Keep Outlook and MyParcel updated automatically.
Today someone reads the message, and after that it still has to land somewhere else before anything happens. This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in Outlook lands in MyParcel by itself, in the shape MyParcel expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

Common questions
Can you connect Outlook to MyParcel?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Outlook and MyParcel, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Does MyParcel need a complete address, and what if it is wrong?
MyParcel needs a full delivery address to make a label. If the country and postcode do not match up, that shipment is held and shows in the log, rather than a wrong label coming out.
Can I choose the carrier in MyParcel myself?
Yes. Which carrier and shipping method MyParcel uses you set there; Schakel only hands the shipment over complete.
How are the Outlook fields mapped to MyParcel?
You set once which field from Outlook belongs where in MyParcel. After that every new submission lands in the right place automatically.
What does connecting Outlook and MyParcel cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Outlook sync with MyParcel?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What if someone fills in the Outlook form twice?
Then it checks by email whether the contact already exists, so you do not create a duplicate in MyParcel.
What if Outlook or MyParcel is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
Missing something you need?
Tell us what Outlook and MyParcel should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
