Add the Code to Call the Action

We’ll add the code that calls the Create_Delivery action by using the REST API.

Navigate to the Shipify-Node-App directory where you downloaded the Shipify Web application. Copy the file shipment_with_action_api_call.js to file shipment.js.
- On a Windows computer, the command would be: copy shipment_with_action_api_call.js shipment.js
- On a Mac OS computer, the command would be: cp shipment_with_action_api_call.js shipment.js
Enter this command to get the files ready to commit: git add —A
Enter this command to commit the changes along with a comment: git commit —m 'MyChangeComments'
If you’re working from a Windows computer, you may need to replace the single quotes with double quotes (").
Enter this command to deploy the app to Heroku: git push heroku master

If you look at the code to create the delivery record, you’ll see that it passes the invoice ID and does a POST to the /quickActions/Create_Directory resource.

1Shipment.prototype.createDelivery = function createDelivery(so) {
2    var self = this;
3    var authorization = this._formatAuthHeader(so.authorization);
4    if(!so.invoiceId) {
5        var err = new Error("Must Pass InvoiceId to Ship!");
6        err.statusCode = '400';
7        err.err = err.message;
8        this.emit('create-delivery', err);
9        return;
10    }
11    var quickActionBody = {
12        contextId: so.invoiceId,
13        record: {
14            Order_Number__c: so.orderNumber
15        }
16    };
17
18    var deliveryReq = {
19        url: so.instanceUrl + '/services/data/v29.0/
20            sobjects/Invoice__c/quickActions/Create_Delivery/',
21        method: 'POST',
22        headers: {
23            'Authorization': authorization,
24            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
25        },
26        body: JSON.stringify(quickActionBody)
27    };
28
29    //Make Ajax request and emit 'create-delivery' 
30    //with result data or error back to listner.	
31    request(deliveryReq, this.handleAJAXResponse(
32        'create-delivery'));
33};

We’ve got our API call all ready to go, so let’s test it out by shipping a customer order.
