## Automate KDealer+ with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) 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.

### Campaign check on every unit before delivery

Starts: When your DMS calls the workflow's webhook with a VIN at deal time

1. Check Campaign Information for the VIN.
2. Keep the recalls and service actions that are not completed.
3. Post the VIN with each open campaign number and description to your DMS or Slack webhook.

### Weekly Not Completed Recall review

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. For each campaign number you name, get the Not Completed Recall report.
2. Compare with the last run: VINs no longer listed were repaired, new VINs were added.
3. Email you both lists, one section per campaign, with the count still open.

### New Service Releases for the shop

Starts: Every weekday at 6:30

1. List the Service Releases published since the last run.
2. Stop when there are none.
3. Use an AI step to group them by model and email you the list with bulletin numbers and titles.

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 “Check campaign status for a VIN” 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.kdealer.com/check_campaign_status",
    "input": {
      "vin": "5XXG0000000000001"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vin": "5XXG0000000000001",
    "campaigns": [
      {
        "campaign_number": "SC9001",
        "type": "Service Action",
        "description": "Network reset after dealer mode transition",
        "repair_status": "Not completed"
      },
      {
        "campaign_number": "SC9002",
        "type": "Recall",
        "description": "Software update, integrated control unit",
        "repair_status": "Completed"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

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.

## KDealer+’s own options

Kia America publishes no API for KDealer+. Retail delivery reporting, financial statements and vehicle invoices move between Kia and your dealer management system through integrations that DMS providers such as CDK build for Kia. Campaign status, recall reports and Service Releases are read in KDealer+ itself.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| DMS integration with Kia | Sends retail delivery and vehicle sales data and financial statements to Kia, and imports Kia vehicle invoices into the DMS. | A DMS whose provider offers the Kia integration, such as CDK. |
| Kia Leads Program in a certified CRM | Delivers Kia Leads Program leads into the dealership's CRM. | A CRM certified for the Kia Leads Program, such as CDK's. |
| KDealer+ by hand | Warranty Coverage Inquiry and Campaign Information by VIN, Not Completed Recall reports, Service Releases and Infotainment Updates. | A KDealer+ User ID and password. |

## Signing in to KDealer+

KDealer+ signs dealership staff in with a User ID and password on Kia's sign-in page, with separate links to recover either one. Kia corporate and partner users have a sign-in of their own. With Fous you sign in once through KDealer+'s own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and a method reads only what your account can.

## Worth knowing

- **Open campaigns can block delivery**: Kia's recall bulletins tell retailers not to deliver an affected vehicle until it is repaired, and point to Campaign Information in KDealer+ for each VIN's repair status. Check every unit before it leaves.
- **Create the VDN before parts and claims**: For some repairs Kia requires a Vehicle Diagnosis Number first. Without one, its bulletins warn, parts ordering and warranty claim submission run into problems and claims face review and chargeback.
- **Claim photos come from the KDS tablet**: Kia's bulletins have technicians attach diagnostic photos to the warranty claim with the KDS tablet's Warranty Claim Attachment tab.
- **Printed bulletins are for reference only**: Kia's bulletins say a printed copy may be out of date and to use KGIS. After logging in to kdealer.com, Service Releases lists the newest technical publications.
