Automate KinderConnect 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.

• Missing In or Out times from yesterday

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Find incomplete attendance for yesterday on Attendance > Detail.

  Step 2

  Stop when every child has both an In and an Out time.

  Step 3

  Email you the children, the date and which time is missing, so you correct them before each child's next day of care.

• Last month's attendance, ready for submittal

  Build this

  Starts

  Monthly on the 1st at 8:00

  Step 1

  Find incomplete attendance for every day of last month.

  Step 2

  Get the active cases (authorizations) on the last day of last month.

  Step 3

  Email you the children still to correct and the children with an active authorization, so attendance is submitted by the 10th.

• New and ended authorizations, sent to your system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 6:00

  Step 1

  Get the active cases (authorizations) for today.

  Step 2

  Keep the cases that are new or no longer there since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with child name and authorization dates, to your 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 “Find incomplete attendance” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "azcces.com/find_incomplete_attendance",
    "input": {
      "from": "2026-11-10",
      "to": "2026-11-11"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "from": "2026-11-10",
    "to": "2026-11-11",
    "incomplete": [
      {
        "child_name": "Ava R.",
        "date": "2026-11-10",
        "in_time": "07:42",
        "out_time": null,
        "problem": "missing out"
      }
    ],
    "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.

KinderConnect’s own options

KinderSystems offers KinderBridge, an API that takes attendance from a child care management system (CCMS) it has certified, such as Procare, Brightwheel or Playground. You ask KinderSystems Support for an ID and group password and enter them in your CCMS. Without a certified CCMS you work in KinderConnect itself, which exports attendance reports and transactions to CSV or PDF.

Signing in to KinderConnect

KinderConnect signs you in with the Username and Password you created at registration, and passwords are case sensitive. Registration uses a one-time verification code sent by DES. With Fous you sign in once through KinderConnect'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

Arizona and Texas run separate sites

Arizona's is at azcces.com/kinderconnect and Texas's at childcare.twc.texas.gov. This page follows Arizona's guides, so check the screens and rules of your own state's KinderConnect.

Submit by the 10th, once per child

In Arizona, attendance for a month is due no later than 10 calendar days after its last day. A child's attendance can be submitted once a month; anything more needs a supplemental billing form.

Incomplete attendance blocks submittal

A child with a missing In or Out time, or times out of sequence, shows in red with an Incomplete status and no Submit checkbox. Fix it on Attendance > Detail before the child's next day of care.

Only the Provider Administrator submits

In Arizona, the Provider Administrator role can create other operators at the location and submit attendance for payment, so a submitting method needs that account.
