Automate AppFolio 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.

• Tenants with no payment in 30 days, every weekday

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:30

  Step 1

  Get delinquent tenants from the Delinquency report.

  Step 2

  Keep the tenants whose last payment date is more than 30 days before today.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by property, with unit, tenant, amount receivable and last payment.

• Work orders that moved, posted to your maintenance channel

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  List open work orders in your AppFolio database.

  Step 2

  Keep the work orders that are new or whose status or vendor changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with property, unit, job description, vendor, status and scheduled start, to your Slack webhook.

• Month-start rent roll, handed to your reporting system

  Build this

  Starts

  Monthly on the 1st at 6:00

  Step 1

  Get the rent roll for every property as of the last day of the previous month.

  Step 2

  Have an AI step total units, vacant units, rent and past due per property.

  Step 3

  Post the rows and the totals to your data warehouse 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 the rent roll” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "account.appfolio.com/get_rent_roll",
    "input": {
      "property": "Northwind Lofts",
      "as_of": "2026-10-31"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "property": "Northwind Lofts",
    "as_of": "2026-10-31",
    "units": [

        "unit": "101",
        "tenant": "Acme Holdings LLC",
        "status": "Occupied",
        "rent": 1850,
        "lease_from": "2025-12-01",
        "lease_to": "2026-11-30",
        "past_due": 0
      }
    ],
    "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.

AppFolio’s own options

AppFolio includes its own API on two plans: read only on Plus, from $3.20 per unit a month, and read/write on Max, from $5.00 per unit a month, each with a minimum spend and unit minimum. The Core plan lists no API. Software vendors reach the API through the AppFolio Stack partner program.

Signing in to AppFolio

AppFolio signs you in at account.appfolio.com with one email address and password for every database you can access, then a verification code by text or phone call, or a passkey. You can be remembered for 30 days. With Fous you sign in once through AppFolio's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

One login, several databases

With AppFolio's unified account, one email and password reach every database you have access to, listed after you sign in. Name the database a method should read when you describe it.

Financial access verifies every time

Users who can see sensitive financial information are asked to verify by text message at every sign-in, even with the 30-day remember option. Email is not accepted as a second step.

API rights are set per plan and per endpoint

Plus gets read-only API access and Max read/write. Credentials are generated under General Settings, Manage API Settings, by a user with the System Administrator role.

Reports can be scheduled as CSV

Reports such as the Rent Roll have a Schedule option under Actions with CSV as a format. Customize adds or removes a report's columns, so set the columns you need before you build on a report.
