Getting Started: 

  • The MacroPoint module requires an account with MacroPoint, purchasing the module license from Dr Dispatch and an active support agreement. Please call us at (800)879-7443 ext. 1, or email sales@drdispatch.com for pricing information.
  • You can see what Macropoint offers (and it's quite powerful) HERE.


  1. Purchase an account from Macropoint and learn how their service works.  It's very simple and easy to use.  
  2. Inform Macropoint that you need an API ID/Password.


Integration with Dr Dispatch:


Once you have all of the information required to fill out the screen below:


  1. Open Dr Dispatch and click the Settings button.
  2. Click on "Load Tracking (GPS)".
    1. Enable the checkbox for "Enable Macropoint Updates".
    2. Enter the API information you received from Macropoint.
      • Not your Macropoint login/password! You need the API ID/Password you requested from Macropoint!
      • Enter Email addresses you want optionally emailed status updates sent to, separated by a comma, on the bottom right.
    3. Click Save Changes.
    4. Close Settings.

That completes the Dr Dispatch side - just one more step to complete on the Macropoint side.




Finally we tell Macropoint to send updates to Dr Dispatch as they happen.


Login to your Macropoint account HERE (https://macropoint-lite.com/LogOn.aspx)2. Once you are logged in, click on Update Company Preferences (near the bottom after you login)


You are going to fill in 4 boxes under the "Please enter appropriate URLs" section.  This tells Macropoint where to send updates on the Internet.


The urls below show a license ID of 66666666.  Please replace this with your own license id.


You can find this in Dr Dispatch under Help -> About


e.g.


Location Updates:

https://johnny-five.azurewebsites.net/api/mp/66666666/LocationNotification  


Order Status Changes: 

https://johnny-five.azurewebsites.net/api/mp/66666666/OrderStatusChange



Trip Event Updates 

https://johnny-five.azurewebsites.net/api/mp/66666666/EventUpdate

Schedule Alerts

https://johnny-five.azurewebsites.net/api/mp/66666666/ScheduleAlert


Remember, the end of each line where it reads "66666666" will be changed on all 4 lines to match your company license ID.


5. Click the Save button below - failing to do this will cause the integration to not work.


Your screen should look like the one below:
