## Automate RouteOne with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) 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 finance source decisions, posted to Slack

Starts: Every 15 minutes

1. Get the decisions in Deal Manager.
2. Keep the decisions that changed since the last run.
3. For a Conditioned decision, read the stipulations on its Decision Summary page.
4. Post applicant, finance source, decision and stipulations to your Slack webhook.

### Open stipulations, every morning

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. Get the deals in Deal Manager with a Conditioned decision.
2. For each deal, read the Stipulations/Conditions and document statuses on its Decision Summary page.
3. Group the open stipulations by finance source and email you the list.

### Weekly decision and funding mix, by finance source

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. Run the Decision and Funding Analysis report for the previous 7 days.
2. Have an AI step summarize approval mix and decision time by finance source.
3. Email you the summary and post the rows to your reporting webhook.

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](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get decisions from Deal Manager” 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": "routeone.net/get_deal_manager_decisions",
    "input": {
      "decision": "Conditioned"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "deals": [
      {
        "applicant": "Jordan Sample",
        "finance_sources": [
          {
            "name": "Northwind Auto Finance",
            "decision": "Conditioned"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "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.

## RouteOne’s own options

RouteOne offers its On-Demand APIs to integrated technology providers through its Strategic Partner Team. A dealership works in RouteOne itself, runs reports that save as CSV, and connects its DSP or DMS for credit applications and eContracting. The core product is free to dealerships.

| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| RouteOne On-Demand APIs | Credit applications and decisions, payment calculations, compliance, aftermarket selection, eContracting and document exchange. | Being an integrated technology provider. Arranged with RouteOne's Strategic Partner Team. |
| DSP/DMS integrations | Credit applications and eContracts moved between RouteOne and a listed DSP, for example with Export Application to DSP or an eContract from a DMS import. | A DSP that RouteOne lists as integrated, added by your Dealer System Administrator under Admin, Credit Bureau/DSP. |
| Reports | Decision and Funding Analysis, Dealer Reserve, Contract Funding and other reports, saved as CSV. | A RouteOne user ID. Group reporting is free and needs a Major Account/Group Participation Agreement. |
| RouteOne by hand | Deal Manager, Decision Summary pages, eContracting and the Reports tab, one screen at a time. | A RouteOne user ID at an enrolled dealership. The core product is free; eContracting is a Premium Service. |

## Signing in to RouteOne

RouteOne signs each person in with their own RouteOne user ID and password, created by the dealership's Dealer System Administrator with that person's permissions. A forgotten password is reset by a temporary password sent to the user's private email address. With Fous you sign in once through RouteOne's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

## Worth knowing

- **Reports are generated, then collected**: A report run from the Reports Menu appears under Output for that report type, listed by date and time, and stays accessible for 24 hours. Reports save as CSV.
- **Document status changes only on Update**: Stipulation documents show Pending while they are sent, then Sent with a timestamp or Error. The status does not update on its own: you select Update on the Decision Summary page.
- **Upload limits for stipulations**: Up to 10 files at a time, each at most 2MB, as .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .pdf, with no special characters in the file name.
- **Deal Refresh goes to the same lender**: Deal Refresh resubmits changed vehicle, transaction type or contract information only to the finance source it went to before. Applicant information cannot change, and not every finance source supports it.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does RouteOne have an API?

Yes, for integrated technology providers: RouteOne's On-Demand APIs cover credit applications and decisions, eContracting, compliance and document exchange, arranged through its Strategic Partner Team. A dealership uses RouteOne itself, its CSV reports and the DSP/DMS integrations it turns on.

### Where do I see the stipulations a finance source returned?

On the Decision Summary page, which opens when you click the decision status for a customer in Deal Manager. Comments, Stipulations/Conditions and an LTV Grid appear there when the finance source returns them, and earlier decisions are under Decision History.

### Can I export RouteOne reports?

Yes, as CSV. Run a report from the Reports tab, then open it under Output in the Reports Menu within 24 hours. Decision and Funding Analysis can look back 25 months, and the Dealer Reserve report covers the current month or one of the six prior months.

### Why can't I send a credit application to a finance source?

The connection to that finance source may not be Active yet. Each finance source connection is Active, Pending, Requested or Inactive, and credit applications go only to finance sources that are Active.

### Is Fous affiliated with RouteOne LLC?

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own RouteOne account, and a method reads and does only what that account can.

Fous is an independent product: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the operator of RouteOne (RouteOne LLC). The name is used only to say which system this page is about. Something here wrong or out of date? Write to legal@fous.com.
