The service plan object is included in the Create and Update Service Plan endpoints and may be included in some webhooks.
About the Service Plan Object
A service plan is a predefined commitment that specifies the type of service you provide to consumers, such as express delivery, basic delivery, or additional services like installation. Service plans help you meet service level agreements (SLAs) by informing the Bringg Platform, dispatchers, and drivers of any special requirements for a specific delivery or customer service, such as requiring a signature or scheduling a specific time for service.
Through Bringg's API, you can create, update, and get service plans.
You can also configure and utilize service plans directly in the Bringg Platform:
- Set up service plans in the Bringg UI
- Automate driver tasks
- Trigger automations
- Assign carriers using the Carrier Selector
- Use delivery terms to filter carriers by service plan
Assigning a Service Plan to an Order
To ensure that the right service plan and associated automations are applied to your order, include service_plan_external_id or service_plan_id in the Create Order (Task) payload.
Ensure proper naming
Use clear and consistent names for service plans, like 'Installation' or 'Express Delivery.' Make sure the names in your API requests exactly match those you’ve created in the UI or via the Create Service Plan endpoint to avoid mismatches.
