Automate MyCodabox 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.

• CODA mandates waiting on a signature or showing Problem

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the CODA mandate statuses from Mandates & Services > CODA > Manage.

  Step 2

  Keep the mandates in Awaiting Signature or Problem, and the Archived ones with their stop reason.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by status, with company, bank and bank account status.

• CODA mandate status changes, posted to your own system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 17:00

  Step 1

  Get the CODA mandate statuses for all companies.

  Step 2

  Keep the mandates whose status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post company, bank, old and new mandate status and bank account statuses to your webhook.

• Expired VOILA invitations, weekly

  Build this

  Every Monday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Check the VOILA statuses for Company Invitation Expired and Problem.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Email you the companies to follow up, one line each with its VOILA 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 CODA mandate statuses” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.mycodabox.com/get_coda_mandate_statuses",
    "input": {
      "mandate_status": "Bank Procedure"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "mandates": [
      {
        "company": "Acme BV",
        "bank": "Northwind Bank",
        "mandate_status": "Bank Procedure",
        "bank_accounts": [
          {
            "iban": "BE00 0000 0000 0101",
            "status": "Waiting for activation by the bank"
          }
        ],
        "stop_reason": 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.

MyCodabox’s own options

Codabox has an API, built for accounting software and sales-invoicing software: each call needs an X-Software-Company key requested from Codabox, and production access follows a demo and a smoke test. An accounting office receives CODA, SODA and invoices through its delivery method and manages mandates in MyCodabox.

Signing in to MyCodabox

MyCodabox asks for your email address and password. Two-factor authentication with an authenticator app is optional, each user chooses it, and Admins invite users and decide which environments they reach. With Fous you sign in once through MyCodabox's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never shown to code or AI agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

No transactions, no CODA

A bank only produces a CODA file when there are transactions. A gap in the File List or a bank account at Waiting for first CODA file often means a quiet account, not a fault.

Two years of files to redeliver

The File List goes back to the mandate start, up to 2 years, and Delivery on demand is free. Periods before activation need Request historical CODA and the client's consent in the banking app.

KBC and CBC need the account holder

For KBC and CBC accounts the account holder must create the link in the banking app. A bank account waiting on that step shows Waiting for activation by account holder.

Admins decide who sees which environment

Only Admins see Administration > Manage users, invite colleagues and grant environments. A method reads only the companies of the environments your own user can open.
