Automate Simplifile 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.

• Rejected packages, with each document's rejection reason

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Get the packages in Rejected status from the Packages page.

  Step 2

  Keep the packages that were not rejected on the last run.

  Step 3

  For each one, get the rejection reasons from its Package Details page.

  Step 4

  Email you the list, one section per county.

• Today's recordings, posted to your title software

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 17:30

  Step 1

  Get today's recorded documents from the Recording Report.

  Step 2

  Stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post package name, document name, document type, entry number, recording date and fees to your webhook.

• Last week's recording fees, totalled by package

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  Get last week's recorded documents from the Recording Report.

  Step 2

  Total the fees and count the documents for each package.

  Step 3

  Email you the totals with the list of documents underneath.

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 packages by status” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "simplifile.ice.com/get_packages_by_status",
    "input": {
      "package_status": "Rejected",
      "county": null
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "packages": [
      {
        "package_name": "NW-26-10482 Northwind Lending refinance",
        "county": "Travis County, TX",
        "document_count": 2,
        "status": "Rejected",
        "status_date": "2026-11-11T10:42:00-06:00",
        "retrieved": false
      }
    ],
    "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.

Simplifile’s own options

Simplifile offers API and integration solutions to national submitters and large processing centers, so they can submit large volumes of documents from their own systems. Eligibility for reduced per-document pricing is checked by phone. Partners' title and closing software also connects to it. Everyone else works in the site, where the Banking Export Report is meant for importing into other systems.

Signing in to Simplifile

Simplifile asks for your username and password. When your organization requires two-factor authentication, it adds a code sent by email, text message or phone call, or an authenticator app, and single sign-on is in a limited pilot. With Fous you sign in once through Simplifile's sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, a code sent by email is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Recorded packages leave the default view

The Packages page's default view hides recorded, billed rejected and voided packages after 2 days. For older recordings, read the Recording Report or the Package Status Report for a date range.

A rejection returns the whole package

When a county rejects one document, the whole package comes back, approved documents included. Billed Rejected means the county also charged a rejection fee.

Finalizing is not yet Recorded

A small number of jurisdictions use Finalizing: stamped documents are back, but the county may still change the recording. Fees are due on the Finalizing date, and Simplifile advises waiting for Recorded before retrieving documents.

Submit needs every document Ready

On the Package Details page, Submit is enabled only when every document is Ready and the Released for Recording box is marked. A package starts in Draft and turns Ready once all documents are prepared.
