Automate the Lyreco Webshop 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.

• Pending orders for your approvers, every morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the pending orders awaiting approval, with each order's product list.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Email you the orders, with originator, products and total, ready for an approver to review.

• Delivery status changes on recent orders

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 14:00

  Step 1

  Get the order history for the past 14 days.

  Step 2

  For each order, check its delivery status in Check delivery details.

  Step 3

  Keep the orders whose Status detail changed since the last run.

  Step 4

  Post order number, order date, originator and status detail to your Slack or ERP webhook.

• Last month's orders by originator, for accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Monthly, on the 1st at 7:00

  Step 1

  Get the order history placed since the first day of last month.

  Step 2

  Keep last month's placed orders and group them by order originator with an AI step.

  Step 3

  Post each originator's order numbers, order dates, approvers and total order value to your accounting 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 “Get order history” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.lyreco.com/get_order_history",
    "input": {
      "delivery_address": "Acme, 3rd floor",
      "placed_since": "2026-11-01"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "delivery_address": "Acme, 3rd floor",
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "70418265",
        "order_date": "2026-11-10",
        "pending": true,
        "order_originator": "Reception desk",
        "approver": "Office manager",
        "attention_of": "Facilities",
        "total_order_value": 4870,
        "currency": "THB"
      }
    ],
    "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.

The Lyreco Webshop’s own options

Lyreco connects the Webshop's e-Catalogue to a customer's own procure-to-pay system by PunchOut, through its e-business team, and takes EDI orders from customers set up for them. Its help centre describes no public API. In the Webshop, Order History exports to Excel, and invoice and delivery documents are sent by email on request.

Signing in to the Lyreco Webshop

The Webshop asks for a user ID, usually the email address registered on your company account, sometimes your account number or a department name, and a password. A forgotten password is replaced by a temporary one sent by email. With Fous you sign in once through the Webshop'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

Copies arrive by email, not on screen

In the Documents menu you search for an invoice, credit note or PDF Proof of Delivery and request it, and the copy is emailed to you within a few minutes.

Administrators see more

Only an Administrator login sees Pending orders and the Order originator, approver and attention of details in Order History. Build approval and spend methods with that login.

Check which platform your account is on

In the UK, Lyreco runs a new platform at shop.lyreco.co.uk beside the original Webshop at www.lyreco.com/webshop/ENEN/, with a different layout. Build methods on the one your account signs in to.

One account, several delivery addresses

Lyreco generally keeps one main account per registration or VAT number, with delivery addresses linked to it. You pick the address in Switch Account, so a method can take it as an input.
