[ZendTo] AutoPickUp

Sat May 23 11:22:07 BST 2020

Gregg,

You have to know the claimID and Passcode of the dorp-off that you want 
to download.

But then again the ZendTo database structure is pretty simple, so given 
your code could access the DB, then it wouldn't be too hard to write 
your own scripts that could do this.

Hope that helps,
Jules.
