## Automate Auto Integrate with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) 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.

### Newly approved repair orders, sent to your shop system

Starts: Every 15 minutes on weekdays

1. Get the open repair orders from the Repair Order Manager.
2. Keep the Approved or Auto-approved ones that were not on the last run.
3. Post repair order number, fleet management company, VIN, invoice number and total to your shop system's webhook.

### Repair orders that need attention, every morning

Starts: Every weekday at 7:30

1. Get the open repair orders in Requires attention status.
2. For each one, read its line items and the fleet's notes.
3. Keep the rejected line items with their reason.
4. Email you the list, one section per repair order.

### Completed repair orders, handed to your accounting system

Starts: Every weekday at 18:00

1. List the completed repair orders on the Archive tab.
2. Keep the ones that were not there on the last run, and stop when there are none.
3. Post repair order number, invoice number, fleet management company, status and total to your accounting system'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 open repair orders” 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": "online.autointegrate.com/get_open_repair_orders",
    "input": {
      "status": "Awaiting Fleet"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "repair_orders": [
      {
        "repair_order_number": "RO-58213",
        "status": "Awaiting Fleet",
        "fleet_management_company": "Northwind Fleet Services",
        "vin": "1FTBR1C82PKA40417",
        "odometer": 48210,
        "invoice_number": "A-7731",
        "driver_complaint": "Brake noise from the front axle",
        "total": 612.4
      }
    ],
    "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.

## Auto Integrate’s own options

Auto Integrate publishes no API for repair shops. Independent shops work in the web platform, and national shops can have it integrated with their point-of-sale systems. Submitting to some fleet management companies costs a small fee, and payment comes from the fleet management company, not from Auto Integrate.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Point-of-sale integration for national shops | Repair requests sent electronically from a national chain's existing point-of-sale system to the fleet management company for approval. | Arranged with Auto Integrate for national shops. Terms and cost are not published. |
| Notifications And Alerts | Emails on chosen Event Types for your repair orders, filtered by fleet management company, to up to 25 addresses per alert. | The Shop Admin role in your shop's account. |
| Auto Integrate by hand | The Repair Order Manager with its Repair Orders and Archive tabs, each repair order's line items, notes, audit and Print Repair Order. | A registered shop and a user per person. Submitting to some fleet management companies incurs a fee. |

## Signing in to Auto Integrate

Auto Integrate signs each user in with a username and password, with a Keep me logged in option. Each person at the shop has their own user, created by a Shop Admin. With Fous you sign in once through Auto Integrate's own sign-in with your own user: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

## Worth knowing

- **Work starts only after approval**: After it is submitted, a repair order shows Auto Approved or Awaiting Approval. Work begins only once it is Approved, which the user guide marks with 'You can now commence work'.
- **Payment is claimed with Work Complete**: Payment is claimed by pressing Work Complete and confirming the completion time, tax and your invoice number. The fleet management company pays, and payment questions go to it.
- **Rejected items come back with a reason**: A rejected line item can be edited, deleted or resubmitted. When the reason is More information required, you answer with Add more information.
- **Two roles at the shop**: Shop Technician creates, edits and views repair orders. Shop Admin manages users, shop details and Notifications And Alerts. A method does only what its user's role allows.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Auto Integrate have an API?

Not one published for repair shops. Auto Integrate integrates national shops' point-of-sale systems so they can send repair requests electronically, and independent shops use the web platform. Email alerts on repair order events are set up in Notifications And Alerts.

### How do I know when a repair order is approved?

Its status in the Repair Order Manager shows Approved or Auto-approved. Hover over the status icon to see it. A Shop Admin can also set up email alerts on chosen event types in Notifications And Alerts.

### Who pays me for an Auto Integrate repair order?

The fleet management company. Auto Integrate says it does not issue any payments, and questions about the payment of a repair order go to the fleet management company. You claim payment by marking the repair order Work Complete.

### Can I see completed repair orders?

Yes, on the Archive tab of the Repair Order Manager. Open repair orders are on the Repair Orders tab. A method you build can read the Archive, and a workflow can post each new completed repair order to your accounting system's webhook every evening.

### Is Fous affiliated with Auto Integrate?

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

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of Auto Integrate (Auto Integrate). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
