Automate PayCargo 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.

• Transactions still waiting for approval before the cutoff

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 16:00 New York time

  Step 1

  Get transactions in Created status for today.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with vendor, reference, amount and payment method, so an Approver can act before 6:00 PM EST.

• Processed and cleared payments, posted to accounting

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 10:00 New York time

  Step 1

  Get transactions from the last seven days in Processed or Cleared status.

  Step 2

  Keep the ones that changed status since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post transaction number, vendor, reference, amount, payment method and status to your ERP webhook.

• Weekly ACH reconciliation summary

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00 New York time

  Step 1

  Read the Shipper ACH Reconciliation Report for the previous Monday to Sunday.

  Step 2

  Summarize the amounts and fees per vendor.

  Step 3

  Email you the summary with the rows behind it.

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 transactions” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "pay.paycargo.com/get_transactions",
    "input": {
      "status": "Created",
      "from_date": "2026-11-10",
      "to_date": "2026-11-12"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "transactions": [
      {
        "transaction_number": "48213977",
        "vendor": "Northwind Container Terminal",
        "reference_type": "BOL",
        "reference_number": "NWCT2611004",
        "amount": 1245,
        "payment_method": "ACH (Overnight Debit)",
        "status": "Created",
        "created_date": "2026-11-12",
        "approved_date": null
      }
    ],
    "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.

PayCargo’s own options

PayCargo offers APIs with GET and POST calls to pull validated invoice amounts, submit payments and post reconciliation data to AP or AR systems, and lists EDI and SFTP too. Access goes through its sales team, with no price on the page. Its team can also tailor reports and schedule them to generate automatically.

Signing in to PayCargo

PayCargo signs you in with your username and password, and lists single sign-on and multi-factor authentication by email verification among its access options. With Fous you sign in once through PayCargo's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, emailed verification codes are handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

6:00 PM EST cutoff, weekdays only

You can approve payments at any hour, but they are processed by 6:00 PM EST, Monday to Friday, and not on bank holidays. A payment approved later is processed the next business day.

Create and approve are separate roles

An Inputter/Creator creates transactions but cannot approve them, a Proofer reviews, an Approver approves. Some integrated vendors need one user with both create and approve permissions.

Cancelling goes through Support

An Approved payment cannot be cancelled in the dashboard. Ask Support at least one hour before the cutoff; once Processed or Cleared, it becomes a refund request the vendor has 10 business days to answer.

Do not resubmit after Payment Failed

PayCargo asks you to contact Support before retrying a payment that shows Payment Failed, since a retry can put a temporary hold on part of your credit card balance.
