Automate the Cvent Supplier Network 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 and updated RFPs, each morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:30

  Step 1

  Get the RFPs in the New and Updated RFPs view.

  Step 2

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

  Step 3

  For each one, get its date options, peak room nights and response due date.

  Step 4

  Email you the list, sorted by response due date.

• Overdue and unassigned RFPs to your sales channel

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 10:00

  Step 1

  Get the RFPs in the Overdue view and in the Unassigned RFPs view.

  Step 2

  Stop when both lists are empty.

  Step 3

  Post each RFP, with its response due date and peak room nights, to your sales channel's webhook.

• Awarded and declined bids, posted to your CRM

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Check proposal statuses in the All RFPs view.

  Step 2

  Keep the RFPs whose status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post RFP name, planner organization, event start date and new status to your CRM 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 RFPs from a view” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "app.cvent.com/get_rfps_from_view",
    "input": {
      "view": "New and Updated RFPs"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "view": "New and Updated RFPs",
    "rfps": [
      {
        "name": "Acme Sales Kickoff 2027",
        "planner_organization": "Acme",
        "event_start_date": "2027-03-08",
        "response_due_date": "2026-11-18",
        "status": "Awaiting Proposal",
        "peak_room_nights": 140
      }
    ],
    "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.

The Cvent Supplier Network’s own options

Cvent documents a CSN API for suppliers that reads RFPs and their dates, creates and updates proposals, turns down and forwards RFPs, and covers messages. Cvent states that access requires a paid Cvent license and that the free tier does not include it. Without it, you work on the RFPs in Manage RFPs by hand.

Signing in to the Cvent Supplier Network

The Cvent sign-in page asks for an Account Name, a Username and a Password, and offers Log in using Single Sign-On. Some actions, such as turning down an RFP, depend on your assigned user role. With Fous you sign in once through that page with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256 and never returned by the API, and for a password sign-in an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

New and Updated RFPs skips close-in events

The New and Updated RFPs view leaves out RFPs for events within 90 days, and archived RFPs. To catch short-lead business, read the Due in the Next Week or All RFPs view as well.

Awarded RFPs archive after 30 days

Awarded RFPs are archived automatically 30 days after the RFP's decision date. A status check that should include them reads the All RFPs view, which shows archived RFPs too.

No turn down after a proposal

You cannot turn down an RFP once you have submitted a proposal: you withdraw the proposal instead. Turning down also needs a user role that allows it, and the event date must not have passed.

Forwarding depends on the planner

You can forward an RFP to other suppliers only when the planner has allowed forwarding on that RFP. Otherwise the forward fails.
