Sameday
LogisticsConnect AI agents to Sameday, a Romanian courier with an EasyBox locker network. Agents estimate shipping costs, create and track AWBs, look up lockers and cities, and download printable labels so Romanian parcel dispatch runs hands free.
What This Integration Enables
Sameday built a locker network and then built a courier business around it, and this connector reflects that order of events. Get Lockers lists the EasyBox lockers available for locker to door and door to locker shipments, each with an ID and address that becomes the last mile destination on a locker AWB. Get Services lists the delivery services actually enabled on your account, which in practice means options like next day, same day, and the locker services, each with the numeric ID that Create AWB and Estimate Shipping Cost require. A Romanian shop deciding between a doorstep and a locker is making a real choice about cost, delivery certainty, and what the customer prefers, and both sides of it are reachable from one flow.
Underneath that, the connector is careful about Romanian geography for a good reason. Get Counties looks up counties by name and returns their numeric IDs, and Get Cities looks up localities within a county by name or postal code and returns theirs. Sameday addresses shipments by those IDs, not by strings, so the resolution step is not a convenience layer. It is the address. Get Pickup Points lists the pickup points configured on the account with their contact persons, and both the pickup point ID and the contact person ID are required when creating an AWB, which keeps the sender side firmly defined.
The shipping loop itself is short and complete. Estimate Shipping Cost returns amount, currency, and delivery time for a shipment without creating one. Create AWB creates the waybill and returns the AWB number and cost, with support for cash on delivery, insured value, and multiple parcels on one shipment. Track AWB returns the full status history with each scan event, its status, timestamp, and location, plus a delivery summary. Delete AWB voids a shipment that has not yet entered the delivery flow. Download AWB PDF writes the printable label into FlowRunner file storage and returns a URL, in A4 for a page or A6 for a thermal printer. There are no triggers, so status arrives by polling Track AWB on a schedule and dispatch starts from an order event elsewhere.

Use Case Scenarios
Order to AWB with the address resolved rather than assumed
An order is paid in WooCommerce or Magento. The agent takes the county text from the order and calls Get Counties, then calls Get Cities within that county filtered by the town name or the postal code. Where exactly one city comes back, it has a geolocation ID it can trust. It then calls Estimate Shipping Cost to get the amount and the delivery time, creates the shipment with Create AWB against the configured pickup point and contact person, and calls Download AWB PDF for an A6 label into FlowRunner file storage. The AWB number and the estimated delivery time go back onto the order, so customer service and the customer see the same two facts.
Locker delivery that the customer actually uses
For orders where locker delivery was chosen, the agent calls Get Lockers and offers the customer nearby EasyBox locations over WhatsApp or in the storefront. The chosen locker becomes the last mile on an AWB created against the locker service ID from Get Services. Once Track AWB reports the parcel is in the locker, the flow sends the collection notice and starts a quiet countdown, because a parcel left in a locker eventually returns and the return leg costs more than the reminder. A second nudge goes out before the window closes. None of this needs a person unless the parcel is still sitting there at the end, and then it should reach one.
Cost known before the shipment, not after the invoice
Estimate Shipping Cost prices a shipment without creating it, which makes it useful well before dispatch. The agent runs it at order confirmation for the actual parcel and destination, writes the projected cost into the order record, and logs it to Google Sheets alongside the shipping fee that was charged to the customer. Over a month that becomes a straightforward read on which destinations, weights, and services are being shipped below cost, which is a pricing conversation rather than a logistics one. Orders where the estimate exceeds the collected shipping fee by more than a threshold become an automation exception in Slack before they ship, not after.
Human-in-Loop Highlight
The gate on Sameday is address resolution, and it exists because of a specific and quiet failure mode. Recipient county and city are numeric geolocation IDs, not text. The agent turns a customer's typed town into one of those IDs by calling Get Counties and Get Cities. Romanian locality names repeat across the country, and the same commune name appears in several counties, which is precisely why the API makes you resolve county first. When the lookup returns more than one plausible match and a flow silently takes the first, the result is not an error. It is a valid AWB, a correctly printed label, a real barcode, and a parcel routed to a town several hundred kilometers from the customer. Nothing in the response says anything is wrong.
The recovery window is short and known. Delete AWB only works on a shipment that has not yet entered the delivery flow, so the correction is available between label creation and the courier scan, which on a busy dispatch day is under an hour. That is why the pause belongs before Create AWB rather than after it. The agent resolves what it can and stops on what it cannot: "Order 6031, recipient wrote Bucov. Get Cities returns two matches: Bucov in Prahova and Bucov in Timis. Postal code on the order is blank. Which locality should I address the AWB to?" The person answering can look at the street name, the phone prefix, or simply ask the customer, all of which are outside the API and none of which take long.
That is human-in-the-loop placed on ambiguity rather than on risk appetite, which is the right shape whenever a connector requires an identifier and the source data offers a name. The agent is not asking permission to ship. It is asking the one question it cannot answer, and shipping everything else on its own. Two other boundaries here are worth handling in code rather than in a message. Create AWB supports cash on delivery and insured value, so the collection figure should be derived from the order total rather than from a separately maintained field. And Create AWB and Estimate Shipping Cost both require a pickup point and contact person ID, so an operation running several warehouses should resolve those from Get Pickup Points per shipment instead of pinning one.
Agent Capabilities
10 actionsServices and Pickup Points
2- Get Services Lists the delivery services enabled on your Sameday account, for example next day, same day, and the locker services, each with the numeric ID that Create AWB and Estimate Shipping Cost need. Results are paginated. The read that tells a flow what it is actually allowed to book.
- Get Pickup Points Lists the pickup points configured on the account along with each point's contact persons. Both the pickup point ID and the contact person ID are required when creating an AWB, which makes this the sender side of every shipment.
Geography
3- Get Counties Looks up Romanian counties by name and returns each county's numeric ID, which Get Cities and the shipment recipient both need. Leave the name empty to list them all.
- Get Cities Looks up localities within a county and returns each city's numeric ID, filtered by county ID, name, or postal code. This is where an ambiguous town name should be caught, because the ID is what actually addresses the parcel.
- Get Lockers Lists the Sameday EasyBox lockers available for locker to door and door to locker shipments, each with an ID and address usable as the last mile destination on a locker AWB.
Pricing
1- Estimate Shipping Cost Estimates delivery cost and time for a shipment without creating an AWB, taking the pickup point, service, package details, and recipient location. Returns amount, currency, and delivery time. Free to call, which makes it the right thing to run before every commitment and useful for margin analysis long before dispatch.
Shipments
4- Create AWB Creates the AWB for a new shipment and returns the AWB number and cost. Requires a pickup point, delivery service, package details, and full recipient information, and supports cash on delivery, insured value, and multiple parcels. The point at which a parcel becomes real.
- Track AWB Retrieves the full status history of an AWB by tracking number, with each scan event's status, timestamp, and location plus a delivery summary. The source for proactive customer updates and for noticing a parcel that has stalled.
- Delete AWB Cancels and deletes an AWB by tracking number. Only shipments that have not yet entered the delivery flow can be deleted, so this is a short window rather than a general undo.
- Download AWB PDF Downloads the printable AWB label as a PDF into FlowRunner file storage and returns a URL. A4 for a standard page, A6 for a thermal label printer.
