GLS Track & Trace + Claude

Track GLS (General Logistics Systems) parcels across Europe using the free public Track & Trace REST API. Look up parcels by GLS tracking number (TrackID) or customer reference.

Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

(none — public API)

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

Tracking number (TrackID): 10-12 digit numeric string printed on the parcel label.

Customer reference: the reference you (or the shipper) set when creating the parcel. Multiple parcels may share a reference, so results are always an array.

Language: de (German), en (English), fr, it, es, nl, pl, cz. The descriptions in event rows are translated accordingly.

Country scope: use country (ISO 2-letter like DE, AT, CH, FR) to scope lookup to GLS country organisation. 'EU' covers cross-border.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
