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 eVA orders, sent to your order desk Starts: Every weekday at 7:30 1. Get the orders listed under Orders, Acknowledge Orders. 2. Keep the orders that were not there on the last run. 3. Post each order's ID, PO or PCO, buying entity, Bill To, items and total to your ERP webhook. ### Morning summary of new bid leads Starts: Every weekday at 8:00 1. Get the opportunities in My Leads with their Info and Items tabs. 2. Keep the opportunities that were not there on the last run. 3. Group them by type and closing date and email you the summary. ### Draft responses still waiting to be submitted Starts: Every weekday at 14:00 1. List the draft responses in progress under Manage RFx's. 2. Stop when there are none. 3. Email you each draft with its RFx number, title and closing date. 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](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get orders” would look like. Example request: ``` curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "method": "supplier.cgieva.com/get_orders", "input": { "placed_since": "2026-11-09" } }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "orders": [ { "id": "PO-2026-118204", "order_type": "PO", "buying_entity": "Northwind County Public Schools", "bill_to": "Accounts Payable, 210 Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219", "items": "24 Each of Classroom chair, stackable", "total": 2856, "currency": "USD", "attachments": [ "Delivery instructions.pdf" ] } ], "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. ## EVA’s own options eVA's supplier pages document no API. Every order is in your eVA supplier account, and an email notification goes to your ordering address. Suppliers configured to receive orders into their own system get them by cXML. Bids, quotes, catalogs and account changes are done in eVA itself. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | cXML order delivery | Orders from Virginia buyers delivered into your own order system. eVA no longer delivers orders through the Ariba network. | A supplier account configured to receive orders by cXML. | | Order notification emails | A copy of each new order, sent to your ordering address email and to the contact the buyer picks. Confirming orders send no email. | A registered supplier account. Attachments and Pcard details are only in the account. | | Catalogs | Catalogs that buyers order from, managed and imported in your supplier account. | A registered supplier account. | | eVA by hand | Orders under Acknowledge Orders, My Leads, Manage RFx's, catalogs and your account's Addresses, Contacts and Documents & Certs. tabs. | Free registration, a user name and password for each contact. | Read on November 12, 2026: [eVA Update: How to Access Your eVA Orders](https://myemail.constantcontact.com/eVA-Update--How-to-Access-Your-eVA-Orders.html?aid=qEmpweZ_KAs&soid=1130152645047), [eVA Supplier Training Materials](https://eva.virginia.gov/supplier-training-materials.html), [eVA Account Maintenance for Suppliers](https://dgs.virginia.gov/globalassets/business-units/dps/documents/transition/a015_eva-account_maintenance_for_suppliers.pdf). ## Signing in to eVA eVA signs suppliers in at supplier.cgieva.com with a user name and password. Each contact on your account has their own login: you create the contact, eVA emails an invitation, and the contact sets a password and accepts the MOA the first time. With Fous you sign in once through eVA's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256. ## Worth knowing - **The email is not the whole order**: The notification carries a copy of the order, but attachments and decrypted purchase card details are only in your eVA supplier account. Confirming orders send no email at all. - **PCO or PO decides how you are paid**: An ID starting with PCO is paid by the buyer's purchase card, shown under Delivery & Payment, Pcard details; ask the buyer for the CVV. A PO means you invoice the Bill To address on the order. - **Payments do not run through eVA**: For an unpaid invoice you contact the buying entity named in the Bill To details. eVA Customer Care does not process those payments. eVA sends you its own invoice under its fee schedule. - **Some account changes need approval**: Changes to your TIN, tax address, company name or organization type go through an Information Change Request to eVA Vendor Support. The Addresses and Qualifications tabs update without one. ## More in Government: US state and local procurement - [PASSPort](https://fous.com/automate/passport.md) - [AASHTOWare Project Civil Rights & Labor](https://fous.com/automate/aashtoware-project-civil-rights-and-labor.md) - [BidNet Direct](https://fous.com/automate/bidnet-direct.md) - [Bonfire](https://fous.com/automate/bonfire.md) - [OpenGov Procurement](https://fous.com/automate/opengov-procurement.md) - [PlanetBids](https://fous.com/automate/planetbids.md) - [Cal eProcure](https://fous.com/automate/cal-eprocure.md) - [COMMBUYS](https://fous.com/automate/commbuys.md) - [MyFloridaMarketPlace Vendor Information Portal](https://fous.com/automate/myfloridamarketplace-vendor-information-portal.md) - [NC eProcurement](https://fous.com/automate/nc-eprocurement.md) - [SFS Vendor Portal](https://fous.com/automate/sfs-vendor-portal.md) Other industries: [Maryland Tax Connect](/automate/maryland-tax-connect), [GDOL Employer Portal](/automate/gdol-employer-portal), [Airgas](/automate/airgas), [e-staffing](/automate/e-staffing), [ABC Order](/automate/abc-order), [HealthEquity employer portal](/automate/healthequity-employer-portal). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does eVA have an API? Not one that eVA documents for suppliers. Orders are in your eVA supplier account and arrive by email notification, and suppliers configured for it receive them by cXML. Quotes, bids, catalogs and account changes are handled in eVA itself. ### Where do I find the card details for a PCO order? In your eVA supplier account, under Orders, Acknowledge Orders. Select the PCO number in the ID column, then Pcard details under Delivery & Payment. The CVV is not shown: you ask the buyer for it. ### How do I get paid for an eVA order? It depends on the prefix. A PCO order is paid by purchase card. For a PO you invoice the Bill To address, and you are paid by check, or electronically if you set up EDI with the Virginia Department of Accounts. ### Can I still see orders from before eVA's new platform? Yes, for the prior two years. eVA converted those orders to the new platform, and you can view and print them from your eVA supplier account. ### Is Fous affiliated with the Virginia Department of General Services? No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own eVA supplier account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of eVA (Virginia Department of General Services).
