Automate the Freight Portal 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.

  • Confirmed bookings not yet checked in

    Build this
    Starts
    Every hour
    Step 1
    Search bookings with status Confirmed that depart within the next 4 hours.
    Step 2
    Keep the bookings that were not on the last run's list.
    Step 3
    Email you each one with route, departure, registration number and customer reference.

  • Unaccompanied trailers ready for pick-up

    Build this
    Starts
    Every 30 minutes
    Step 1
    List the unaccompanied units standing on quay.
    Step 2
    Keep the units that were not on quay on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post booking number, trailer registration, route, arrival and customer reference to your transport system's webhook.

  • Unused block bookings for tomorrow

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 14:00
    Step 1
    Search tomorrow's departures for bookings with status Available.
    Step 2
    Stop when there are none.
    Step 3
    Email you the list grouped by route, with booking number, customer account, departure and vehicle type.

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 “Search bookings” 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": "portal.stenalinefreight.com/search_bookings",
    "input": {
      "route": "Rotterdam - Harwich",
      "departure_from": "2026-11-13",
      "departure_to": "2026-11-13",
      "booking_status": "Confirmed"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "bookings": [
      {
        "booking_number": "40718236",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "customer_account": "Northwind Haulage",
        "route": "Rotterdam - Harwich",
        "departure": "2026-11-13T21:00",
        "vehicle_type": "Unaccompanied trailer",
        "registration": "NWT4471",
        "customer_reference": "PO-88213",
        "dimensions": "13.6 x 2.55 x 4.0 m"
      }
    ],
    "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.

The Freight Portal’s own options

Stena Line offers E-connect, a system-to-system service for booking and Track-n-Trace from your own system, and E-invoice Plus, which delivers invoice information by EDI. E-invoice puts invoices on a secure website with a CSV download. The Freight Portal itself was rolled out to customers holding credit accounts.

Signing in to the Freight Portal

The Freight Portal asks for your username or email address and a password, with Reset password if you lose it. The same credentials sign you in to the Freight Planner app. With Fous you sign in once through the Freight Portal's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Available means unused
A booking with status Available is confirmed but not used yet: typically a block booking. The other statuses are Confirmed, Waitinglist, Checked-in, Shipped and Cancelled/No show.
How booking search matches
A registration search matches the start of the number and a customer reference search any part of it, combined with the other filters. A booking number must match exactly and ignores every other filter.
Prices depend on your permissions
The price of a booking, and Get price when you create or update one, appear only if your user is authorized to see prices. A method returns prices only when your account shows them.
Driver changes need account permission
Drivers can cancel or reschedule a booking in the Freight Driver app only after the customer account has authorized it. Without that permission, those options do not appear in the driver's booking.

Frequently asked questions

Stena Line's own option is E-connect, a system-to-system service for booking and Track-n-Trace from your own system: a booking request gets its booking number confirmed, typically within a second or two. Invoices can come by EDI through E-invoice Plus, or as a CSV download from E-invoice.

Use the dashboard at the top of the Manage page, where you can set a time limit to track units not checked in a certain time before departure. With Fous, you can build a workflow that searches Confirmed bookings on a schedule and emails you the ones close to departure.

You receive a no-show email, and the booking shows the status Cancelled/No show. To cancel or transfer the booking instead, you contact Stena Line's reservation office.

You open a freight account through Stena Line's sales team, and the Freight Portal was rolled out to customers holding credit accounts. If you cannot sign in, Stena Line asks you to contact the reservation office or sales support.

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