Turn myCHEP into an API

Automate myCHEP 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.

• Yesterday's declarations, totalled each morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the declared movements with yesterday's dispatch date.

  Step 2

  Group them by receiver and add up the quantity of each equipment type.

  Step 3

  Email you the totals, so a missing dispatch can still be declared within the day CHEP recommends.

• Tomorrow's deliveries and collections, to the warehouse

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 15:00

  Step 1

  List the orders and collections in the calendar for tomorrow.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post order number, type, location, equipment, quantity and ETA to your warehouse system's webhook.

• New CHEP invoices, handed to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Check invoices dated in the last 7 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the ones not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post invoice number, date, due date, amount and status to your accounting system's 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 declared movements” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "my.chep.com/get_declared_movements",
    "input": {
      "dispatch_date_from": "2026-11-05",
      "dispatch_date_to": "2026-11-11"
    }
  }'

        "quantity": 48
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

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.

MyCHEP’s own options

CHEP offers EDI for orders, collections, declarations, corrections and invoices, sent over SFTP or AS2 in EDIFACT formats or CHEP Global Format, with no charge for integration or maintenance. myCHEP also takes declarations one at a time or as a bulk import from Excel. CHEP's pages describe no public API for reading myCHEP's data.

Signing in to myCHEP

myCHEP signs people in on CHEP's Okta sign-in page with a username and password, and CHEP gives new customers their access. With a method, you sign in once through that page with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs. When the session expires, the method signs back in.

Worth knowing

Declare on the day of dispatch

CHEP recommends declaring on the day of dispatch or at the latest one day after, to keep the daily hire charge as low as possible.

Ten days without declarations

If CHEP receives no declarations from you for 10 consecutive days, its system sends an automatic reminder, whether you declare in myCHEP or by EDI.

EDI movements show up in myCHEP

Movements declared by EDI are visible in myCHEP, so one read of the portal covers both channels. Corrections can be made by hand in myCHEP or by EDI.

New receivers need no setup

When you declare a delivery to a location CHEP has not mapped yet, CHEP matches the new location itself once the first declaration arrives.
