Automate Interactive Network 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.

  • Changed parts order status codes, every morning

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:00
    Step 1
    Check parts order status for orders accepted in the last 30 days.
    Step 2
    Keep the orders whose status code changed since the last run, such as HOLD, DENY or REL/BOR.
    Step 3
    Email you the list with Reference No, VIN, status code and ship date.

  • New iN messages, summarized for the service team

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 7:30
    Step 1
    Read the new iN messages.
    Step 2
    Have an AI step summarize each one in two lines, grouped by sender.
    Step 3
    Post the summary, with each message's subject and expiry date, to your Slack webhook.

  • Weekly audio order list for core return tracking

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Monday at 8:00
    Step 1
    Search service transactions for the last 7 days with the Audio Order description.
    Step 2
    Keep the orders that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post each VIN, date and part number to your DMS or warehouse 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 parts order status” 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": "www.in.honda.com/check_parts_order_status",
    "input": {
      "accepted_since": "2026-10-13",
      "inquiry": "Cores/VIN"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "orders": [
      {
        "reference_no": "A47210",
        "core_type": "Navigation",
        "vin": "1HGCV2F30RA000101",
        "shipper": "Acme Remanufacturing",
        "ship_date": "2026-11-06",
        "qty": 1,
        "reman_serial_no": "RM8841207",
        "status": "REL/BOR",
        "techline_ref_no": null
      }
    ],
    "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.

Interactive Network’s own options

Honda's public documents describe no API for iN users. Retail delivery reports, financial statements, vehicle invoices, warranty claims and parts orders and returns move between Honda and a dealership's DMS through integrations Honda certifies with DMS vendors such as CDK. The rest is done on iN's own screens.

Signing in to Interactive Network

iN is American Honda's network for its Honda and Acura dealerships: its bulletins send dealership staff to an iN workstation, and its messages are addressed to roles such as service managers. With Fous you sign in once through iN's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Status codes come from two places
On Order Status Inquiry, RPO Tech Line sets PEND, HOLD, ERR, DENY and APPR, and AHM Parts Operations sets BO/TOS, CAN/BOC, ALO/BOA, REL/BOR and INV. A workflow can watch for either set.
Audio Order forms stay 60 days
A submitted Audio Order form stays on iN for 60 days, under SERVICE, Transactions. A weekly read keeps its repair order number and part number after the form is gone.
Late core returns carry penalties
Core Returns, under PARTS, Returns and Surplus, shows a Core Return Update Acknowledgement for each VIN. Honda's PIB A06-0001 covers penalties for returns after 30 days.
iN messages expire
Each iN message shows a Sent on and an Expires on date, and some ask to be printed for the shop foreman and service consultants. Reading them daily keeps a copy after they expire.

Frequently asked questions

Not one that Honda documents for dealership staff. Retail delivery reports, financial statements, vehicle invoices, warranty claims and parts orders reach Honda through integrations it certifies with DMS vendors such as CDK. Everything else is done on iN's screens.

Use Order Status Inquiry under PARTS, Parts Ordering. Enter a date in All Orders Accepted Since and choose Order Status Inquiry for Cores/VIN. Each order shows its Reference No, Core Type, VIN, Shipper, Ship Date, Qty, Reman Serial No, Status and Techline Ref No.

Yes, if your DMS has a Honda-certified integration. CDK, for example, lists one that transmits warranty claim data to Honda, along with parts ordering and returns and Retail Delivery Reporting. Ask your DMS vendor what it covers.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own iN account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.
