Automate AppraisalPort 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 orders waiting for accept or decline

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:30
    Step 1

    Step 4
    Post each one, with order number, client and text, to your webhook.

  • Weekly submitted reports summary

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Friday at 16:00
    Step 1
    Get the reports submitted since last Friday.
    Step 2
    Group them by client with an AI step.
    Step 3
    Email you the summary: count per client, with order numbers 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 new orders in the queue” 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.appraisalport.com/get_new_orders",
    "input": {}
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "A-58213",
        "client": "Northwind Lending",
        "property_address": "418 Maple Ridge Dr, Columbus, OH 43215",
        "product": "1004 Single-Family",
        "fee": 525,
        "due_date": "2026-11-19",
        "received_at": "2026-11-12T06:42:00-05:00"
      }
    ],
    "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.

AppraisalPort’s own options

AppraisalPort's own pages describe no API for appraisers. You receive, accept or decline orders, message clients and track submitted reports on the website. Reports go in as AI Ready files from forms software that supports it, or as PDF. There is no registration or membership fee; a transaction fee follows the current pricing schedule.

Signing in to AppraisalPort

AppraisalPort signs you in with a username and password. Login Help emails a password reset link or your username, and you may be asked to choose a security question. With Fous you sign in once through AppraisalPort's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

The fee is per completed transaction
A transaction counts once the client accepts your report as complete. No fee for orders you reject in time or orders returned for adjustments, and clients may add their own fees.
Fee schedules differ by client
Each client's fee schedule is under Profile, Client List, behind the fee schedule icon. A method that reads it takes the client as an input.
Delivery from TOTAL has its own requirements
Sending from a la mode's TOTAL needs a TOTAL Connect Pro contract and your AppraisalPort user ID and password, and converts the report to an AI Ready ENV file.
On Hold requests have rules
A request to put an order on hold is rejected if the order is already on hold or a Property Details Collaboration decision is pending.

Frequently asked questions

Not for appraisers, according to AppraisalPort's own pages. Orders, accept and decline, messages and submitted reports are on the website. Reports can be sent as AI Ready files from forms software that supports it, or as PDF.

There is no registration, membership or annual fee. You pay a transaction fee set by the current pricing schedule for each completed order, and some clients add fees of their own, shown under Profile, Client List.

Not for orders you reject in time or orders returned for adjustments. The fee covers receiving and accepting the order and sending the report, however many times you send it.

No. AI Ready is preferred but optional, and you can always send your appraisal as a PDF. AppraisalPort also has a viewer to check an AI Ready report before you send it.

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