Chaine Standard Fields

A list of the standard fields required for a load in Chaine to use the Copilot functionality. The best way to integrate is to just provide an export of the entire load object in your TMS's format to our webhook anytime there is a change to the load object in your TMS. We will then do a mapping of the fields to our standard fields during the implementation.

Please note that you don't have to follow the eact structure below. You can have your own structure and just hit our exports api endpoint to export the load to Chaine. We will do a mapping of the fields to our standard fields during the implementation.
