Automate PINACLE 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.

  • Previous Day cash position, every morning

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 8:00
    Step 1
    Get the Previous Day report for every account you name.
    Step 2
    An AI step totals the balances and lists the largest debits and credits per account.
    Step 3
    Email you the summary with each account's ledger and available balance.
  • Check Positive Pay exceptions waiting for a decision

    Build this

    Every weekday at 9:00
    Step 1
    List today's Check Positive Pay exceptions on the accounts you name.
    Step 2
    Stop when there are none.
    Step 3

  • Intraday transactions, posted to your ERP

    Build this
    Starts
    Every hour
    Step 1
    Get the Current Day report for the accounts you name.

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 the Current Day report” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "treasury.pncbank.com/get_current_day_report",
    "input": {
      "accounts": [
        "1012345678"
      ]
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "accounts": [
      {
        "account_number": "1012345678",
        "account_name": "Acme Operating",
        "available_balance": 1284310.55,
        "float": 18240,
        "transactions": [
          {

            "amount": 250000,
            "description": "Northwind Traders invoice 4471",
            "bank_reference": "W2611120193"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

Signing in to PINACLE

PINACLE signs users in with a Company User ID, an Operator ID and a password, set up by your company's two system administrators. Services that move money, such as ACH and wires, also ask for a token passcode from the PINACLE Pass app. With Fous you sign in once through PINACLE's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

Administrators decide what each user sees
Two system administrators, Admin1 and Admin2, create users and assign modules and accounts. A method sees only the modules, such as Image On-Demand, that your user has been given.
Positive Pay is decided each business day
Check Positive Pay exceptions get a pay or return decision in PINACLE. Exceptions you do not decide that business day take your company's default decision.
Money movement needs a second approver
ACH and wire transactions in PINACLE need dual approval by a user other than the initiator, plus a PINACLE Pass token passcode, so reading reports is the natural place to start.
How far back the data goes
Previous Day history builds to two years, Special Reports are kept for two years and Image On-Demand holds up to seven years of paid check and deposit images.
