Integrating Services Portal Data With Third-Party Applications
The Event Subscription Service (ESS) allows Transport + Deliver to use data from Omnitracs.
Create a Subscriber
Transport + Deliver, when set up to receive transactions, is a "subscriber."
To create a subscriber, specify an identifier that Transport + Deliver must supply to communicate with the ESS queue.

Edit a Subscriber
You can change a subscriber's name and/or which transactions it subscribes to by following the steps below.
- From any Services Portal page, click Administration, then click the Integration tab.
- Click Transaction Subscriptions.
- In the table, locate the subscriber to change and click its subscriber name.
- Click Edit Subscriber.
- Enter a new name, if desired.
- Under Subscriptions, indicate which transactions to subscribe:
- To subscribe to a transaction, select the corresponding checkbox.
- To unsubscribe, clear the corresponding checkbox.
- Click Save.
Check the ESS Queue Status
Omnitracs continuously publishes transactions to the ESS server. On the server, these transactions remain queued until Transport + Deliver has retrieved them.
If Transport + Deliver has not queried the ESS server for a long time, so many messages may accumulate that the queue is in danger of filling up. If this happens, ESS notifies an emergency contact you specify. If you receive this notification or have another reason to be concerned, you can check the queue status.
The Subscribers page lists the capacity of the queue, how full the queue is, and when a transaction was last dequeued.
Create Macros
Macros are electronic forms that dispatchers and drivers can fill out. These “templates” save time and reduce errors.
You can create and edit macros that you will subscribe to; these are the transactions that Transport + Deliver will pull when connected.
See the Omnitracs guide for more information on creating macros. You can also watch a video.
