Steps
Create an API key in Onfleet's Settings under 'API and Webhooks' using an active trial or paid account with admin access.
Call the team dispatch endpoint (POST to a team's /dispatch path) to trigger Team Auto-Dispatch, which assigns unassigned tasks on the team to on-duty workers while keeping each driver's already-assigned tasks in place and interleaving new ones into their route.
Optionally pass tuning parameters such as maxTasksPerRoute (default 100, max 200), taskTimeWindow, scheduleTimeWindow, serviceTime (default 2 minutes), routeEnd, and maxAllowedDelay (default 10 minutes) to control the dispatch behavior.
Use the filters.workers object (maxContainerSize, vehicleType) to further constrain which drivers are eligible when a team has drivers with different capacities or vehicle types.
Store the returned dispatchId and, since auto-dispatch runs asynchronously, listen for the autoDispatchJobCompleted webhook event rather than polling to know when the dispatch finished.
Known gotchas
Team Auto-Dispatch is gated to Onfleet's Scale plan or higher — confirm plan eligibility before building against this endpoint.
Only one Team Auto-Dispatch operation can run per team at a time (a concurrent call returns an explicit error), and there is a hard 200-mile maximum distance constraint among drivers, hubs, and tasks in the optimization.
