Automate Paymode 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.

• Tomorrow's Premium ACH remittance, posted to your AR system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  List the Premium ACH payments shown as arriving in the next 24 hours.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  For each payment, get its remittance detail.

  Step 4

  Post payer, amount and every invoice line to your ERP or AR system's webhook.

• Weekly payments received, grouped by payer

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the payments received in the last 7 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the payments that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Group them by payer and payment type with totals.

  Step 4

  Email you the summary.

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 received payments” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "secure.paymode.com/get_received_payments",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-11-02",
      "to_date": "2026-11-11",
      "payer": "Acme"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "payments": [
      {
        "payer": "Acme",
        "payment_date": "2026-11-10",
        "payment_type": "Premium ACH",
        "amount": 18420.5,
        "currency": "USD",
        "status": "Paid",
        "invoices_paid": 6
      }
    ],
    "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.

Paymode’s own options

Bottomline's Paymode APIs are built for payers, to initiate and manage payments from their own systems. The developer portal describes no API for vendors. Vendors see remittance in the portal; email remittance, scheduled reports, CTX files to their bank and custom AR files by SFTP come with Premium membership.

Signing in to Paymode

Paymode signs you in at secure.paymode.com with a username and password, and Bottomline says multi-factor authentication protects every login, account change and bank information update. With Fous you sign in once through Paymode's own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Remittance comes before the money

Paymode emails remittance detail one business day before a payment is received, and the portal shows Premium ACH payments coming in the next 24 hours. A morning run can post remittance before the deposit lands.

Reports and files are Premium features

Email remittance, scheduled reports, CTX and custom AR files come with Premium membership. Premium ACH carries a per-payment network fee shown at enrollment, taken by direct debit the next month or from the payment.

One account, many payers

You can receive payments from several payers on the Paymode network through one enrollment, and My Payers tracks your largest customers. A method can take the payer as an input.

Bank changes ask for extra steps

Adding or changing a bank account in Paymode prompts several authentication steps, and any change to account information triggers re-verification of your business.
