About Onfleet
Onfleet is a last-mile delivery management platform used by businesses that run their own delivery fleets. It handles driver dispatch, route optimisation, real-time tracking, and proof of delivery — all through a single dashboard. If your team is still coordinating deliveries through phone calls, group chats, or spreadsheets, Onfleet replaces that chaos with structured task management and automated driver assignment.
The n8n Onfleet node lets you connect delivery operations to the rest of your business systems. When a new order comes through your ecommerce platform or CRM, an n8n workflow can automatically create an Onfleet task, assign it to the right driver based on location or capacity, and then update your order management system with delivery status changes as they happen. That means your customer service team sees live ETAs without having to chase drivers.
Where this gets particularly useful is in exception handling. Onfleet webhooks can fire events for failed deliveries, late arrivals, or completed tasks — and n8n can route those events to Slack alerts, CRM updates, or automated customer SMS notifications. Instead of someone manually checking the Onfleet dashboard every few minutes, the system pushes information where it needs to go.
We work with logistics and delivery teams to build these integrations properly. If you’re running delivery operations and want to connect Onfleet to your existing stack, our system integrations team can help you design workflows that actually match how your drivers and dispatchers work.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Onfleet
As Onfleet consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Onfleet with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Map your delivery workflow
We start by documenting how delivery tasks currently flow through your business — from order placement to driver assignment to proof of delivery. This includes identifying which systems hold order data, how dispatchers currently assign drivers, and what happens when a delivery fails or is delayed.
Step 2
Connect Onfleet to your order source
Using the n8n Onfleet node, we connect your order management system (Shopify, WooCommerce, Airtable, or a custom database) to Onfleet. When a new order meets your delivery criteria, n8n automatically creates an Onfleet task with the correct pickup location, drop-off address, and delivery window.
Step 3
Configure driver assignment rules
We set up task assignment logic based on your operational needs — whether that is auto-assignment using Onfleet’s route optimisation engine, assignment by delivery zone, or manual dispatch with automated driver notifications. The n8n workflow handles any pre-assignment data formatting or filtering.
Step 4
Build status update pipelines
Onfleet webhooks push real-time task events (started, completed, failed, delayed) into n8n. We route these events to update your CRM, trigger customer SMS notifications, refresh internal dashboards, or alert dispatchers in Slack when something needs attention.
Step 5
Handle exceptions and edge cases
We build specific workflows for failed deliveries, address issues, rescheduled tasks, and driver reassignment. These edge cases are where manual processes usually break down, so automating them properly makes the biggest difference to your operations team.
Step 6
Test with live deliveries and refine
We run the full workflow with real delivery tasks, checking that task creation, driver assignment, tracking links, status updates, and exception handling all work correctly. We adjust timing, error handling, and notification triggers based on what we see in production.
