Expose Alternate Tracking ID and Tracking URL
AnsweredTable name:shipment_shipping_label
Columns to add:
alternate_tracking_idtracking_url
API documentation link:
ShippingLabel | ShipHero GraphQL API
Additional details:
We would like to request that the existing
alternate_tracking_idandtracking_urlfields from the ShipHeroShippingLabelAPI be exposed in the Fivetranshipment_shipping_labeltable.Both fields are already available directly on the ShipHero GraphQL
ShippingLabelobject. The API documentation identifiesalternate_tracking_idas the public API alternate tracking ID associated with the record andtracking_urlas the URL for tracking the shipment.These fields are important for our Monthly Shipping / Shipment Reports:
alternate_tracking_idis required because some shipments may have an alternate tracking identifier in addition to the primary carrier tracking number. This allows us to preserve and report the complete shipment tracking information available in ShipHero.tracking_urlis required so users can directly access the carrier/shipment tracking page from our reporting without having to manually construct a tracking URL based on the carrier and tracking number.Having these fields directly available through Fivetran will allow us to reproduce ShipHero's shipping data more accurately and avoid maintaining custom logic in BigQuery to derive tracking information.
Requested change: Please expose the existing
alternate_tracking_idandtracking_urlfields from the ShipHeroShippingLabelAPI in the corresponding Fivetranshipment_shipping_labeltable.

Hi Vishal,
Thank you for the request to expose the alternate tracking ID and tracking URL fields on the shipment shipping label table. We have added this to our active backlog and confirmed both fields are available on the source data. Could you share more about how you plan to use the tracking URL, for example whether it needs to link directly from a dashboard? We will keep you updated on this thread as we make progress.
Best,
Syead Mujtaba Imam Rizwi
