Hi all. I need to be able to programmatically do the following:

I have tried https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-stores-backend/createfulfillment - but nothing seems to happen, I don’t appear to get any errors either. The order remains Unfulfilled and no shipping email is sent.

Is this a constraint of Wix/Velo? Am I using the wrong Velo code for this? This is what I’ve tried so far…

Backend:

import wixStoresBackend from ‘wix-stores-backend’ ;

const fulfillment = {
“lineItems” : [{ “index” : 1 , “quantity” : 1 }],
“trackingInfo” : {
“shippingProvider” : “testshipper” ,
“trackingLink” : “https://www.test.com” ,
“trackingNumber” : “12345”
}
}
export function doSomething ( orderId , buyerId ) {

**return**  wixStoresBackend . createFulfillment ( orderId ,  fulfillment ) 
    . then (( updatedOrder ) => { 
        // Fulfillment created 
        const  fulfillmentId  =  updatedOrder . id 
        const  orderId  =  updatedOrder . order . _id 
        const  fulfillmentStatus  =  updatedOrder . order . fulfillmentStatus 
    }) 
    . catch ( error  => { 
        // Fulfillment not created 
        console . error ( error ) 
    })

}

Frontend:

import { doSomething } from ‘backend/sendfulfillment’

doSomething ( item . orderId , item . buyerID )

Thanks for that. So that means it is not possible to do without SendGrid or other API?

Yes, you can use Velo API to send a shipping confirmation email. Here’s the API doc https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-stores-backend/sendfulfillmentemail
