Automate Autossimo 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.

• Parts in stock for tomorrow's bookings

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the next day's plates and jobs

  Step 1

  For each registration plate, identify the vehicle on Autossimo.

  Step 2

  Check part prices and distributor stock for the parts each job needs.

  Step 3

  Keep the parts your distributor does not show in stock.

  Step 4

  Email you the list by vehicle, with reference, brand, price and stock.

• Price changes on the parts you fit most

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each reference on your list, check its price and distributor stock on Autossimo.

  Step 3

  Post reference, brand, old price, new price and stock to your webhook.

• Parts and labour times for a new quote

  Build this

  Step 2

  Get the temps barémés for the operations and the parts prices with distributor stock.

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 “Identify a vehicle by registration plate” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www3.autossimo.com/identify_vehicle_by_registration",
    "input": {
      "registration": "GH-482-KT"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "registration": "GH-482-KT",
    "vehicle": {
      "make": "Acme Motors",
      "model": "Vela",
      "version": "1.5 Diesel 130 Confort",
      "engine": "1.5 Diesel 130",
      "fuel": "Diesel",
      "first_registration": "2021-03-18"
    },
    "found": true
  }
}

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.

Autossimo’s own options

Autodistribution describes Autossimo as a website for ordering parts in real time directly from your Autodistribution distributor, with vehicle search by registration plate, distributor stock, quotes and labour times. Access is a subscription taken out with a distributor, with its own identifiants for each establishment. Its Autossimo pages describe no API or file exchange for garages.

Signing in to Autossimo

Autossimo signs you in with your E-mail and Mot de passe (password), and each establishment receives its own identifiants. With Fous you sign in once through Autossimo'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

One subscription per establishment

A business with several establishments takes out a subscription for each one, and each establishment receives its own identifiants. With Fous, each one signs in with its own identifiants, and a method reads only what that account can.

Stock and orders are your distributor's

Autossimo shows your Autodistribution distributor's stock and sends orders directly to that distributor, so what a method reads depends on the distributor your account is attached to.

Delivery times by region

Autodistribution delivers in Île-de-France in under 4 hours and across France within 24 hours, with daily restocking of its distributors from the Logistéo platform.

The panier stays open

The order basket is visible and can be changed at any time before you order. A method that only fills the panier lets someone check it on Autossimo before placing the order.
