02The adapter

A Connectify-owned FedEx adapter, not a packaged connector

The platform handles that by keeping the FedEx adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as FedEx Corporation ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Freight LTL + FedEx Custom Critical rate calls and Freight LTL + FedEx Custom Critical rate calls. For electrical supply distributors, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where FedEx usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The friction surface that matters is project take-offs and BOM quoting. The adapter neutralizes that by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the FedEx originating event down to the field that wrote it, and the founder gets a real dashboard instead of spreadsheets. The adapter also ships with Hold-at-location + signature options enforced per profile so the runtime can keep up when electrical supply distributor crews push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Why Electrical Supply Distributors pull FedEx integration the hardest

Electrical Supply Distributors are constantly fighting project take-offs and BOM quoting — and FedEx sits exactly in the middle of that workflow. Connectify pre-maps the FedEx entities the industry actually uses (not the entire vendor catalog) and wires Insurance + declared value rules at shipment time into the lifecycle that matters: serve-to-renew. That is the difference between a connector that lights up a checkbox and an adapter that so the warehouse team stops chasing emails.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The FedEx adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it inside the electrical supply distributor workflow. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working in production to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is this a packaged FedEx connector or a custom build?

    It is a Connectify-owned adapter, not a third-party packaged connector. We maintain the code, we monitor the runtime, and the fields, hooks, and reconciliation rules are shaped to your exact data model — not a generic schema we hope matches.

  2. Does it work with our existing FedEx licenses?

    Yes — the adapter rides on top of your existing FedEx subscription. We use service-principal or OAuth M2M credentials so the integration never burns a named-user seat and never pushes you into a higher tier.

  3. Can the FedEx adapter handle our custom fields?

    On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your FedEx tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.

  4. Do we own the integration code at the end?

    Yes. The Connectify FedEx adapter ships with full source escrow rights — at any point you can request a snapshot of the code, configuration, and runbooks. We prefer you stay on our managed runtime, but you are never locked in.

  5. How is data security handled?

    Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The FedEx adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.

  6. Will this break our existing reports?

    No. The adapter writes through a versioned schema layer with full lineage. Existing reports, BI extracts and Excel pivot-tables keep working unchanged while new fields and new objects are added behind the scenes for the FedEx surface.
