Automate AEP Ohio 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.

  • New bills for every account, posted to accounts payable

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 8:00
    Step 1
    For each account number you list, get the latest bill from View Bill.
    Step 2
    Keep the bills that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post account number, account name, bill date, kWh used, amount due and due date to your accounts payable webhook.

  • Monthly energy usage report across your sites

    Build this
    Starts
    On the 5th of every month at 7:00
    Step 1
    For each account number, get last month's usage from the Energy Dashboard.
    Step 2
    Have an AI step group the accounts by site and list the highest usage days.
    Step 3
    Email you the report, one row per account.

  • Payment Activity changes across every account

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 9:00
    Step 1
    For each account number, check Payment Activity for the last 30 days.
    Step 2
    Keep payments whose status changed since the last run.
    Step 3
    Email you each one with the account number, date, amount and status.

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 bills for an account” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "aepohio.com/get_bills",
    "input": {
      "account_number": "110-482-6731-0",
      "bills": 2
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account_number": "110-482-6731-0",
    "account_name": "Acme Warehouse LLC",
    "bills": [
      {
        "bill_date": "2026-11-04",
        "kwh_used": 18420,
        "current_charges": 2311.57,
        "amount_due": 2311.57,
        "due_date": "2026-11-25"
      },
      {
        "bill_date": "2026-10-03",
        "kwh_used": 21065,
        "current_charges": 2604.12,
        "amount_due": 0,
        "due_date": "2026-10-24"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

AEP Ohio’s own options

AEP Ohio's online account lets you view and pay bills, see Payment Activity, track usage on the Energy Dashboard and manage several accounts under one login. Usage can be downloaded through Green Button in a standard format. AEP Ohio's account pages describe no API for customers' own accounts.

Signing in to AEP Ohio

AEP Ohio signs you in with a User ID and a password, with an option to remember the User ID. You register with an active email address plus a phone number, address or account number. With Fous you sign in once through AEP Ohio's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Several accounts under one login
You can add and remove accounts and change the default login account. A method takes the account number as an input, so one workflow can loop over every account you manage.
Meter read dates move a little
Your meter may be read 1 business day before or 1 to 2 business days after the date on your meter reading schedule. Schedule bill checks daily rather than on one fixed date.
Estimated reads are corrected later
When a meter cannot be read, AEP Ohio estimates that month's usage and readjusts the bill at the next actual reading. Comparing each bill with the last run shows those changes.
Smart meters report daily
Smart meters send usage information daily. Where a meter is still read by hand, the goal is a monthly reading, so daily usage depends on the meter at each site.

Frequently asked questions

Not one that AEP Ohio describes for customers' own accounts. It offers the online account, the AEP Ohio app and a Green Button download of your energy usage in a standard format. With Fous you can build your own methods that read bills, usage and Payment Activity as JSON.

The online account holds several accounts under one login, and you switch between them. With Fous, a workflow can loop over your account numbers on a schedule, call the same method for each and send you the results by email or webhook.

Use Green Button, which downloads your energy usage information from the website in a standard format you can upload to compatible energy apps. The Energy Dashboard shows usage month to month and your highest day of usage.

When the meter cannot be read, AEP Ohio estimates that month's usage from seasonal data and your history, then readjusts the bill at the next actual reading. You may request two actual meter reads a year at no charge in the cases the handbook describes.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own AEP Ohio online account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
