tracezilla API endpoint

POST /send-custom-document-to-connection

To construct the full URL you need:

• The app URL: https://app.tracezilla.com/
• The team ‘slug’ (E.g. example-company)
• The tracezilla Connection Ref. code
• The Custom Template > Reference code
• The ID for the Custom Template Model, e.g. order_id for an Order or lot_id for a Lot

Full URL pattern:

{app_url}/{team_slug}/send-custom-document-to-connection/{connection_ref_code}/{template_ref_code}/{model_id}

Full URL example:

https://app.tracezilla.com/example-company/send-custom-document-to-connection/TESTPRINTER01/ORDER_PDF/33bed810-cc17-4928-97d8-12d1f3a0ff8f

Filename patterns

Filename pattern uses Liquid syntax.

SKIP_FILE

If Filename pattern in Custom Templates > Edit Basic Information returns SKIP_FILE then it will be ignored in Connect.

I.e. it will not be printed, not be emailed and will not show up in tracezilla > Connect > Outbox.

Filename pattern:

SKIP_FILE

Example:

Custom endpoint

A file can be sent to a custom endpoint by prefixing the filename with the endpoint URL followed by a : (colon)

Filename pattern:

{endpoint_url}:{filename}

Replace {endpoint_url} and {filename} including the curly brackets.
