Automate PPL 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.

• New quote responses on your open contracts

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00 London time

  Step 1

  For each contract you list, get the underwriter responses from its Overview tab.

  Step 2

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

  Step 3

  Email you the list by contract, with underwriter, status, quoted lines, premium and quote expiry date.

• Conditional acceptances posted to your own system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour on weekdays

  Step 1

  For each Firm Order contract you list, check the Firm Order responses.

  Post each one, with underwriter, written line, stamp and subjectivities, to your system's webhook.

• Quotes about to expire

  Build this

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 underwriter responses to a quote” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "pplnextgen.com/get_quote_responses",
    "input": {
      "contract": "Acme Marine Cargo 2027",
      "team": "Marine"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "contract": "Acme Marine Cargo 2027",
    "version": "v01",
    "sub_type": "Enquiry",
    "responses": [
      {
        "underwriter_company": "Northwind Syndicate",
        "status": "Expression of Interest",
        "max_quoted_line": 25,
        "min_quoted_line": 15,
        "premium": {
          "currency": "USD",
          "amount": 180000
        },
        "quote_expiry_date": "2026-11-30",
        "subjectivities": [
          "Survey report before inception"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

PPL’s own options

PPL offers APIs for market firms' own systems: Placement, Submission, Submission Pack, Document and Event APIs covering the placement from quotation to firm order and endorsements. Each firm is onboarded by the PPL team and to the LIMOSS API Gateway first, and the developer portal is in beta testing by market participants.

Signing in to PPL

You sign in to PPL on its own PPL Login page with your PPL Next Gen user account, and PPL shows that page again when your login has expired. One email address can belong to several companies, and you switch between them with the Team drop-down. With Fous you sign in once through PPL's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and code and AI agents never see it.

Worth knowing

Work belongs to a team and a company

You see only the work of the companies you have a team in, and you switch with the Team drop-down. A method you build can take the team when you belong to more than one.

Responses follow the contract version

Create new version turns a quote into v02. Quote and Firm Order responses on the same contract version are viewed from the Overview tab.

Team roles decide who may act

Only a Placing Underwriter can send an endorsement response to the placing broker, and only a Placing Broker can have contracts reassigned to them.

Planned downtime is published

PPL publishes a planned downtime calendar with change freezes on its platform releases page, so schedule workflows around those dates.
