Can OTM Integrate with YRC's (formerly Yellow Freight) Hyperlink Pickup Notification?

[[email protected] Member Find all posts View Profile Close [email protected]]

Hello,

Does anyone know if the "out of the box" OTM functionality allows for integration with a setup such as YRC's hyperlink pickup notification? Below are the specs on what it includes and how it works. The OTM Integration helps says.... "HTML to communicate with non-EDI, non-XML partners"....but that is the only mention of it that I can find.

Thanks in advance for any feedback on how we could possibly have OTM talk to YRC using this techonology.
