If you've started using AI platforms for your work, you'll be glad to know that you can now add Shipmondo to your list of automated tasks.
In a time when more and more work is moving into platforms like Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot, gathering all the platforms you use into a single chat, we’ve developed a CLI (Command Line Interface) that bridges Shipmondo and your preferred AI agents.
What is Shipmondo CLI?
Shipmondo CLI is a file you install and work in from your terminal or AI platform. It gives you access to the entire Shipmondo API, so you can retrieve account information, create and find shipments, download labels and set up webhooks without clicking your way through our app.
You can send specific instructions or chat with your agent. That makes the responses easy to read and understand. The CLI is built directly on our API, so it can manage everything you’d normally do through our API.
Why a CLI makes sense
A CLI sounds like a tool for the few who live in the terminal or in the chat of your preferred AI platform. But in a workday full of AI agents, it’s become one of the most natural places to work. And there are three main reasons for that.
- Agents can figure out for themselves which actions exist and which fields they require, without you explaining it in advance.
- They already know the command line, and the language models are trained on enormous amounts of commands, so they often get it right on the first try.
- Commands can be chained together, so a response can be passed straight on to the next step, filtered and used in a larger workflow.
That’s also why you can always ask the CLI what it can do for you, or how to do something manually on the platform yourself.
What you can use Shipmondo CLI for
You can essentially use Shipmondo CLI for everything our API allows. But here’s a small handful of examples of what you can get out of downloading our CLI.
Get an overview of orders and filter
If you receive orders with various notes like “URGENT”, for example, you can ask the agent to give you an overview of orders with the order note “URGENT”. And if you want to make life easier for the warehouse staff who need to pack those shipments first, you can also ask it to create a separate filter in Shipmondo for exactly those shipments.
Upload CSV and Excel files faster
If you create shipments by uploading CSV and Excel files in Shipmondo, you can upload the files faster with Shipmondo CLI too. As long as all the content is present in the file, the CLI can put the logic together itself and upload the file and create the shipment drafts correctly.
Work faster across systems
If you’ve already set up access to your CMS, Google Analytics, Meta ads or other systems in your setup, you can gain faster access to data across them, which can better support your business decisions.
Get labels and invoices as PDF instantly
Many responses from the API contain labels or invoices packaged as PDF. With --open-pdf, they’re automatically extracted and opened, so you don’t have to fiddle with encoded files. A small thing, but it saves time every day.
Getting started
You install the CLI right here:
Start off with the tasks you do most often, and then let the CLI take care of the rest. The more of your shipment management you can write into a script, or hand over to an agent, the more time you free up for what actually moves the business forward.
