Foodpanda – Create a connection

Estimated reading time: 2 min

Foodpanda, a leading food and grocery delivery platform, connects you to local restaurants and stores.

By integrating Foodpanda with Wiresk, you gain advanced control over your operations. Manage your store’s status (open/closed), dynamically update your menu (create, modify items, manage availability), and efficiently oversee orders (retrieve details, list IDs, mark as prepared, and update status). Wiresk empowers you to optimize your Foodpanda presence with real-time management and automation.

Before beginning the development:
You must have a finalized Non-Disclosure Agreement with Foodpanda. Don’t have an agreement? Please reach out to your Foodpanda contact or submit the request here.
Received confirmation from Foodpanda contact to begin the development.

A connection to your Foodpanda account is needed so we can sync it with our platform.

To get access to Integration APIs, you will need a credential (username and password).

  • Generate a PGP key pair: For security purposes, we will need your PGP public key to encrypt the credential before sending it to you via email. You can download the tool for PGP key generation here and generate a key pair.
  • Fill in the form: Submit the request by filling in the aggregator credential request form here.
  • After submitting the request, let your Foodpanda contact know, so they can check and approve the request.
  • You will receive the credential via email once your Foodpanda contact approves your request. Please also check your Spam folder, just in case the email appears there instead of your inbox.
  • Use your PGP private key to decrypt the credential.
There are two ways to connect your app to Wiresk:
 
▪️ In “My apps” section, where you can manage your connections (select or create your group first to get access to this section, refer to the Group system ).
 
▪️ While building your Flow, you can easily establish a connection to your app directly within the Flow builder. This can be done during the setup of either a Trigger or a Method.
 
In this documentation, we will explain how to create a connection in “My apps” section, it is essentially the same as when creating it on-the-go.
  • On the left panel of Wiresk user interface, go to “My apps” and click on the (+) button. 
  • Search “Foodpanda” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the Foodpanda icon.

  • On the prompted screen, give a name to your connection, e.g., “Foodpanda Connection”.
  • Enter your Foodpanda Credentials:
    • Username
    • Password
  • Select the connection environment (Development or Production).
  • Select Create App

Voila! Your Foodpanda app connection is ready. You can now use it to build your Flows.


Now that Foodpanda is linked to Wiresk, you’re ready to start building Flows.

How to create a Flow ↓
  • Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.

A – Select the Trigger

It’s important to note that Foodpanda integration does not currently include any Triggers.
Flows can be executed by multiple Triggers, depending on the desired workflow. For example, you could use scheduled Triggers with different recurrence rules alongside a Webhook Trigger for immediate, event-driven runs of the Flow. If you choose to “Run Once“, the Flow will execute using only one Trigger and its sample data.
  • Name the Flow that you want to create.
  • Add your Trigger by clicking on the red plus (+) Add button.
  • On the Trigger selection screen, search your app or select it from the list below the screen.

  • Select your preferred Trigger on the next screen and customize its settings.

As mentioned in “How to connect your app to Wiresk” above, during your Trigger settings, you can create a new connection to your apps at this stage.

B – Add an HTTP Trigger to your Flow

An HTTP Trigger allows you to manually activate your Flows.

  • Click on the red plus button (+) again to add a Trigger for testing your Flow, then click on the button “HTTP Trigger”.

C – Add a Method to your Flow

The Method will perform a specific task on a particular app or service you’ve connected to Wiresk like get info or send emails.

You can add at least 1 Method (a maximum of 255 Methods).

  • On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) next to the Trigger icon.
