What the answers mean¶
The connector never mixes three different things up, and neither should an assistant reading it.
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Reconnect Freight Right" | The connection is gone: disconnected, or the account was deactivated. | Reconnect from your assistant's settings. |
| "Assistant access is turned off for this account" | Your administrator switched assistant access off. Or, for a Freight Right administrator, nobody has switched it on yet. The connection is intact. | Contact Freight Right. There is no need to reconnect. |
| "can be read but not booked from this connection" | The quote request belongs to another account or organization: reading it is not authority to book it. | Ask the account that created it, or a member of its organization, to book it. |
| "This connection does not include the permission…" | The connection was made before this capability existed. | Reconnect and approve the updated list. |
| "Freight Right is temporarily unavailable" | A dependency is down. Nothing about your account changed. | Try again shortly. |
| "Freight Right is busy. Wait N seconds" | A limit or a capacity bound was reached. | Wait the number of seconds given. |
| "This offer changed since you read it" | The price moved between reading and confirming. | Price again and prepare a new booking. |
| "The answer did not reach us" | Your booking was sent, and Freight Right is being asked again for the outcome. | Read the operation again in a moment. Never prepare it twice. |
| "The draft changed since the answer you have" | The assistant tried to change a request draft from an older reading of it, a retry after a lost answer, or two edits at once. | Nothing was applied twice; the answer shows the current state. Continue from it. |
| "Preview it again" | The request changed between the preview you saw and the submission. | Nothing was sent. Look at the new preview and say whether to send that version. |
| "need a Freight Right account, which is free" | The connection has no Freight Right account behind it. | Sign up on Shipment Manager's sign-up page, connect your assistant to that account, and ask again. |
| "done on the staff page" | A Freight Right administrator's assistant tried to file a request for a customer. | Staff file for a customer on the staff page in Shipment Manager; the assistant can still read requests. |
| "An older Freight Right build answered" | During a rollout, an instance that does not serve a shipment's billing, customs, documents or the events feed yet answered the call. | Try again in a minute. Nothing is wrong with the connection. |
| "does not serve … yet (its API says so)" | That Freight Right environment has not switched the section on. | Ask Freight Right when it will be. Nothing to reconnect. |
| "Billing is switched off for this Freight Right account" | Your administrator hid billing for the account; the Billing tab is hidden in Shipment Manager too. | Contact Freight Right. |
| "need a permission this connection does not hold" | Billing or document events were asked for from the events feed without their permission; the rest of the feed still answered. | Reconnect and approve the updated list to receive them. |
Everything else, an invalid postal code, an unsupported lane, or a cargo that needs a quote request, comes back as Freight Right's own message, in plain words, with the field that was wrong.
