Address Validation Workflow

About

This workflow automates the process of validating and correcting client shipping addresses in Billbee, ensuring accurate delivery information. It's ideal for e-commerce businesses looking to save time and reduce errors in their order fulfillment process. The workflow uses Billbee, an order management platform for small to medium-sized online retailers, and the Endereco API for address validation.

Who Is This For?

  • E-Commerce Businesses: Streamline order fulfillment by automatically correcting common shipping address errors.
  • Warehouse Teams: Reduce manual work and ensure packages are shipped to the correct address.
  • Small to Medium-Sized Retailers: Businesses using Billbee to manage orders and requiring efficient, automated solutions for address validation.

How it Works

  1. Trigger: Workflow starts via a Billbee Webhook when an order is imported.
  2. Fetch Data: Retrieve the client's shipping address using the Order ID.
  3. Validate Address: Send the address to the Endereco API for validation and correction (e.g., house number errors).
  4. Conditional Actions:
    • Valid Address: Update the address in Billbee.
    • Invalid Address: Tag the order with "Validation Error."
  5. Track Status: Add tags in Billbee for processed orders.

Setup Steps

  1. API Keys: Obtain Billbee Developer/User API Keys and Endereco API Key.
  2. Billbee Rule: Create an automation rule:
    • Trigger: Order imported.
    • Action: Call External URL with OrderId to trigger n8n workflow.
  3. Optional: Use a secondary trigger (e.g., order state changes to "gepackt") for manual corrections.

Customization Options

  1. Filter Delivery Addresses:

    • Customize filters to exclude specific delivery types, such as pickup shops ("Postfiliale," "Paketshop," or "Packstation").
    • Filters can be adjusted within Billbee or in the workflow.

  2. Error Handling:

    • Configure additional actions for orders that fail validation, such as notifying your team or flagging orders for manual review.

  3. Order Tags:

    • Define custom tags in Billbee to better track order statuses (e.g., "Address Corrected," "Validation Error").

  4. Trigger Types:

    • Use additional triggers such as changes to order states (e.g., "gepackt" or "In Fulfillment") for manual corrections or validations.

  5. Address Fields:

    • Modify the workflow to focus on specific address components, such as postal codes, city names, or country codes.

  6. Validation Rules:

    • Adjust Endereco API settings or add custom logic to refine validation criteria based on your business needs.
