Trackstar provides a component to allow your customers to easily and securely connect to any WMS. This component can be embedded into your application, or sent as a “Magic Link” to your customers. Trackstar Link There are two ways to set up Trackstar Link:
  1. Embedding the component: You can embed the Trackstar Link component into your application. This is the recommended way to use Trackstar Link, as it provides a seamless experience for your customers.
  2. Sending a Magic Link: You can send a Magic Link to your customers. This is useful if you don’t have a web application, or if you want to provide a quick way for your customers to connect to a WMS.

​
Embedding the Component

We have published an NPM package to make it easy to embed the Trackstar Link component into your application. React 
  yarn add @trackstar/react-trackstar-link
Angular 
  yarn add @trackstar/angular-trackstar-link
Vanilla JS 
See example below
Once you have installed the package, you can use the TrackstarLink component in your application. If you are using vanilla Javascript, you can still use the Trackstar Link component by loading the script in your HTML file: 
import { TrackstarConnectButton } from '@trackstar/react-trackstar-link';

function App() {

  const someCustomerId = "12345";
  return (
    <TrackstarConnectButton
      getLinkToken={async () => {
        // See step 2.1 in How To Guides -> Getting Started
        const response = await fetch('https://my-company.backend.com/get-link-token',
          {
            method: 'POST',
          }
        );
        const { linkToken } = await response.json();
        return linkToken;
      }}
      onSuccess={async (authCode, integrationName) =>
        // See step 2.2 in How To Guides -> Getting Started
        await fetch('https://my-company.backend.com/store-token',
          {
            method: 'POST',
            body: JSON.stringify({
              customer_id: someCustomerId,
              auth_code: authCode,
              integration_name: integrationName,
            }),
          }
        )
      }
      onClose={() => console.log('closed')}
      onLoad={() => console.log('loaded')}
    >
      Connect your WMS
    </TrackstarConnectButton>
  );
}

​
Multiple Trackstar Buttons

Instead of using a single TrackstarConnectButton that opens a modal with a list of integrations, you can use multiple TrackstarConnectButton components to connect to specific integrations directly.
  1. Set the integrationAllowList prop to an array of a single integration ID. This will bypass the integration selection screen.
  2. Set the buttonId prop to a unique ID. This is required if you have multiple Trackstar Connect buttons on the same page.
For example, the following code will create three buttons that connect to Shiphero, Shipbob, and Deposco respectively: 
import { TrackstarConnectButton } from '@trackstar/react-trackstar-link';

function App() {

  const someCustomerId
  const integrations = ['shiphero', 'shipbob', 'deposco'];

  return (
    <div>
      {integrations.map((integration) => (
        <TrackstarConnectButton
          //...otherProps
          integrationAllowList={[integration]}
          buttonId={integration}
        >
          Connect to {integration}
        </TrackstarConnectButton>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

  • Integration Block List (Optional): Do not show the integrations that are in the block list.
