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. ### Engineer competencies expiring in the next 90 days Starts: On the 1st of every month at 8:00 1. List your engineers and their competencies from the online account. 2. Keep the competencies that expire in the next 90 days. 3.

Get your business details and the alerts shown when you sign in. 2. Keep the alerts and the details that changed since the last run. 3.

List the engineers on your registration from the online account. 2. Keep the engineers missing from either list and those with no email address on file. 3. Post the differences to your HR or scheduling system's 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](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “List your engineers and competencies” 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": "gassaferegister.co.uk/list_engineers", "input": {} }' ``` Example response: ``` { "status": "completed", "data": { "registration_number": "000000", "engineers": [ { "name": "Engineer A", "email_on_file": true, "licence_card_number": "0000001", "card_start": "2026-04-01", "card_expiry": "2027-03-31", "competencies": { "CCN1": "2027-02-14", "CENWAT": "2026-12-03" } } ] } } ``` 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 Gas Safe online account’s own options Gas Safe Register's guidance to registered businesses describes one route for the online services: the online account at its sign-in page, where you notify gas work, renew, update business details and manage licence cards. Notifications can also be made by phone, and details changed by email, post or phone. The guidance describes no API or file upload. | Option | What it covers | What it takes | | --- | --- | --- | | Online work notification | Report Gas Work in the online account, with the Building Regulations Compliance certificate posted or emailed to the customer | An online account; £3.84 ex VAT per notification from 1 April 2026 | | Work notification by phone | The same notification made through Customer Services, with an email address for the certificate if you give one | £5.84 ex VAT per notification from 1 April 2026 | | Business detail changes by email, post or phone | Changes to addresses, trading title, ownership, responsible person and engineers | No fee stated; most changes must reach the Register within five days | | The online account, used by hand | Notifications, renewal, Business Details, Direct Debit, engineers, licence cards and the Resource Hub | A user ID per person, with a password and a code by text message or email | Read on November 12, 2026: [Registered Gas Engineer: 2026/27 fees](https://registeredgasengineer.co.uk/get-ready-to-renew-your-registration-2026-27-fees/), [Registered Gas Engineer: compliance certificates by email](https://registeredgasengineer.co.uk/compliance-certificates-can-now-be-sent-by-email/), [Registered Gas Engineer: are your business details up to date?](https://registeredgasengineer.co.uk/are-all-your-business-details-up-to-date/). ## Signing in to the Gas Safe online account The Gas Safe Register online account signs you in with a user ID and password, then a code sent by text message or email. Each person who notifies or renews for a business needs their own user ID. With Fous you sign in through the site's own sign-in with your own account. When your code comes by email, Fous handles it and signs back in when a session expires. ## Worth knowing - **One user ID per person, each with two steps**: If someone else notifies or renews for you, they set up two-step sign-in on their own user ID. The Register asks that a user ID is never shared. - **Notify within 30 days, England and Wales**: Heat-producing gas appliances and the heating and hot water systems connected to them are notified within 30 days of completion. There is no mandatory notification in Scotland or Northern Ireland. - **Emailed certificates need more details**: To email the compliance certificate you also give the first line of the address, town, postcode, contact details and a delivery reason. No paper copy is posted, and the email goes within four days. - **Competencies block renewal**: You cannot renew if a core competency such as CCN1 has expired. Certification bodies can take six weeks to tell the Register that a competency was added or renewed. ## More in Trades, field service and facilities - [Travis Perkins](https://fous.com/automate/travis-perkins.md) - [GreenSky merchant portal](https://fous.com/automate/greensky-merchant-portal.md) - [CorrigoPro](https://fous.com/automate/corrigopro.md) - [Housecall Pro](https://fous.com/automate/housecall-pro.md) - [Frontdoor Contractor Portal](https://fous.com/automate/frontdoor-contractor-portal.md) - [LennoxPros](https://fous.com/automate/lennoxpros.md) - [Carrier Enterprise](https://fous.com/automate/carrier-enterprise.md) - [Johnstone Supply](https://fous.com/automate/johnstone-supply.md) - [PowerClerk](https://fous.com/automate/powerclerk.md) - [Angi Pro](https://fous.com/automate/angi-pro.md) - [Thumbtack Pro](https://fous.com/automate/thumbtack-pro.md) - [Checkatrade](https://fous.com/automate/checkatrade.md) - [HD Supply](https://fous.com/automate/hd-supply.md) - [Ferguson](https://fous.com/automate/ferguson.md) - [Reece maX](https://fous.com/automate/reece-max.md) - [XactAnalysis](https://fous.com/automate/xactanalysis.md) - [SRS Roof Hub](https://fous.com/automate/srs-roof-hub.md) - [GC ONLINE PLUS](https://fous.com/automate/gc-online-plus.md) - [Enphase Installer Platform](https://fous.com/automate/enphase-installer-platform.md) - [Bunnings PowerPass](https://fous.com/automate/bunnings-powerpass.md) Other industries: [Taulia supplier portal](/automate/taulia-supplier-portal), [Xero Practice Manager](/automate/xero-practice-manager), [Justdial for Business](/automate/justdial-for-business), [NAPA PROLink](/automate/napa-prolink), [NNAnet](/automate/nnanet), [Paychex Flex](/automate/paychex-flex). ## Frequently asked questions ### Does Gas Safe Register have an API? Not one that it describes to registered businesses. Its guidance covers the online account, phone notifications, and email, post or phone for changes to business details. With Fous you build methods that read and act in your own online account. ### Is Fous affiliated with Gas Safe Register? No. Fous is an independent product. You sign in with your own Gas Safe Register account, and a method reads and does only what that account can. ### Can the Building Regulations Compliance certificate be emailed to the homeowner? Yes. When you notify an installation you can choose email, and the certificate is sent within four days, excluding bank holidays. No paper copy is posted when you choose email. ### Can someone in our office notify for the engineers? Yes, but with their own user ID. The Register asks everyone who manages notifications or renewal to set up two-step sign-in on their own phone or email, and not to share one user ID. ### What does a notification cost? From 1 April 2026 a work notification costs £3.84 ex VAT online and £5.84 ex VAT by phone, according to the fees the Register published for 2026/27. Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of Gas Safe Register online services (Gas Safe Register).
