GrabFood is an online food delivery service offered by Grab, a prominent super-app in Southeast Asia. It connects users with a wide range of restaurants, allowing them to order meals for delivery through an intuitive mobile app or website.

GrabFood integration with Wiresk allows businesses to handle essential operations efficiently and improve their responsiveness. With this integration, restaurants can manage their GrabFood activities directly from Wiresk.

Prerequisite:
Using GradFood with Wiresk requires a Grab Merchant account. Sign up to partner with Grab here.
For developers, see Grab API endpoint documentation here.
See Grab FAQs to learn more about how to integrate GrabFood to your System.

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

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 “GrabFood” in the search field or scroll down the list of apps and choose the Grab icon.

  • Give a Name to the connection.
  • Enter you GrabFood Client ID.
  • Enter your GrabFood Client Secret.
  • Chose your connection Environment.
  • Click on “Create App” button.

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


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

Select your Group, then on the Flow management screen click on “Create Flow”.

It’s important to note that GrabFood 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.

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”.

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 or multiple Methods for complex Flows (a maximum of 255 Methods).

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

If you want to build a complex Flow, Wiresk offers a selection of tools at your disposal. Refer to Wiresk’s Tools

To add Tools in your Flow, Follow the same step as adding the Methods. On the Flow builder screen, click on the plus button (+) then just click on the “Tool” tab and select the Tool that you want to add.


What your automation will do…

Wiresk simplifies the integration of GrabFood with your current POS. Use the available methods in Wiresk to:

  • Eliminate manual order entry: When a customer places an order through GrabFood, it automatically appears in your POS system. This allows your restaurant staff to focus on fulfilling orders efficiently and providing excellent customer service.
  • Maintain accurate menus: Updates made to your GrabFood menu, such as adding new items or marking items as unavailable, are instantly reflected in your POS system. This eliminates the need for manual updates, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
  • Manage campaigns with ease: Easily manage and launch restaurant campaigns directly from within the your POS interface.


After setting up your Flow, you can choose to:

  • Run once”, your Flow will run only a single time. You can use this function to test your Flow. Refer to how to set up an HTTP Trigger, in the “Create a Flow” step.
  • Run Scheduler” will automate your Flows with the recurrence rule you previously defined.


For more details, refer to How to run a Flow tutorial in our Help Center.
 
If you are using a Webhook Trigger, the Flow will initiate automatically when a webhook is received from your connected apps. This means that the Flow is automated without a scheduler and will run until you deactivate the Flow manually. Refer to Webhook documentation in our Help Center.
