Trade Me Export Vehicle Selection

Trade Me Export Vehicle Selection

Overview

AutoPlay has a unique export option for the Trade Me listing site that will allow a dealership to manually select which listings are being exported at any time. This can be managed directly from its own dashboard screen or from within the listing itself.

Provisioning

The dealership will need to have the Role: Trade Me Export enabled. This contains a user selection menu, each user added to this role will have access to the dedicated dashboard.

A vehicle will also be able to be withdrawn manaully from Trade Me in this section if it is already currently online. Vehicles will need to have no other pending save changes before the listing can be exported from this section.

Vehicle Export Limits

As part of the 24.6.1 sprint, AutoPlay is now able to provide a warning or prevention solution for a dealership Export Account to more tightly control the amount of listings that are sent to Trade Me

AutoPlay will run a look up with the "Branch" call hourly. This returns the vehicle account limit. Using this figure, we can then apply a new export validation options with the below options

Hard - No vehicles over the account limit will be allowed to be marked for export. 
Soft - A warning will be displayed when a vehicle is selected and the export count exceeds the account limit. It will still allow the vehicle to be selected and exported.
