Automate Uline 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.

  • The day's Uline orders, posted to your ERP

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 19:00
    Step 1
    Get the order history for today and yesterday.
    Step 2
    Keep the orders that are new or whose status changed since the last run.
    Step 3
    Post each one, with order number, PO number, status and tracking number, to your ERP webhook.

  • Last week's Uline spend by location

    Build this
    Starts
    Every Monday at 7:00
    Step 1
    Run a spend report grouped by location for the previous Monday to Sunday.
    Step 2
    Summarize the spend per location and the largest changes from the week before.
    Step 3
    Email you the summary with the report rows.

  • Purchased products, kept in step with your item master

    Build this
    Starts
    On the 1st of every month at 6:00
    Step 1
    Get the purchased products list.
    Step 2
    Keep the products that are new or whose customer item number changed since the last run.
    Step 3
    Post model number, description, times ordered and customer item number to your 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, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get order history” 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": "www.uline.com/get_order_history",
    "input": {
      "from_date": "2026-11-09",
      "to_date": "2026-11-11"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "7310452",
        "order_date": "2026-11-11",
        "po_number": "ACME-4471",
        "ship_to_name": "Acme Reno warehouse",
        "status": "Shipped",
        "tracking_number": "1Z9X0000000000001",
        "items": 6,
        "total": 1284.5,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    ],
    "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.

Uline’s own options

Uline's Help Center describes no API for customers. What it offers is on uline.com: On-Demand and monthly Scheduled Reports in Excel or PDF, an Export of Purchased Products to Excel or CSV, and Order Reminders by email. Order History and Shopping Lists are in My Account, and invoices are paid on the View and Pay Invoices page.

Signing in to Uline

Uline signs existing customers in with their email address and password, or with Email Me a Link to Sign In. New customers are registered, with a password, after their first order. With Fous you sign in once through Uline's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, never seen by your code or agents, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Same-day cut-off at 6:00 PM branch time
Orders placed by 6:00 PM local branch time, Monday to Friday, from the continental United States ship the same day. Recent orders are tracked in My Account, so schedule an order check after the cut-off.
The PO number goes in at checkout
The purchase order field is on the Payment or Review and Submit pages. Adding a PO number to a previous order takes a call to 1-800-295-5510, so a reorder method should take the PO number as an input.
Scheduled Reports are monthly only
Scheduled Reports arrive by email once a month, as Excel or PDF. For weekly or daily figures, run an On-Demand Report with your own time period.
Order History shows the columns you pick
The headings in Order History are chosen under Page Settings. Ship-to addresses can be given names with Add Ship-To Names, and Order History can be searched and filtered.
