FedEx
Add FedEx to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a FedEx integration so your customers can ship and track under their own FedEx account from inside your product, requesting rates, creating labels, scheduling pickups, and reading tracking events. Tracking data arrives at unpredictable times, so events are delivered per tenant and deduplicated rather than polled, and each customer's own account and service settings are configuration rather than code. fastn handles per-customer authorisation and API upkeep, so onboarding another shipper is configuration rather than a release.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers connect their own FedEx account so they ship at their own negotiated rates from your product.
Request rates at checkout or fulfilment so your product shows real shipping options rather than estimates.
Create labels and schedule pickups from your product so a shipment goes out without switching tools.
Read tracking events so status changes surface inside your product instead of users checking a carrier site.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent reads tracking events before answering a where-is-my-order question.
An agent creates a label or schedules a pickup within governed permissions, with the action logged.
An agent reacts to an exception or delay event and starts the customer notification step.
Example prompt
List shipments still in transit past their estimated delivery date and show the last tracking event for each.
Set up FedEx in 4 steps
- 01Open the FedEx connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their own FedEx account.
- 03Map the shipper accounts, services, and tracking data your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the FedEx integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a FedEx integration without building it. Your customers connect their own FedEx account inside your product and work their shipments, tracking events and orders there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: tracking data arrives from many carriers in inconsistent formats and at unpredictable times. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a FedEx update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed FedEx connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you keep physical movement and stock visible inside your product without wiring it twice.

QuickBooksFedEx integration FAQ
How do I add a FedEx integration to my product?
Enable the FedEx connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own FedEx account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no FedEx client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own FedEx account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own FedEx account and only ever sees their own shipments, tracking events and orders. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this FedEx integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads tracking events before answering a where-is-my-order question.
Who maintains the FedEx integration?
fastn does. When FedEx changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can I track shipments from FedEx inside my product?
Yes. Shipment and tracking events are read per customer and can trigger your workflows, so status changes surface in your product instead of your users checking a carrier site.
What does my product get back from FedEx as things move?
Whatever FedEx actually holds. Where it moves goods, that is shipment and tracking events, read per customer and delivered as they land. Where it holds stock, levels can be read on demand or kept in step through events, so your product is not deciding on a stale count. Where it carries orders and documents between trading partners, it is the acknowledgement, ship notice or status change that says what moved.
What can I build with the FedEx integration?
A common starting point: connect their own FedEx account so they ship at their own negotiated rates from your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the FedEx integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding FedEx does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
