## Automate Teraview 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.

### Writ searches for the day's closings

Starts: When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a closing's party names

1. For each name sent, run a writ search by name in your key Enforcement Office.
2. Keep the names that came back with an Execution Certificate.
3. Email you the list with each name, certificate number and the numbers of the writs found.

### New instruments on the properties you watch

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. For each PIN on your list, get the parcel register.
2. Keep the instruments that were not there on the last run.
3. Email you each new instrument with its PIN, number, date, type and parties.

### Last month's docket fees, handed to accounting

Starts: Monthly on the 1st at 8:00

1. Get the Docket Tax/Fee Summary Report for the previous month.
2. Keep the dockets with a total above zero.
3. Post each docket's fees, taxes and total to your accounting system's 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 a parcel register” 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": "teraviewereg.ca/get_parcel_register",
    "input": {
      "pin": "12345-0678"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "pin": "12345-0678",
    "property_description": "Lot 14, Plan 66M1234, City of Northwind",
    "owners": "Acme Holdings Inc.",
    "instruments": [
      {
        "instrument_number": "AB123456",
        "registration_date": "2024-03-15",
        "instrument_type": "Transfer",
        "amount": 925000,
        "parties_from": "Globex Developments Ltd.",
        "parties_to": "Acme Holdings Inc."
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

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.

## Signing in to Teraview

Teraview users create their password in Portas PASS with their Teraview Account and User Name, and the home page offers a Login and a separate Login with MFA. Signing instruments also takes an RSA token code from a key fob or the RSA SecurID app. With Fous you sign in through Teraview's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

## Worth knowing

- **Searches are paid per item**: A parcel register costs $37.10 for the first page and $2.56 for each further page, and a writ name search in your key Enforcement Office $13.30. Fees come out of your Teraview deposit account.
- **Writ searches have their own hours**: Writ searches run Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., not on weekends or holidays. Registration is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time.
- **The writ search must be from registration day**: Writ statement 3629 gives the date the execution search was completed, which must be the same as the registration date, and lists the Clear Certificate numbers. A search from the day before does not fit.
