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 lender events on your lodged applications Starts: Every weekday at 7:30 1. For each application reference you name, get the application's activity. 2. Keep the events that were not there on the last run. 3. Email you the list, one section per application, with lender, event and status. ### Outstanding document requirements, checked at noon Starts: Every weekday at 12:00 1. For each application reference, list the document requirements on the Documents tab. 2. Keep the requirements that are not marked Complete and have no exception requested. 3. Post them, grouped by application, to your CRM's webhook. ### Valuations received, posted to your CRM Starts: Every hour 1. For each application reference, get the application's activity. 2. Keep valuation events that were not there on the last run, and stop when there are none. 3. Post the application reference, lender, event and time to your CRM's 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](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get an application's activity” 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": "www.applyonline.com.au/get_application_activity", "input": { "application_reference": "AO-2048-7731", "since": "2026-11-09" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "application_reference": "AO-2048-7731", "lender": "Northwind Bank", "events": [ { "event": "Valuation Received", "at": "2026-11-11T15:42:00+11:00", "status": "Valuation received" } ], "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. ## ApplyOnline’s own options NextGen licenses ApplyOnline to broker groups and aggregators, and their CRMs connect to it with a two-way sync. It does not offer integration with third-party platforms in general, nor a direct integration for an individual broker. As a broker you have ApplyOnline itself, its mobile app and the notifications your aggregator's and your own settings allow. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | Aggregator CRM sync | Two-way synchronisation between an aggregator's CRM and ApplyOnline. | Licensed at the broker group or aggregator level. Other platforms only where contracted to support a specific broker group or aggregator. | | ApplyOnline app | Activity feed, portfolio view, search, favourites and push notifications for status updates. Loans cannot be changed in the app. | An ApplyOnline account with a linked mobile number, confirmed by an SMS code. | | Notifications | Email, SMS or push notifications of events such as a valuation received. | Depends on your aggregator's and your own user settings. | | ApplyOnline by hand | The Activity, Documents, Securities and Response tabs, one application at a time. | ApplyOnline access through the aggregator you are accredited under. | Read on November 12, 2026: [NextGen for brokers](https://nextgen.net/brokers/), [ApplyOnline](https://nextgen.net/applyonline/), [Order valuations directly within ApplyOnline](https://nextgen.net/blog/order-valuations-directly-within-applyonline/). ## Signing in to ApplyOnline You reach ApplyOnline through the aggregator you are accredited under, and NextGen sends brokers to that aggregator for platform help. The mobile app is linked to your account by a confirmation code sent to your mobile number. With Fous you sign in once through ApplyOnline'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 - **Licensed through your aggregator**: ApplyOnline is licensed at the broker group or aggregator level, the entity under which lenders accredit you. A method reads only the applications your own account can see. - **Two versions during the move**: Applications in progress stay in the version they were created in. Variation applications still open in the previous version through Convert, and the To Do list is part of the new one. - **Documents are filed against requirements**: On the Documents tab you file each document against a requirement and mark it Complete. File Pages splits a PDF of several documents, and a flagged tax file number can be redacted before filing. - **Ordering a valuation depends on status**: + Order Valuation on the Securities tab is offered only for some application statuses and milestones. A red Check Details result blocks Submit Valuation, amber is a warning, and the Valuation tab locks once submitted. ## More in Finance: mortgage and title - [AppraisalPort](https://fous.com/automate/appraisalport.md) - [Mercury Network](https://fous.com/automate/mercury-network.md) - [Uniform Collateral Data Portal](https://fous.com/automate/uniform-collateral-data-portal.md) - [Desktop Underwriter](https://fous.com/automate/desktop-underwriter.md) - [Loan Product Advisor](https://fous.com/automate/loan-product-advisor.md) - [PEXA](https://fous.com/automate/pexa.md) - [Simplifile](https://fous.com/automate/simplifile.md) - [HM Land Registry portal](https://fous.com/automate/hm-land-registry-portal.md) - [CommBroker](https://fous.com/automate/commbroker.md) - [LMS Conveyancer Zone](https://fous.com/automate/lms-conveyancer-zone.md) - [Barclays Mortgage Hub](https://fous.com/automate/barclays-mortgage-hub.md) - [Halifax Intermediaries Online](https://fous.com/automate/halifax-intermediaries-online.md) - [HSBC UK for Intermediaries](https://fous.com/automate/hsbc-uk-for-intermediaries.md) - [NatWest Intermediary Solutions](https://fous.com/automate/natwest-intermediary-solutions.md) - [NFI Online](https://fous.com/automate/nfi-online.md) - [Santander for Intermediaries](https://fous.com/automate/santander-for-intermediaries.md) - [Filogix Expert](https://fous.com/automate/filogix-expert.md) - [NMLS](https://fous.com/automate/nmls.md) - [MERS Online](https://fous.com/automate/mers-online.md) - [Teraview](https://fous.com/automate/teraview.md) - [RP Data Professional](https://fous.com/automate/rp-data-professional.md) - [AgentTRAX](https://fous.com/automate/agenttrax.md) - [VA LGY Hub](https://fous.com/automate/va-lgy-hub.md) - [UWM EASE](https://fous.com/automate/uwm-ease.md) - [Encompass TPO Connect](https://fous.com/automate/encompass-tpo-connect.md) Other industries: [E-Verify](/automate/e-verify), [COMMBUYS](/automate/commbuys), [LaTAP](/automate/latap), [EAMS (Washington ESD)](/automate/eams-washington-esd), [Würth Online-Shop](/automate/wurth-online-shop), [Workday VNDLY](/automate/workday-vndly). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does ApplyOnline have an API? Not for individual brokers. NextGen licenses ApplyOnline to broker groups and aggregators, whose CRMs sync with it both ways, and says it cannot support a direct integration for an individual broker. Brokers use ApplyOnline itself, the ApplyOnline app and the email, SMS or push notifications their aggregator allows. ### Where do I see what the lender has done with my application? On the application's Activity tab, which lists every event and status update. The ApplyOnline app shows the same milestones in its activity feed, and keeps declined, settled, cancelled or withdrawn applications for up to 3 months. ### Can I order a valuation in ApplyOnline? Yes, with New and then Valuation Request, or from an application's Securities tab with + Order Valuation, depending on the application's status and milestones. CoreLogic RP Data (ValEx) valuations are supported, and the Electronic Valuation Summary arrives on the Response tab. ### Can my CRM or another platform connect to ApplyOnline? Only when that platform is contracted to support your broker group or aggregator. NextGen says it does not support integration with third-party platforms as a general offering. Aggregators' CRMs can sync with ApplyOnline both ways. ### Is Fous affiliated with NextGen? No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own ApplyOnline account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of ApplyOnline (NextGen). The name is used only to say which system this page is about.
