EasyPost Tracking Link Functionality

The EasyPost Tracking Link Functionality enhancement improves the way tracking links are handled in Odoo when using EasyPost for shipping. It provides precise tracking per package for multi-package deliveries, ensuring a better shipping experience and clearer communication with customers.

Key Features

Support for Multiple Packages: Automatically handles multiple tracking codes from a single picking.

Environment-Specific API Keys: Dynamically selects the correct EasyPost API key (test or production) based on the environment.

Accurate Tracking Links: Fetches real-time tracking links from EasyPost for each individual package.

Smart Return Format:

• Returns a single tracking link if only one package is shipped.
• Returns a JSON list of links if multiple packages are involved.

How It Works

   • The system checks if multiple tracking codes exist (delimited by +).
   • For each code, it calls EasyPost’s API using the EasypostRequest class.
   • It returns a list of accurate tracking links.
2. Environment-aware configuration:
   • Automatically detects and applies the test or live API key based on the deployment environment.

Benefits

Package-Level Tracking: Greatly improves tracking for shipments with multiple parcels.
