Automate the Henry Schein site 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.

• Orders waiting for an approver, every morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  List the orders in Pending Approval on the Unplaced Orders page.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Email you each order's submitted on date, created by, location, summary and awaiting approver.

• Order status changes for each location

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 16:00

  Step 1

  For each location you name, get the orders on Order Status from the last 14 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the order lines whose status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with PO number, item code, quantities and invoice number, to your inventory system's webhook.

• Open invoices handed to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Get the related invoices of the latest statement in Statements & Invoices.

  Step 2

  Keep the invoices with an open amount above zero.

  Step 3

  Post invoice number, date, due date, shipping account number, gross and open amount to your accounting 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 order status” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "henryschein.com/get_order_status",
    "input": {
      "location": "Northwind Dental, Suite 200",
      "from": "2026-11-02",
      "to": "2026-11-11"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "location": "Northwind Dental, Suite 200",
    "orders": [
      {
        "reference_po": "PO-20481",
        "order_number": "58201734",
        "order_date": "2026-11-09",
        "items": 1,
        "order_total": 167.8,
        "status": "Shipped",
        "lines": [
          {
            "description": "Nitrile exam gloves, medium, 200/box",
            "item_code": "4410288",
            "ordered_qty": 4,
            "shipped_qty": 4,
            "invoice_number": "71820455",
            "invoice_date": "2026-11-09",
            "status": "Shipped"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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 Henry Schein site’s own options

Henry Schein runs an API Developer Portal. Its API is used under an API License Agreement, for one application Henry Schein approves in advance. Henry Schein Special Markets helps customers set up PunchOut, cXML, EDI and ERP integrations through its supply chain team. A practice ordering on the website itself has its screens, PDF statements and invoices, and about 25 reports.

Signing in to the Henry Schein site

The Henry Schein site signs you in with a User ID and password. User profiles are managed under My Account > Site Administration > User Profiles, and a forgotten User ID is sent to the profile's email. With Fous you sign in once through the site's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never shown to code or agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

One location at a time

Order Status shows the orders placed for your current location, and Switch Office changes it. A method you build can take the location as an input, and a workflow can loop over your locations.

Reports need the Reporting Access Right

The Backorder Report and the other reports under My Account > Orders > Reporting are open to users with the Reporting Access Right. Two years of web data are kept online; older data comes from your Sales Consultant.

Invoices open as PDF

On Order Status Detail, Invoice opens the invoice as a PDF, and View statement details shows the statement as a PDF. The related invoices list carries the dates and amounts as text.

Unplaced is not submitted

An order in Unplaced Orders has not been sent to Henry Schein for processing yet. Orders created by others wait in Pending Approval until an approver selects Approve.
