Integrate SiteTrax.io Data into Chain.io
Integrating SiteTrax.io data into Chain.io enables real-time tracking and visibility of assets, streamlining your supply chain operations. Follow these step-by-step instructions to push data from SiteTrax.io into Chain.io:
Step 1: Contact Your SiteTrax.io Representative
Reach out to your SiteTrax.io representative to request the necessary API credentials and configuration details. This includes the API endpoint where SiteTrax.io will push asset data to Chain.io.
Step 2: Set Up Chain.io Integration
Log into your Chain.io account and set up a new integration to receive data from SiteTrax.io. In Chain.io, you'll create a new "connection" for the SiteTrax.io platform.
- Go to the Connections tab in Chain.io.
- Click Add New Connection.
- Select Custom API or Webhooks (depending on your preferred method for receiving data).
- Enter the provided SiteTrax.io API endpoint details.
Step 3: Map SiteTrax.io Data Fields
Once the connection is established, map the relevant SiteTrax.io data fields to their corresponding fields in Chain.io. These fields typically include:
- Asset ID: Unique identifier for the asset (e.g., container, trailer).
- GPS Coordinates: Latitude and longitude data for asset location.
- Timestamp: The time when the asset data was captured.
- Other Metadata: Any additional fields such as status or yard position.
Chain.io will use this mapping to understand how to process the incoming SiteTrax.io data.
Step 4: Test the Connection
Before pushing data live, it's important to test the connection:
- From the SiteTrax.io backend, push a test dataset to the Chain.io API endpoint.
- In Chain.io, verify that the data was received correctly and that the fields are mapped properly.
Make any necessary adjustments to the data mapping based on the results of the test.
Step 5: Activate the Integration
Once the test is successful and the data mapping is confirmed, activate the integration in both SiteTrax.io and Chain.io. SiteTrax.io will start pushing real-time asset data to Chain.io based on the defined schedules or triggers.
Step 6: Monitor and Maintain the Integration
After the integration is live, monitor the data flow in Chain.io to ensure smooth operations. Chain.io provides dashboards and logging tools to help you keep track of any issues or disruptions in data flow. If any updates or changes are required, you can adjust the settings in either platform.
With this integration in place, SiteTrax.io data will seamlessly flow into Chain.io, providing real-time updates on asset tracking and supply chain management, enabling more efficient operations and better decision-making. If any issues arise during the setup or you need further assistance, contact your SiteTrax.io or Chain.io support team.
