Automate CenterPoint My Account 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.

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 the account summary for every property” 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": "myaccount.centerpointenergy.com/get_account_summary",
    "input": {}
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "properties": [
      {
        "service_address": "1200 Industrial Blvd, Suite 4",
        "account_number": "6400000001",
        "service_type": "natural gas",
        "amount_due": 1842.37,
        "due_date": "2026-11-21",
        "account_status": "Active"
      }
    ],
    "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.

CenterPoint My Account’s own options

CenterPoint Energy's customer pages describe My Account and the CenterPoint app, and no API or data feed for them. In My Account you see every property on one login, view and pay bills, read up to 24 months of usage, start or stop service, set alerts and add authorized users.

Signing in to CenterPoint My Account

My Account signs you in with a User ID, which is the email address you registered with, and a password, which is case sensitive. With Fous you sign in once through My Account's own sign-in with your own login: it is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

24 months of usage at most
My Account shows up to 24 months of energy usage history, fewer if service at the address started more recently. Natural gas and electric usage are shown separately.
One login for many properties
Several properties can sit under one login, and the account summary page shows each of them in one display you can search and sort.
Authorized users get their own login
You add an authorized user in Profile Settings with a name and email address, and choose what they may do: view account details, make payments or schedule services. They get an invitation to create their own login.
Five failed attempts lock the account
My Account locks a login after five failed sign-in attempts. It opens again after 30 minutes with the correct User ID and password.
