Automate MyFreedom with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Weekly fleet check of overdue and due surveys and findings

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each vessel you name, get the surveys and audits marked Overdue or Due.

  Step 2

  For the same vessels, get the open findings marked Overdue or Due.

  Step 3

  Group them by vessel and email you the list, overdue items first.

• Certificates expiring, posted to your fleet system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  List the certificates in Fleet > Certificates marked Expiring or Expired.

  Step 2

  Keep the ones that were not on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post vessel, certificate name, number, type and expiry date to your webhook.

• New findings handed to your maintenance system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every day at 18:00

  Step 1

  For each vessel, get the open findings.

  Step 2

  Keep the findings that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with asset, criticality, due date and the Found text, to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get surveys and audits for a vessel” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.eagle.org/get_surveys_audits",
    "input": {
      "vessel": "Northwind Trader",
      "due_only": true
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vessel": "Northwind Trader",
    "class_no": "08812345",
    "surveys_audits": [
      {
        "name": "Annual Hull Survey 5",
        "due_date": "2026-11-30",
        "due": "Due",
        "range_start": "2026-08-30",
        "range_end": "2027-02-28",
        "type": "Classification Service",
        "findings": 0,
        "status": "Created",
        "in_progress_order": null
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

MyFreedom’s own options

ABS links a client's maintenance management system to MyFreedom through APIs for survey, compliance and maintenance reporting, announced in 2021 and built into ABS Nautical Systems. Inside the portal, Reports can be generated, saved and automated, and the Vessel Status By Fleet report can be emailed on a schedule. The MyFreedom Help Center documents no other API.

Read on November 12, 2026: ABS press release on the single interface for compliance and maintenance systems, MyFreedom Quick User Tour, ABS MyFreedom Help Center.

Signing in to MyFreedom

MyFreedom signs you in with a username and password, with a Keep Me Signed In box and a separate Log In with Smart Card option. A forgotten password is reset with a code sent to your registered email. With Fous you sign in once through MyFreedom's own sign-in with your own username and password: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Your Account Manager decides what you see

Access to vessels, fleets and projects is granted by your organization's Account Manager in Access Manager. A method reads only the vessels your account has been given.

Place Order lists 60 days ahead

When you place a vessel order, Scheduled Surveys/Audits lists everything overdue or due within 60 days. Request Extension applies only to periodic surveys such as Special, Renewal, Intermediate and retest.

Order numbers start as temporary

A submitted order first gets a temporary number (TMP#) and appears under Active Orders. ABS notes that the request number may be linked to several orders.

Survey Requirements depend on start date

New surveys show System VPs in the Survey Requirements document. Surveys already Commenced or Continued keep Asset VPs.
