Connecting PostNL

Connecting PostNL with Altramano means: the PostNL integration connects Altramano to your business PostNL account through an API key. Labels are created, shipments confirmed and tracked and addresses checked, all in your own environment in Amsterdam and with approval wherever you want it. The integration is there for contract customers of PostNL.

What an AI agent does with PostNL

Creating a label from an order. Now: every order is retyped in Mijn PostNL. With Altramano: a new order from your webshop or mailbox becomes a shipment with a barcode and a label, ready to print. The agent does this with PostNL through API key, in your own environment in Amsterdam. Whatever goes out or gets booked, it puts to you first: you say yes, then it runs. Every run is in Runs.

How you connect it

  1. In Altramano, go to Integrations and choose PostNL.
  2. Connect through API key. Altramano keeps only an access key, encrypted, in your own environment.
  3. Choose a template or describe the task in the Studio. Test it against your real integration.
  4. Say yes before it goes live. After that it runs by itself, with every run there to read back.

Everything runs in your own environment in Amsterdam. You set the limit: what falls within it runs by itself; what falls outside it comes to you first. Every run is there to read back step by step in Runs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect PostNL?

Through an API key from your Mijn PostNL Zakelijk account (Mijn account → API-beheer). The integration is only for contract customers of PostNL: without a business account PostNL does not issue a key. The key is kept encrypted.

Can it show pick-up points and delivery slots too?

Yes. The integration pulls the nearest PostNL points and the delivery slots available at an address, for the checkout of your webshop for instance.

Does it create labels without me seeing it?

Only in steps you set up without approval. By default a shipment is ready and waits for a yes; every run is in Runs.

Is this integration on right away?

Yes. You choose it in your environment under Integrations and connect in a few minutes.

What if PostNL cannot do something through the integration?

Then there is the general HTTP integration, or we extend the integration if the system has an API.

Can I withdraw the integration again?

Yes, in Altramano under Integrations and, where you log in at the service, in PostNL itself too.

Also in webshop and e-commerce
