Short answer

How do I create and update delivery tasks with my AI?

You send a text command to your AI client, and it executes the corresponding action in Onfleet. You can spin up new orders or change details on existing ones immediately. This setup handles the heavy lifting of data entry and task modification for you.

Where every task lands.

Task management outcomes

Your AI handles the logistics so you can focus on the bigger picture.

NEW TASK

Instant order creation

The AI uses your text to build a new delivery order. It populates the necessary fields in Onfleet so you don't have to type them manually.

MODIFIED

Real-time updates

Change addresses, times, or recipient info on the fly. Your AI updates the existing task details in Onfleet instantly.

REMOVED

Clean up queues

If an order is canceled, tell your AI to remove it. The task is deleted from your Onfleet dashboard immediately.

HUMAN

Manual oversight

The AI handles the data entry, but you still control the logic. You decide which orders to create or which tasks need changing.

The workflow

What your AI does when a command arrives.

The AI translates your plain English instructions into specific Onfleet operations.

  1. Parse the request

    Your AI reads your message to identify if you want to add, change, or remove a delivery.

    create_delivery_task

  2. Execute creation

    When you describe a new delivery, the AI builds the task with the provided destination and contact info.

    create_delivery_task

  3. Modify existing data

    If you mention an existing task, the AI finds it and applies your requested changes to the details.

    update_delivery_task

  4. Remove tasks

    If a delivery is no longer needed, the AI wipes the task from your Onfleet list.

    delete_delivery_task
