Generic Document Import

Webhook for importing documents and attaching them to existing orders in Qargo.

How it works

  1. An external system sends a file to this endpoint with metadata as query parameters.
  2. The system matches the document to an order in Qargo using the provided query parameters.
  3. The document is created and attached to the matched order.

Query parameters

The filename parameter is always required. Additional query parameters are configurable per integration during setup and are used to pass metadata about the file and to match the document to an order.

Query parameters can carry two types of information:

File metadata

Information about the document itself, for example:

  • filename (required) — Name of the uploaded file including extension
  • document_type — The type of document, see the Document types section below
  • document_name — Display name for the document in Qargo

Matching to Qargo orders

Information used to resolve which order the document should be attached to. The following order fields can be matched against:

  • customer_reference_number — The customer reference number on the order
  • name — The order name (e.g. OR-12345)
  • id — The order UUID

The match must resolve to exactly one order. If no order or multiple orders match, the import will be discarded.

The actual set of query parameters and how they map to the above is configured per integration.

Document types

The document_type parameter must be one of the following values:
