Automate WebAccess 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.

• Import containers ready for pickup, before dispatch

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 6:00 (America/New_York)

  Step 1

  For each container on your import list, check container availability at its facility.

  Step 2

  Keep the containers that are available now and were not available on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with equipment ID, facility and any status messages.

• Yesterday's gate trouble messages, sent to dispatch

  Build this

  Starts

  Every day at 7:00 (America/New_York)

  Step 1

  Get yesterday's truck transactions for your trucking company at each facility.

  Step 2

  Keep the transactions that have trouble messages.

  Step 3

  Post transaction number, truck ID, equipment ID and the messages to your webhook.

• Containers discharged to the yard, posted to your TMS

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour

  Step 1

  For each container on your import list, get container details.

  Step 2

  Keep the containers whose position changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post equipment ID, line, status and position to your TMS 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 “Check container availability” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "webaccess.gaports.com/check_container_availability",
    "input": {
      "facility": "GCT",
      "containers": [
        "ACMU4829176",
        "NWDU3051184"
      ],
      "trucking_company": "ANY"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "facility": "GCT",
    "pickup_date": "2026-11-12",
    "containers": [
      {
        "equipment_id": "ACMU4829176",
        "available": true,
        "status_messages": []
      },
      {
        "equipment_id": "NWDU3051184",
        "available": false,
        "status_messages": [
          "Container has not been released by the line"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

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.

WebAccess’s own options

On its Customer Experience page, the Georgia Ports Authority lists API connectivity for automated exchange of operational data with ocean carriers, truckers, BCOs and tech providers, with no documentation or request process. For PINs, its WebAccess manual describes a file transfer set up with GPA's IT team. Everything else is WebAccess itself.

Signing in to WebAccess

WebAccess first asks which facility you want, then for your username and password. The sign-on and password come from GPA after you register, within up to 24 business hours. With Fous you sign in once through WebAccess's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Each facility is separate

Reporting in WebAccess is facility specific, and a PIN carries a terminal prefix such as GCT or OT. A container pinned at the wrong facility returns an error, so a method takes the facility as an input.

PINs last 72 hours

A pre-advise PIN is valid for 72 hours. WebAccess does not pre-fill the pre-advise forms, and container numbers go in without spaces and with the check digit.

Notify only looks forward

A Notify email covers only an event you requested before it happened. For events already past, such as an earlier gate-out, read Container History instead.

Position letters

In Container Detail, a V position means the container is still on the vessel, Y in the yard, T on a truck and R on a train.
