Automate Order Express 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.

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 6:00

  Step 1

  Get order history for each account for the previous day.

  Step 2

  Step 3

  Post each sales order with its PO number, items and prices to your accounting system's webhook.

• Weekly purchase summary by account

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

• Drop ship orders that changed status

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 10:00

  Step 1

  Get the drop ship orders placed in the last 30 days for each account.

  Step 2

  Step 3

  Email you each one with its product, NDC, quantity and new 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 order history” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "orderexpress.cardinalhealth.com/get_order_history",
    "input": {
      "account": "Acme Pharmacy #2",
      "from_date": "2026-11-10",
      "to_date": "2026-11-10"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "account": "Acme Pharmacy #2",
    "orders": [
      {
        "sales_order_number": "7310048821",
        "po_number": "AC-11102",

            "description": "Atorvastatin 20 mg tablet, 90 count",
            "quantity_ordered": 6,
            "quantity_shipped": 6,
            "price": 8.42
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

Order Express’s own options

Cardinal Health's Order Express pages describe file exchange, not a public API. Import and Automated Purchase Order Import put orders into the Shopping Cart, PO Export sends orders to third-party systems, and Export Data downloads price files. Order History, Reports and Drop Ship are used in the site.

Signing in to Order Express

Order Express signs you in on Cardinal Health's sign-in page with a user ID and password, with Remember me, Forgot password and Forgot user ID links, or through single sign-on. With Fous you sign in once through that page with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256 and never shown to your code or agents, and when a password session expires, Fous signs back in.

Worth knowing

Order Express is moving to Vantus HQ

Cardinal Health is moving customers to Vantus HQ in phases. Retail and Specialty customers have moved, and more follow through 2026 and into 2027, so check which site your accounts use.

Order History keeps the original sales order

When orders leave through PO Export to a 340B or approval system, Order History in Order Express still holds the original sales order, so it is the record to reconcile against.

Drop Ship has its own section

Drop Ship orders are submitted through Order Express but tracked in their own section, so a method that follows them reads that section.

C2 orders go through CSOS Anywhere

Schedule II orders are placed with CSOS certificates through CSOS Anywhere, in place of the paper DEA Form 222.
