## Automate Conveyancer Zone 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.

### Charge registration tasks, by case handler

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. Get the charge registration tasks from the Case Management dashboard.
2. Group the cases by case handler and by list, with the delay reasons first.
3. Email you the grouped list with LMS reference, lender reference and client name.

### New mortgage offers and valuations, sent to your case system

Starts: Every hour

1. Get the documents available to download.
2. Keep the documents that were not there on the last run.
3. Post each one, with LMS reference, lender reference, client name and document name, to your webhook.

### Delay reasons chosen by your case handler, entered for you

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with an LMS reference, reason and expiry

1. Get the charge registration tasks and stop if the case is not in Charge registration delay reasons required.
2. Provide the delay reason and expiry date your case handler chose.
3. Post the LMS reference, reason and expiry date back 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](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get charge registration tasks” 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": "lms.com/get_charge_registration_tasks",
    "input": {}
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "tasks": [
      {
        "list": "Charge registration delay reasons required",
        "lms_reference": "LMS-4410287",
        "lender_reference": "NW-2290114",
        "client_name": "Client 1",
        "case_handler": "Case handler 2"
      }
    ],
    "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.

## Conveyancer Zone’s own options

LMS offers law firms an API for Document Distribution, so case documents can be collected in your own environment, and says eCOT can be submitted from your case management system. Secure Link, for lender queries and redemption statements, is a website and an API. LMS publishes no price or developer documentation for these: you ask LMS. Everything else is done in Conveyancer Zone.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Document Distribution API | Collects your case documents, such as mortgage offers, automatically without logging into Conveyancer Zone. | Integration arranged with LMS. No public documentation or price. |
| eCOT from your case management system | Submits an electronic certificate of title to the lender; LMS keeps a PDF of each submission. | A case management system that connects to LMS eCOT, or Conveyancer Zone with the right permissions. |
| Secure Link | Queries to lenders and redemption statement requests, through a website and an API. | The same LMS sign-in as Conveyancer Zone. LMS publishes no API documentation or price. |
| Conveyancer Zone by hand | Cases, lender documents, charge registration uploads and delay reasons, panel membership and users. | A Conveyancer Zone login, issued after your firm is approved onto a lender panel. No panel membership fee. |

## Signing in to Conveyancer Zone

Conveyancer Zone signs you in with a username and a password that must be changed every 30 days, and one LMS sign-in covers its other apps, such as Secure Link. LMS says it is changing its sign-in screens. With Fous you sign in through Conveyancer Zone'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

- **Delay reasons every 30 days**: If a lender's charge is not registered within 30 days of completion, you must give a delay reason at least every 30 days until it is. Missing it brings chase emails, and LMS may intervene at a cost and suspend panel membership.
- **Uploads go in order**: Charge registration documents vary by lender and may have to be uploaded in order: the priority or advance notice before the application to register. Some documents also need an expiry date.
- **Your access level decides what you see**: Users see cases in the office they are assigned to. Basic Users cannot submit certificates of title, and only Panel Link Membership Managers can open panel membership, so the account you connect sets a method's reach.
- **Some downloads ask for information first**: Some lenders want an estimated completion month before you can download a document. Documents you have already downloaded leave the dashboard list and stay on the case screen.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does LMS Conveyancer Zone have an API?

Not for the whole site. LMS offers law firms an API for Document Distribution and one for Secure Link, and says eCOT can be submitted from your case management system. Cases, charge registration uploads, delay reasons and panel membership are handled in Conveyancer Zone itself. LMS publishes no developer documentation or price.

### How do I see which cases need charge registration documents?

Look at the Case Management dashboard. It lists cases needing a priority or advance notice (OS1/OS2/K17), an application to register, registration documents or a charge registration delay reason. With Fous, a method can read those lists and a workflow can email them to you each morning.

### Can new mortgage offers reach our case management system automatically?

Yes, through LMS's Document Distribution API if you arrange it with LMS. With Fous, a workflow can read Documents available to download on a schedule and post each new mortgage offer or valuation's references to your system's webhook.

### How often do we have to renew lender panel membership?

Every 12 months. LMS gives notice one month before expiry, and a Panel Link Membership Manager re-accepts the terms and addendums in Conveyancer Zone.

### Is Fous affiliated with LMS?

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

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of LMS Conveyancer Zone (LMS (Legal Marketing Services Ltd)). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
