Automate SilverDAT 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.

• Orders whose Status changed overnight

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:30 (Europe/Berlin)

  Step 1

  Get the open orders from the Vorgangsübersicht.

  Step 2

  Keep the orders whose Status changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you the list with order number, licence plate, vehicle owner, old and new status.

• New orders from your network, posted to your DMS

  Build this

  Starts

  Every 30 minutes (Europe/Berlin)

  Step 1

  Get the orders from the Vorgangsübersicht.

  Build this

  Every Friday at 16:00 (Europe/Berlin)

  Get the orders from the Vorgangsübersicht and keep those updated this week.

  Step 2

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 orders from the Vorgangsübersicht” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.dat.de/get_orders",

        "vin": "WVWZZZCDZRW000000"
      }
    ],
    "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.

SilverDAT’s own options

DAT gives software houses and providers of dealer management and workshop software an interface description for SilverDAT, through its interface partnership, so data moves between their programs and SilverDAT. A body shop, dealer or appraiser uses SilverDAT in the browser, or through a partner system that has the interface. DAT publishes no prices for it.

Signing in to SilverDAT

The DAT Kunden-Login on www.dat.de asks for your DAT-Kundennummer (customer number), Benutzer (user) and Passwort. Each user is set up under the company's customer number in the Benutzer- und Rechteverwaltung. With Fous you sign in once through that sign-in with your own user: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Filters are shared under one customer number

A saved filter in the Vorgangsübersicht can be visible only to you or to every user under the same Kundennummer. Closed orders appear only when Geschlossene Aufträge anzeigen is ticked.

Each order moves through statuses

DAT's claim products follow a process defined by statuses. A progress bar in each order shows the stages already passed and those still ahead.

Insurers may see only the active calculation

Under Einstellungen Schadenkalkulation, a role such as an insurer can be limited to the active calculation, for all orders or one order at a time, using the eye icon in the Kalkulationsleiste.

Reports come from the Druckmanager

Abtretungserklärungen, calculation and valuation reports, Vollmachten, Prüfberichte and Gutachten are print reports inside each myClaim order, prepared in the Druckmanager.
