Notifications User-Guide

(lightbulb) Notifications provide users with access to automated updates when events occur against containers.

Note

Paid service

The monthly subscription provides users with access to the detailed container information that PortConnect holds. There are two parts to this cost:

  1. Users must be signed up to Subscribed Track & Trace which is a monthly charge of $102.60+GST. 

  2. Notifications cost $0.20 per Notification. Users can sign up for as many or as few Notification event types (called Notification Defaults) as they like and based on this multiple Notification events could be sent for a single container. e.g. If a user signed up to receive Notifications for Discharge and Gate-Out events then for Import containers they would receive two Notifications per container for a total cost of $0.40.

Notifications allows users to automatically process this information into their system rather than manually checking the website – the per Notification cost covers the cost of providing this service.

Note, there is no charge for sending registration of interest (ROI) messages, only for receiving Notifications.

Via API

PortConnect has an API (Application Programme Interface) version of the notifications functionality providing a new, more modern way of sending and retrieving data from PortConnect. You can read more about this on our API Developer's Guide.

Ways to submit an ROI for Notifications

Via an Excel spreadsheet (An Easy way to receive Notifications)

If you would like to register containers using the spreadsheet please contact info@portconnect.co.nz to request this option.

There is no limit on how many containers you can register for in one file. You can Select the title of the rows and a note will pop up with what data is required in that column.

NOTE: You need to set up your Notification Defaults first before you register containers. You can see Instructions on setting up your defaults are above.

Via B2B ROI

Business to Business (B2B) Registration Of Interest (ROI) is a way to register interest in containers so that you can automatically receive Notifications. A ROI message can be generated by your system and sent to PortConnect in a XML format. PortConnect will then register your interest in the requested container(s) and begin sending Notifications based on the defaults you have set up. This is an alternative to manual Registration of Interest through the PortConnect website.

You can read more in the B2B Notifications ROI On-Boarding Guide.

Tip

Receiving Notifications

Containers may not show up for one of three possible reasons:

  1. For Imports the Vessel Bay Plan (summary of containers on the vessel) may not have been received by the port yet.

  2. For Exports the container may not have been pre-advised yet.

  3. The container number you have searched may not be correct.
