Automate ipage 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.

• Special-order titles back in stock

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Check stock for the EANs on your special-order list.

  Step 2

  Keep the titles that show stock now and did not on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you each title with its EAN, format and the warehouses that have it.

• Yesterday's invoices and credit memos to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each ship-to account, get the invoices and credit memos dated yesterday.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post each document's type, number, date, order reference and amount to your accounting system's webhook.

• Weekly open orders and returns report

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each ship-to account, check order and returns status for the last 30 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the orders and returns whose status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Group them by status with an AI step and email you the report.

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 stock for a list of EANs” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \

      ]

      }
    ],
    "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.

Ipage’s own options

Ingram documents no API for ipage itself. It sells stock, bibliographic and image data by FTP or Web Service as Data Services, priced by package and delivery method, and takes orders by EDI and through major POS systems. Invoices, credit memos, order and returns status are in ipage.

Signing in to ipage

ipage asks for your user ID and a case-sensitive password, then a multi-factor step: a code by SMS, phone call or email, or Google or Microsoft Authenticator. It asks again every 30 days and on a new device. With Fous you sign in once through ipage's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, two-step sign-in by emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Access rights decide what a method can read

The Ordering role places orders but does not see invoices. Accounts Payable sees invoices and credit memos and creates returns. Only Administrators add users, so pick the account's role to fit the methods you build.

One account per shipping location

Each branch or shop that orders needs its own Ingram account. A user can be given several ship-to accounts with one set as default, so methods take the ship-to account as an input.

Bookkeepers see only their own ship-to account

A user with the Bookkeeper role reads invoices, credit memos and order status for their own ship-to account number only, even where the store has several.

Bulk title data is a separate subscription

Full stock and bibliographic files come from Data Services: stock daily and bibliographic and image data weekly by FTP. ipage checks titles you search for.
