Boosted Automation Possibilities
Delta REST API
- Jobs from Orders: Submit jobs via the Trickle REST API using a simple text-based format (tab-separated, exported from ERP/MIS/CRM). This format supports all job details and allows for complete job presets, making complex job automation easy without development skills.
- Job Status Subscription: Subscribe to job status updates with the new subscribe-job-status endpoint. Receive updates directly to your specified endpoint URL. Unsubscribe anytime or let subscriptions auto-terminate when jobs are done.
- Data Base Folder Endpoints: Set and retrieve local folder paths with new endpoints. Use these folders as local image stores in DeltaXML jobs and DripTasks.
- Data Base Folder: Use the !USEBASEFOLDER! variable for relative image data paths. The REST API converts these to absolute paths, simplifying job submissions.
- Service Management: Manage the auto-start of the Trickle REST service through the ControlCenter. The service shuts down gracefully when the RIP is closed.
- Job Queue Management: Reposition jobs in a queue with the move-up-job-position-in-queue endpoint.
- Windows Tray Icon: A new tray icon indicates when the Trickle REST service is running, replacing the console window.
- Swagger Documentation: Access Swagger documentation directly from the Trickle REST API tray icon context menu.
