Automate CollisionLink 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

  Every weekday at 7:30

  Get the dealer responses from the Jobs tab.

  Step 2

  Keep the parts with a Dealer Response of Quoted and a Part Status of Quote Requested.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by RO number, with supplier and quoted price.

• New dealer responses, posted to your shop system

• OE List differences on today's Unsent Orders

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with the RO numbers exported today

  Step 1

  For each RO number, check the price differences under Unsent Orders.

  Step 2

  Keep the part lines where OE List differs from Est. Price.

  Step 3

  Email you the lines with Est. Price, OE List and MyPriceLink Quote #, before anyone clicks Send.

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 dealer responses from the Jobs tab” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "collisionlinkshop.com/get_dealer_responses",
    "input": {
      "ro_number": "RO-20418"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "jobs": [
      {
        "ro_number": "RO-20418",
        "vehicle": "2024 Sedan, Silver",
        "supplier": "Northwind Motors Parts",
        "parts": [
          {
            "part_number": "52119-0X998",
            "description": "Front bumper cover",
            "dealer_response": "Quoted",
            "part_status": "Quote Requested",
            "quoted_price": 468
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

CollisionLink’s own options

OEC offers CollisionLink free to repair facilities, with free training and support, and documents no API for shops. Parts lists reach CollisionLink when you export an estimate from your estimating system, and Send Price Updates sends prices back. Orders, quote answers and returns are handled on the site.

Signing in to CollisionLink

CollisionLink has its own sign-in page at collisionlinkshop.com/login, listed among OEC's shop portals, and OEC's help article on signing in describes a username and a password. With Fous you sign in once through that page with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and your code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Estimates arrive by export

An estimate shows up under Unsent Orders after you export it from your estimating system. With manual import on you click Import Estimate; with it off, Refresh shows new orders.

A MyPriceLink quote is used once

After you click Send, the estimate becomes a CollisionLink transaction and its MyPriceLink Quote ID can no longer be searched or fulfilled in MyPriceLink. Prices are real time and may vary between repairs.

Bold OE List means a price difference

When OE List differs from Est. Price, it shows in bold on Unsent Orders. Send Price Updates pushes the new prices to your estimating system.

Returns follow the order's status

A return can be processed on an order with a Status of Completed, Submitted for Reimbursement or Closed. The dealer picks the reason and enters the credit memo, and the dealer's notes are not shared with you.
