AutoPlayAuto.com 20.7.1 Release Notes - August 3rd 2020

Capture Wholesaler Quotes Via Web Page (SPW-2404)

When sending Wholesaler Quotes via SMS in the past we have always captured the wholesaler's reply via their entry of an $ value in the body of the SMS.  Whilst an effective way of capturing the wholesalers reply if the wholesaler was sent multiple replies they were faced with no way to specify which trade in they were quoting on - resulting in the chance of an incorrect $ value being assigned to a Appraisal Form.  



In 20.7.1 it is now possible to complete the wholesale quote via a web page.  The web page contains all of the information about the vehicle excluding any reconditioning costs, customer information or dealership valuations.  The wholesaler can enter a $ amount, as well as any valuation notes they wish to append (the notes will be added to a new text field below each quote).





The wholesaler can still submit a wholesale quote via the SMS, but the web page not only means they can view more information about the Appraisal, but it also increases the accuracy of any wholesale quote they submit.

The SMS that is generated when sending a SMS Wholesale request has been updated to provide the unique link and instructions to the wholesaler




Automated On Demand Or Monthly Live Leads

AutoPlay is currently completing internal testing and review on automated Live Leads.  When this is released as part of the AUTOMATION functionality, it will be possible to automate the creation and delivery of Live Leads or Email Campaigns in AutoPlay.  There are two approaches to automating Live Leads or Email Campaigns;
  1. On Demand Live Leads/Email Campaigns - Emails are triggered on an on demand basis to individual leads as they meet the criteria to send
  2. Monthly Live Leads/Email Campaigns - Emails are set to run at a regularly scheduled date/time and are sent as a campaign to multiple lead recipients
You can read more about automated Live Leads and Email Campaigns HERE.
