Automate PowerClerk 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.

• Projects that moved to a new status, every program

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each utility program you name, get the projects in the Projects list.

  Step 2

  Keep the projects whose current status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per program, with the new status and nearest deadline.

• Forms waiting on you, posted to your CRM

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each project you list, read its Current Status and the forms under Current Forms.

  Step 2

  Keep the forms whose button reads Begin or Continue.

  Step 3

  Post project number, status, form name and deadlines to your CRM webhook.

• Signatures still outstanding, weekly

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 9:00

  Step 1

  For each project you list, check its eSignature Status.

  Step 2

  Keep the projects with a signature that is not completed.

  Step 3

  Email you those projects with their signature status and latest communication.

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 projects in a program” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "powerclerk.com/get_projects",
    "input": {
      "program": "acme-energy.powerclerk.com",
      "status": "Engineering Review"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "program": "acme-energy.powerclerk.com",
    "projects": [
      {
        "project_number": "SOL-20418",
        "current_status": "Engineering Review",
        "nearest_deadline": "2026-11-20",
        "project_owner": "Northwind Solar",
        "system_size_kw_ac": 7.6
      },
      {
        "project_number": "SOL-20391",
        "current_status": "Engineering Review",
        "nearest_deadline": null,
        "project_owner": "Northwind Solar",
        "system_size_kw_ac": 11.4
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

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.

PowerClerk’s own options

Clean Power Research offers the PowerClerk API, which searches, retrieves and updates projects and their approval statuses. You request a key through PowerClerk's support ticket system, and for a production program the program's own Program Designer confirms it. Without a key you have each program's site, where project owners can export the Projects list to CSV.

Signing in to PowerClerk

PowerClerk signs you in with your username and password on each program's own site, and ten incorrect password attempts lock the account. With Fous you sign in once through PowerClerk's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never shown to code or AI agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Every utility program has its own address

Each program runs at its own address, https://{hostname}.powerclerk.com. A method takes the program's address as an input, and a workflow loops over your programs.

The program decides the columns

The Projects list shows the data fields a program picked in Project List Columns, so the columns can differ from one utility to the next.

DocuSign links lapse after 48 hours

Signers get an email from DocuSign. The link lapses after 48 hours and a fresh one is sent on click, and an unsigned envelope is voided after 365 days.

Ten wrong passwords lock the account

Ten incorrect password attempts, from any computer or browser, lock a PowerClerk account. Forgot Password opens it again, or the program can ask PowerClerk Support.
