## Automate CenterPoint My Account 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.

### Bills coming due this week, across every property

Starts: Every Monday at 8:00

1. Get the account summary for every property on your login.
2. Keep the properties with an amount due and a due date in the next 7 days.
3. Email you the list with address, account number, amount due and due date.

### Monthly gas and electric usage, sent to your energy records

Starts: Monthly on the 10th at 7:00

1. Get the account summary to list every property and its service type.
2. For each account, get the energy usage history for the last 2 months.
3. Keep the months not there on the last run.
4. Post account number, billing period, usage, unit and amount billed to your webhook.

### New bills handed to accounts payable

Starts: Every weekday at 9:00

1. For each account you name, get the latest bill.
2. Keep the bills with a bill date not seen on the last run.
3. Post account number, bill date, amount due and due date to your accounts payable 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 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.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CenterPoint app | View your balance and pay bills, enroll in AutoPay, view and compare usage, and start or transfer service when you move. | A My Account login. |
| AutoPay and Paperless Billing | Pays each bill automatically and replaces the paper bill with an online one. | Enrollment in My Account. CenterPoint lists AutoPay as free. |
| CenterPoint My Account by hand | The account summary for every property, bills, payments, up to 24 months of usage, starting or stopping service, alerts and authorized users. | A My Account login, with the email address you registered as the User ID. |

## 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.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does CenterPoint Energy My Account have an API?

Not one that CenterPoint describes for customers. Its pages offer My Account, the CenterPoint app, AutoPay and Paperless Billing. With Fous you can build a method that reads what your own My Account login shows, such as the account summary or usage history, and returns it as JSON.

### How much usage history can I get from CenterPoint My Account?

Up to 24 months, depending on when you started service at the address. Natural gas and electric usage are shown separately, so a method that reads usage takes the service type as an input.

### Can I see all my business locations in one place?

Yes. Several properties can be managed under one login, and the account summary page shows details for each property in one display that you can search and sort. A workflow can read that page on a schedule and send you the amounts due across every location.

### Can someone on my team use our CenterPoint account without my password?

Yes. Add them as an authorized user in Profile Settings with their name and email address. They get an invitation to create their own login, and you choose whether they may view account details, make payments or schedule services.

### Is Fous affiliated with CenterPoint Energy?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own CenterPoint Energy My Account login, and a method reads and does only what that login can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of CenterPoint Energy My Account (CenterPoint Energy). 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.
