Automate Checkatrade 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.

• New jobs posted to your CRM

  Build this

  Starts

  Every 15 minutes

  Step 1

  Get my jobs with the status New.

  Step 2

  Keep the jobs that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with its title, description and location, to your CRM or Slack webhook.

• Morning check of the Opportunities Board

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Browse the Opportunities Board for your postcode, radius and categories.

  Step 2

  Keep the leads not there on the last run, at or under the credit cost you set.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, with each lead's title, location and credit cost.

• Monthly Checkatrade invoice to your accounts

  Build this

  Starts

  Monthly, the day after your billing date, at 9:00

  Step 1

  Get Checkatrade invoices issued since the last run.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post the amount, due date, products and VAT 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, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get my jobs” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "membersapp.checkatrade.com/get_my_jobs",
    "input": {
      "status": "New"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "jobs": [
      {
        "title": "Replace kitchen mixer tap",
        "description": "Mixer tap is dripping at the base. Tap supplied, need it fitted this week.",
        "location": "Leamington Spa, CV32",
        "status": "New",
        "customer_name": null,
        "customer_phone": null,
        "customer_email": null
      }
    ],
    "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.

Checkatrade’s own options

Checkatrade's developer API is for affiliates that send homeowners' job requests into Checkatrade: it creates jobs with a key and secret pair. It has no documented way for a member to read leads, quotes, reviews or invoices. Members use the Trades App and the Members Area, and get their invoices by email.

Signing in to Checkatrade

You sign in to Checkatrade with your account's email address, press Continue, then enter your password. A forgotten password is reset by email from the sign-in screen; support cannot reset it for you. With Fous you sign in once through Checkatrade's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Some statuses are hidden from the Jobs list

Declined, Lost and Withdrawn jobs drop out of the Jobs list and are seen only through its filters. A method that reads every job has to ask for them.

Board leads arrive late and then go

Leads usually appear on the board after about 4 hours. A lead goes when the maximum number of trades have opened it, the customer closes it or it expires. Credits last 6 months.

Invoices go to the Billing Contact only

Checkatrade invoices are open only to the account's designated Billing Contact. Sign in with that person's account to read them.

A status change notifies the customer

Marking a job Booked, Completed, Declined or Lost sends the customer a notification, and Completed sends them a request to leave a review. Write methods should change a status only when it is true.
