Automate myKN 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.

• Shipments off plan, every morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Get your shipments that are not yet delivered, with planned and achieved dates and alerts.

  Step 2

  Keep the shipments whose planned arrival changed since the last run or that carry a critical alert.

  Step 3

  Email you the list grouped by mode of transport, with reference, route, previous and new planned arrival.

• Arrival changes sent to your warehouse system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour

  Step 1

  Get your shipments in transit with their planned arrival.

  Step 2

  Keep the shipments whose planned arrival changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post reference, destination, old and new arrival to your warehouse or ERP webhook.

• New documents on open shipments

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 16:00

  Step 1

  Get your shipments that are not yet delivered.

  Step 2

  For each shipment, list the documents on its Documents tab.

  Step 3

  Keep the documents that were not there on the last run and email you the list by shipment.

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 shipments” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \

  }'

        },
        "alerts": [
          {
            "level": "critical",
            "text": "Planned arrival moved by 3 days"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "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.

MyKN’s own options

Kuehne+Nagel offers APIs for air and road bookings, shipment, container and order status, documents and emissions, and EDI interfaces for status, freight invoices, documents and transport orders. Both need enrolment: you contact Kuehne+Nagel to set them up. myKN itself costs nothing to use.

Read on November 12, 2026: myKN Help Center: Connectivity, Kuehne+Nagel API developer portal: ShipmentTracking, myKN.

Signing in to myKN

myKN signs you in with your email address and password, and a forgotten password is reset by email. You register with your email address and a verification code sent to it. With Fous you sign in once through myKN'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

The API shows what myKN shows

Kuehne+Nagel describes its ShipmentTracking API as reflecting the visibility in myKN. A method on myKN reads the same shipments your account sees in Track.

Stages differ by mode of transport

Track maps milestones and statuses separately for each mode of transport. Keep the mode of transport in every result before you compare air, sea and road shipments.

References decide what you can find

You can configure the main reference shown in Track, and references added during a booking are how you find that shipment in Track later. Use the same references in your own system.

Freight invoices by EDI arrive within 24 hours

Kuehne+Nagel's XML Freight Invoice mirrors the paper invoice down to charge line level. It is sent at the latest 24 hours after the date of issue and can be resent on request.
