing route;
• The stop time window, stop duration (time per stop) and stop priority associated with an imported stop on an existing route. Note that updates to any of these parameters may reset a route's optimized status and/or adjust subsequent stop ETAs; users can trigger the Reoptimize route endpoint to return any updated route to an optimized state.

For full details on updating imported stops on an existing route via the API, review the Update route stop documentation found in the EasyRoutes Developer Docs Portal.

Version 1.0.98 of the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android devices. This release includes overall performance improvements, as well as adjustments to background location tracking when users have completed any actively tracked routes.

Version 1.0.97 of the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android devices. This release patches an error affecting a small subset of iOS users when attempting to save eSignature proof of delivery captures; users not affected by this error should not experience any other impact when interacting with the app compared to the previous version.

Version 1.0.96 of the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android devices. This release features updates to the app's phone number validation library to support a broader range of Australian area codes, as well as further improvements to app logging behaviour and minor bug fixes. Users should not experience any noticeable impact when interacting with the app compared to the previous version.

Version 1.0.94 of the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android devices. This release features more robust support for logging throughout the mobile app, as well minor bug fixes and performance improvements. Users should not experience any noticeable impact when interacting with the app compared to the previous version.

We've added two new endpoints to interact with your EasyRoutes stops & routes using our native APIs:

• ReorderRouteStop: Moves a stop on a route to a specific 0-based final index in the route's stops list.
• UpdateRouteStop: Updates an imported stop on a route by route ID and stop ID. This endpoint contains initial support for updating stop notes and stop tags via the API, with additional field support scheduled for a future release.

We've also consolidated all API reference materials, resources, and code samples into the new EasyRoutes Developer Docs Portal. All current and future documentation on getting started with the API, authentication protocols, and working with our API endpoints & webhooks can now be found here.

Looking for something else in the API? We're always eager to hear about custom solutions using EasyRoutes' APIs - please get in touch with our team and let us know of any additional API functionality that would be useful to your workflows.

Version 1.0.93 of the EasyRoutes Delivery Driver mobile app is now available to download for iOS and Android devices. This release features support for the previously announced start/end location photo upload requirements, as well minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
