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

  1. 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.
  2. Which rate to post. Which Turvo field, if any, holds the rate you want on the posting.
  3. Loads without a rate. Whether those can post as bid-only, so carriers send their price.
  4. 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.
