Activating SMS with a link to Track & Trace

In this article

The receiver can sign the proof of delivery in Track & Trace. To facilitate this, the driver can send an SMS with a link that leads directly to the order in Track & Trace from Opter Driver. The option to send the link appears when the driver changes the status of the shipment to Korjatud and Kohale toimetatud manually, not when scanning.

If you only change the status by scanning, but still want to send links to Track & Trace, the driver can go back into the shipment again and manually change the status to the one set during the scan. The Allkirja saamiseks saatke SMS option will be then displayed.

Step 1: Setting the Mobile data settings

Two mobile data settings need to be set, SMSSignaturePermission and InternetBaseAddress. Proceed as follows:

  1. Click on Seaded > Mobiilne andmeside > Mobiilse andmeside seaded.

  2. Click on an empty row in the Nimi column.

  3. Enter SMSSignaturePermission, or select it from the list by clicking on the down arrow on the row.

  4. Enter “True” in the Väärtus column.

  5. Click on an empty row in the Nimi column again and then on the down arrow on the row being added.

  6. Select InternetBaseAddress from the list.

  7. Enter “http://<domain name or web IP address>”, for example “http://www.courierservices.com”, in the Väärtus column and then click on Salvesta. The domain name or IP address is the part before “/opter/tt” on your Track & Trace.

Step 2: Show the Sign POD button on Track & Trace

  1. Click on Seaded > Internet > Interneti-tellimuse seaded.

  2. Select configuration from the list on the left, go to the Saadetise jälgimine tab and select T&T kliendi lubamismärk.

  3. Click on Salvesta to save all changes.

As the button is activated as soon as the status of the shipment is set to Korjatud, the receiver can search for the order and sign right then if they know the order number. We therefore recommend deselecting Tellimuse numbri otsing under Otsinguvalikud. Then the receiver cannot go to the order until they have received a link to it.

To hide the order number in the link, Krüpteeritud otsing should also be selected. Otherwise, the recipient can easily figure out other Order numbers and search on them (unless you deselect Tellimuse numbri otsing).

Step 3: Send the SMS from Opter Driver and sign in Track & Trace

The driver can now send an SMS with a link to Track & Trace when they change the status to Korjatud or Kohale toimetatud. For more information, see Sending an SMS with a link to Track & Trace and Signing the proof of delivery in Track & Trace.

When the receiver signs, a POD of the type selected by default is registered in the Veokirja tüüp window. However, the status of the shipment does not change. The reason is that the signing function is displayed in Track & Trace from the Korjatud status, and if the receiver signs in before the goods have been delivered, and the POD type is set to change the status to Kohale toimetatud, the shipment disappears from the driver’s Töös tab even though the goods have not been delivered.
