Yes. Programmatically modify routes and stops using the Routes API — update stop status (delivered/attempted), change assignments, dispatch routes to drivers, or edit route options, then re‑optimize as needed. When your store uses EasyRoutes notifications, status changes made through the API follow the same rules and can send customer updates and refresh ETAs. This applies to both EasyRoutes for Shopify and EasyRoutes for Web.

Can the API update route statuses?
Yes. The API can update stops and routes (e.g., mark delivered/attempted, assign/dispatch, or edit route details), which can trigger SMS/email notifications if enabled.
Can drivers self-assign routes?
Yes. Generate a dispatch link that lets eligible drivers claim a route themselves; the first to claim becomes the assigned driver.
