Command reference
Custom Link exposes roughly 35 distinct commands, all sent through the
single ExecuteRequest SOAP operation described in the
overview. This page indexes every one of them; each row
links to the page with the full request/response walkthrough.
Read Custom Link: rules of engagement before building against any of these.

RequestJobIds / RequestJobs / RequestJobProgress / StoreJobProgress / StoreJobCompleted / StoreJobOrderImportOrderStatuses | various | Internal WorldLink Connector protocol — MendriX’s own order-import connector uses these to report progress on a file uploaded through the WorldLink web UI. There is no SOAP command to create a Job or upload a file, so these commands have nothing to act on unless you are that connector. Not usable by client-scoped tokens (default-deny) and not part of any integrator workflow — not documented further. |

RequestDpdData | ResponseDpdData | Retrieve DPD carrier-specific shipment data |
All of the above are documented in full on Operational data.
