Automate Total Control 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.

• Equipment past its estimated return date, by jobsite

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each rental account you name, get the items on rent.

  Step 2

  Keep the items whose estimated return date is today or earlier.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per jobsite, with contract number and estimated return date.

• Purchase orders close to their limit

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 8:00

  Step 1

  For each rental account, check the purchase order balances on the PO tab.

  Step 2

  Keep the POs with less than 10% of their amount remaining.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with amount spent, amount remaining and projected spend, to your ERP webhook.

• New invoices, handed to accounts payable

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 18:00

  Step 1

  For each rental account, check the open invoices.

  Step 2

  Keep the invoices that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post invoice number, PO number, jobsite, amount and due date to your accounts payable 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 items on rent” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "totalcontrol.ur.com/get_items_on_rent",
    "input": {
      "rental_account": "Acme Builders",
      "jobsite": "Northwind Distribution Center"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "rental_account": "Acme Builders",
    "jobsite": "Northwind Distribution Center",
    "items": [
      {
        "equipment": "Scissor lift, 26 ft, electric",
        "quantity": 2,
        "contract_number": "C-2048813",
        "po_number": "PO-7731",
        "estimated_return_date": "2026-11-14"
      }
    ],
    "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.

Total Control’s own options

United Rentals sets up system integrations with its customers through its own team: PO and cost object validation with budget tracking, invoice automation, punch-out catalogs and API integration, arranged through Contact Us. Inside Total Control you can schedule reports to your inbox and set email and SMS alerts.

Signing in to Total Control

Total Control uses your United Rentals account: you enter your email address, then the same password you use on UnitedRentals.com, and the Account Selector switches between the rental accounts linked to you. With Fous you sign in once through United Rentals' own sign-in with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Extended rentals outgrow their PO

When a rental is extended, its invoice can stop matching the PO, and your accounting system may reject it. The PO tab shows how much of each PO is spent and how much remains.

Ordering moved to UnitedRentals.com

The Requisitions and Catalog tabs are no longer shown in Total Control. Rent Now opens the marketplace on UnitedRentals.com, where orders from every channel are listed under Orders.

One rental account at a time

You switch accounts with the Account Selector at the top of the page. An account that is not listed is added with Link Additional Rental Account, so a method takes the rental account as an input.

Invoices can be split between cost centers

Total Control lets you allocate an invoice between cost centers or work orders. Keep that split in mind when you match invoice lines to your own POs.
