Set up your Turvo integration
Connecting Turvo to Cargado is free, and Cargado hosts and supports it. Cargado gives you an integration email, a webhook URL and a token; you set up an API user and send back its credentials.
The Turvo integration is free. Cargado hosts it and supports it, and you do not need your Turvo rep: we connect directly to your Turvo account through its API.
What Cargado provides
- An integration email at cargado.com for the API user you create in Turvo.
- A webhook Notify URL and a token, which you register in Turvo so it tells Cargado about changes.
- The setup guide for Turvo, and help on a shared screen if you want it.
What you provide
- A Turvo API user for Cargado, created with the integration email, and its password.
- Your Turvo API key, client name and client secret.
- The webhook, registered with the URL and token we send and subscribed to Shipment, Carrier and User events.
Test or production: your Cargado contact confirms which Turvo instance and which Cargado environment to use.
Four questions we ask during setup
- Who covers the freight. Which Turvo field names the person or team that owns coverage, if any. During setup, we assign the coverage owner and teams in Cargado and set a fallback owner.
- Which rate to post. Which Turvo field, if any, holds the rate you want on the posting.
- Loads without a rate. Whether those can post as bid-only, so carriers send their price.
- Ready to post. Which Turvo status means a load can be posted.
What happens after you connect
- Your Turvo freight syncs into Cargado. Until a load is posted, only your team can see it.
- Nothing reaches carriers until you approve a posting rule or post a load yourself. See Set up auto-posting rules.
- During setup, we confirm which TMS status means a load is no longer available. When that status syncs, Cargado takes the posting down.
- Carrier bids come back to the load in Turvo, and when you book a carrier, the booking syncs back to Turvo too. The rate confirmation still comes from your team.
For how synced loads post and how bids come in, see What does a TMS integration do?
Send credentials directly
Send keys, tokens, passwords and secrets straight to your Cargado contact. Never post them in a shared chat, channel or group thread, where people outside the setup can read them.
How to start
Email success@cargado.com or ask your Cargado contact. We start with a short call with someone on your team who knows your Turvo setup and can approve posting rules.
Still stuck?
Email us and a person on our team will answer. Send the posting link or a screenshot if you have one.
