FousThe Hartford EBC

Turn The Hartford EBC into an API

Read overdue accounts, billing details and loss runs from The Hartford's EBC with one API call each. A workflow can check the overdue and cancelled accounts list before your service team starts and email you the accounts that are new to it.

Works with your own The Hartford EBC account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate the EBC 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.

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 overdue and cancelled accounts” 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": "ebc.thehartford.com/get_overdue_and_cancelled_accounts",
    "input": {
      "status": "Overdue"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "accounts": [
      {
        "insured": "Acme Landscaping LLC",
        "policy_number": "00 SBA AB1234",
        "line_of_business": "Business Owner's Policy",
        "status": "Overdue",
        "minimum_amount_due": 642,
        "due_date": "2026-11-05"
      }
    ],
    "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 EBC’s own options

The Hartford sends policy, claims and commission statement downloads and ACORD eDocs into an agency management system, and its EServices link from that system into EBC functions such as billing, claim inquiries and loss runs. What works depends on your management system. It also runs an API Developer Portal whose catalog is behind its sign-in.

Signing in to the EBC

The EBC signs agents in with a User ID and password. Your agency administrator creates each agent's account, and you finish registration from an emailed link by choosing your User ID and password. With Fous you sign in once through the EBC's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

Billing is mostly for direct bill
Most of the EBC's billing capabilities apply only to direct bill policies. Agency bill statements come as PDFs, and what you can do varies with the type of policy.
Logins come from your agency administrator
An agency administrator must create each agent's EBC login. To appoint an administrator, The Hartford points you to AIS at 877-322-4833 or chat on the EBC.
Loss runs and documents have limits
Loss runs cover up to five years of loss history, or a date range you enter. Policy documents can be downloaded as PDFs for up to seven years.
Commission statements as CSV
Direct and payroll-billed commission statements are PDFs in the EBC. You can enroll to receive CSV copies, or take them through the commission statement download into your AMS.

Frequently asked questions

The Hartford runs an API Developer Portal, but its catalog is behind a sign-in and its public pages do not say which APIs agencies can use. For agencies it documents policy, claims and commission downloads, ACORD eDocs and EServices links through a management system. The rest is done in the EBC by hand.

In the EBC, open Claims and access loss runs for up to five years of loss history, or enter a date range of your own. For commercial policies, EServices can also link to loss runs from a supported agency management system.

For direct bill policies it shows the minimum amount due, billed balance, last payment made and the due dates for the remaining installments. You can also download transactional billing details by account and billing statements as PDFs, and change the payment plan, for example from 4-pay to 10-pay.

Yes. Reporting in the EBC shows accounts that are overdue, cancelled due to non-payment or recently paid up, in real time. With Fous you can build a method that reads that list and a workflow that emails you the new ones each morning.

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