Automate Member Access 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 statements, handed to royalty accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  List the royalty statements under Earnings, domestic and international.

  Step 2

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

  Step 3

  Post each statement's distribution, type and lines to your accounting system's webhook.

• Weekly check for new or changed work registrations

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Friday at 16:00

  Step 1

  Get every registered work from the Works section.

  Step 2

  Keep the works that are new or whose writers, publishers or shares changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with title, writers, publishers and shares.

• OnStage performances, weekly summary

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Get the OnStage performances with a performance date in the past 7 days.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Email you each performance's date, venue and setlist, with the works on it.

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 registered works” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.ascap.com/get_registered_works",
    "input": {
      "title": "Northwind"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "works": [
      {
        "title": "Northwind Lights",
        "writers": [
          {
            "name": "Alex Acme",
            "share": 25
          }
        ],
        "publishers": [
          {
            "name": "Acme Songs",
            "share": 25
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

Member Access’s own options

The batch route for registrations is MusicMark, run by ASCAP, BMI and SOCAN: publishers send work registrations and revisions as CWR or EBR files to an SFTP server after a test phase. It does not carry statements or setlists. Those stay in Member Access, and the ASCAP app shows registration and your latest royalty distributions.

Signing in to Member Access

You sign in to Member Access on www.ascap.com with your ASCAP account. A Writer & Publisher member has both a writer and a publisher account, and either can register works. With Fous you sign in once through ASCAP's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256 and never shown to code or AI agents.

Worth knowing

Writer and publisher shares are separate

On Register a Work, writer shares total 50% and publisher shares total 50%. A Writer & Publisher member can sign in with either account to register a work.

Download Works is a catalog request

Download Works in the Works section builds an Excel file as a Catalog Request. It can take a minute or two before the Download button appears.

OnStage needs direct deposit first

Setlists can only be submitted once direct deposit is set up under Profile, Payment Information. A song must be registered before it can go on a setlist, and classical events are not supported.

MusicMark has fixed territories

MusicMark only processes the territories World, North America, the US and Canada. A file without one of them is rejected.
