The role of the Tai user should be the same you would give to your customer to log into Tai.
Part 1: Share Tai log in credentials for your customer
Owlery needs two things from your Tai account to establish the connection:1
Gather Tai credentials
Collect the following from your Tai account:
- Tai portal username and password — any login for your customer will do.
- API key — the API key associated with that Shipper Customer account in Tai.
2
Send credentials securely
Share both the login credentials and the API key using a secure method (e.g. a password manager share link, encrypted message, or your organization’s preferred secure channel).Email support@owlery.ai to coordinate handoff if you’re unsure how to share them.
3
Wait for confirmation
The Owlery team will configure the connection on their end and let you know when it’s ready. At that point, they’ll run a test tender and load to verify everything works.
Part 2: Set up webhooks in Tai
Webhooks let Tai push real-time updates to Owlery whenever something changes on a load. You’ll need to configure three endpoints in Tai for each shipper.1
Request a webhook API token from Owlery
Email support@owlery.ai and let them know which shipper you need a webhook token for. Owlery will generate a token specific to that shipper and send it back to you.
2
Add the webhook endpoints in Tai
In your Tai portal, navigate to the webhook configuration for the shipper and add the following three endpoints. Use the API token from Step 1 to authenticate each one.Status updatesLoad detailsLocation tracking
3
Verify the connection
Once the webhooks are saved, coordinate with the Owlery team to run a test tender and load. This confirms that status, detail, and location events are flowing correctly.
