Automate RightShip 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.

• Vets that changed status, every morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Get the vet requests on the Tasks page.

  Step 2

  Keep the vets whose status changed since the last run, such as In Progress to Awaiting Response or Acceptable.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with vet ID, vessel name, IMO, old status and new status.

• Vet decisions, posted to your chartering system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every hour

  Step 1

  Get the vet requests with status Acceptable or Unacceptable.

  Step 2

  Keep the vets that were not decided on the last run.

  Step 3

  For each, check the vet's outcome and rules.

  Step 4

  Post vet ID, IMO, status, outcome and the rules to your webhook.

• Weekly ratings check for your fleet

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 6:00

  Step 1

  For each IMO number you name, check the vessel's ratings.

  Step 2

  Keep the vessels whose Safety Score, GHG rating or inspection validity changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the changes, one line per vessel.

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 vet requests” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "platform.rightship.com/get_vet_requests",
    "input": {
      "status": "Awaiting Response"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "vets": [
      {
        "vet_id": "V-208114",
        "vessel_name": "Northwind Star",
        "imo": "9400001",
        "status": "Awaiting Response"
      },
      {
        "vet_id": "V-208097",
        "vessel_name": "Globex Pioneer",
        "imo": "9400002",
        "status": "Awaiting Response"
      }
    ]
  }
}

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.

RightShip’s own options

RightShip documents two sets of APIs: a Data Exchange API that reads vessel summaries, RightShip Inspections and vet records, and a Platform Integration API that submits vets and checks their status. Credentials are a client ID and secret that RightShip supplies once your account is provisioned. The Vetting API is requested through your RightShip account manager.

Signing in to RightShip

RightShip asks you to set up multi-factor authentication when you log in: an authenticator app or a 6-digit code by SMS. You stay on the method you chose until you reset it in My Account. With Fous you sign in through RightShip's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

A confirmed vet cannot be amended

Once you confirm a vet request it cannot be changed. To cancel a vet, add documents or update ship manager details, you use Contact RightShip Operations on the vet.

Awaiting Response waits on someone else

A vet in Awaiting Response is waiting for information from a third party, such as the ship owner. A vet left open too long becomes Expired.

Vet submission is queued

Through RightShip's own API, a new vet returns an identifier first and is created afterwards, so you check its status with a second call.

List alerts go by email

List alerts go by email to the recipients set on each alert, and recipients cannot opt out themselves. A vessel list exports to .xlsx from its more menu.
