Automate myDCLI 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.

• Open summary invoices for accounts payable

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the open invoices on the INVOICES tab of Manage Invoices.

  Step 2

  Keep the summary invoices with a remaining balance above zero.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by invoice type, with billing date, amount and remaining balance.

• Disputes that came back rejected or credited

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Get the invoice dispute history for the last 90 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the disputes whose status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with transaction number, chassis number and amounts, to your ERP or Slack webhook.

• Open DCLR reservations for dispatch

  Build this

  Starts

  Every day at 6:00

  Step 1

  Get the DCLR reservations in Reserved status.

  Step 2

  Keep the ones that expire within the next 24 hours.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with reservation number, reference number and expiration time.

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 open invoices” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "mydcli.com/get_open_invoices",
    "input": {
      "invoice_status": "Open",
      "billed_since": "2026-10-01"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "invoices": [
      {
        "summary_invoice_number": "SI-2026-104582",
        "invoice_type": "CMS Daily Use",
        "billing_date": "2026-11-02",
        "invoice_amount": 4862.5,
        "remaining_balance": 4862.5,
        "invoice_status": "Open"
      }
    ],
    "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.

MyDCLI’s own options

DCLI says it ingests and sends intermodal EDI and uses API technology to integrate with third-party platforms, but it publishes no API documentation or self-service access for customers. Its reports can also be viewed in Tableau with a Tableau login from DCLI. Everyday billing, disputes and reservations are done in myDCLI, where most tables export to CSV or Excel.

Signing in to myDCLI

myDCLI asks for your email address, then sends a multi-factor authentication code by email from myDCLI (via Microsoft) that you enter to sign in, with an optional Stay signed in? step. With Fous you sign in once through myDCLI's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Your administrator grants each task

Paying an invoice or submitting a dispute needs functional access permissions, which your company's myDCLI administrator assigns. A method can do only what your login is allowed to.

Older invoices have no move-level balances

Open invoices issued on or before October 31, 2024 show Remaining Balance and Invoice Status only at summary level. Invoices from November 1, 2024 also show them for each move.

Some dispute reasons need more than a reason

Reasons such as Billing (Duplicate Charges) need a comment and Billing (Repo) a work order number. Reasons that need documentation cannot be mass uploaded, and a Closed - Rejected line can be redisputed only once.

Reservations last at most 72 hours

A DCLR reservation expires at the date and time you set, up to 72 hours ahead. Each chassis gets its own reservation number, confirmation email and 301 message.
