Automate 易港通 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.

• Unpaid container releases, every open bill

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00, Asia/Shanghai

  Step 1

  For each bill of lading you list, check release and payment status.

  Step 2

  Keep the containers whose 支付状态 is 待支付.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per bill, with container numbers and application status.

• Containers gone out of the gate, posted to your TMS

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour

  Step 1

  For each bill of lading you list, get the release and gate-out details.

  Step 2

  Keep the containers whose gate-out details were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with serial number and gate-out details, to your TMS webhook.

• Cancelled releases to re-apply

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 14:00, Asia/Shanghai

  Step 1

  For each bill of lading you list, check release and payment status.

  Step 2

  Keep the containers whose 申请状态 changed to 已取消 since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you each one so someone can re-apply with the new release information.

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 “Check release and payment status” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.eporthub.com/get_release_status",
    "input": {
      "bill_of_lading": "NWBL26110482",
      "so_number": "SO7731205"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "bill_of_lading": "NWBL26110482",
    "so_number": "SO7731205",
    "containers": [
      {
        "container_number": "ACMU2104837",
        "application_status": "已放箱",
        "payment_status": "待支付",
        "serial_number": null
      },
      {
        "container_number": "ACMU2104851",
        "application_status": "已取消",
        "payment_status": "待支付",
        "serial_number": null
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

易港通’s own options

易港通's menu lists API产品 (API products), and forwarders can send pre-arrival container data through a web service interface (货代ws接口对接) or an Excel template upload. Container release, payment and pickup serial numbers are handled on the website or the H5 mobile pages, and drivers use the 易港通司机端 app.

Read on November 12, 2026: 易港通平台 home page and announcements, Container release guide for 易港通 (published by a carrier), 易港通司机端 on the App Store.

Signing in to 易港通

易港通 gives each company a main account (主账号) with sub-accounts (子账号), and both must pass real-name verification. The H5 mobile pages sign in with a phone number and a verification code. With Fous you sign in once through 易港通's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Changed release information voids the serial

When release information changes, the old serial number is void and you apply again. The old application's status becomes 已取消, so a workflow can watch for it.

Apply, pay, then the barcode

Applying sets the container to 已放箱 with 支付状态 待支付. The 刷箱费 is 1 yuan per container. The pickup barcode downloads after payment, and the driver can use it once the crane fee (吊机费) is paid.

Real-name verification gates the work

Companies verify on the main account under 商家中心 > 店铺管理 > 店铺详情, and each sub-account verifies under 个人中心 > 实名认证. Without it, business on the platform is restricted.

Pre-arrival data comes before pre-entry

Forwarders upload 预进港信息 before drivers pre-enter laden containers for the gate. Fields marked * in the Excel template are required, and a corrected file is uploaded again.
