Amazon SP-API · generateSelfShipAppointmentSlots · POST /inbound/fba/2024-03-20/inboundPlans/{inboundPlanId}/shipments/{shipmentId}/selfShipAppointmentSlots Gate: approve — interactive: show the change (Amazon's preview first where one exists), wait for an explicit approve; autopilot: only when the seller's own words asked for this change; otherwise ask. Self-ship (drop-off) flow. After SUCCESS, call fbaInbound_getSelfShipAppointmentSlots. Only available in MX, BR, EG, SA, AE and IN. Without the two dates Amazon picks the range.
