Automate Meta Business Suite 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.

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 ad charges from Payment activity” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "business.facebook.com/get_ad_charges",
    "input": {
      "ad_account": "Acme Retail Ads",
      "start_date": "2026-10-01",
      "end_date": "2026-10-31"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "ad_account": "Acme Retail Ads",
    "ad_account_id": "act_4815162342",

        "currency": "USD",
        "billing_reason": "Payment threshold reached",
        "campaigns": [
          "Autumn sale, prospecting"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "total": 812.47,
    "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.

Meta Business Suite’s own options

Meta's Marketing API manages campaigns and returns ad performance through the Insights API, for apps you register as a developer. Apps start with Limited Access, meant for development, and get Full Access after App Review. The API's invoice object is for accounts on monthly invoicing. Receipts for ad charges and account issues are in Meta Business Suite itself.

Signing in to Meta Business Suite

Meta Business Suite signs you in with your Facebook account. Two-factor authentication asks for a security key, a code from an authentication app or a text message code on a browser Meta does not recognize, and a business portfolio can require it of everyone. With Fous you sign in through Meta's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

Receipts are per ad account, on desktop

You pick the ad account in Accounts before Payment activity shows its charges. Receipts need full control of the ad account in a portfolio, or admin permission in Ads Manager, and the feature is desktop only.

Monthly invoicing has its own screen

With a monthly invoicing credit line, invoices and payments are under Invoices in Billing & payments. Viewing them needs full control of the portfolio and finance access, and a month-end invoice locking banner can stay until the 5th.

Reviews of restrictions are limited

Only an admin on the account can request a review. There is a limited number of review requests, the decision is final, and a review typically takes 48 hours. Ads stopped by a restriction do not restart on their own.

Two-factor authentication can gate publishing

Advertisers may have to complete two-factor authentication to publish ads, and without it Meta may restrict advertising access or remove a payment method.
