Use cases

Five flows across sales and the workshop

Enquiry to test drive, and reminder to invoice.

01 · Aftersales

Keep the workshop diary full

Owners forget service intervals. A dated reminder with bookable slots attached converts a lapsed customer into a booking without anyone making a phone call.

  • Triggered by date or mileage
  • Bookable slots in the message
  • Courtesy car offered
See the flow builder arrow_forward
02 · Sales

Capture the evening enquiry

Most car research happens after your showroom closes. An Auto Flow captures the enquiry, confirms which model and trim, and books the test drive before a salesperson is back at their desk.

  • Model and trim captured
  • Test drive booked 24/7
  • Assigned to a salesperson

Can reminders trigger on mileage as well as date? expand_more

Yes, if your DMS exposes it. Whichever comes first – interval date or mileage threshold – can fire the reminder.

How do we keep sales and service separate? expand_more

Separate team inboxes and pipelines on the same business number, with their own assignment rules and reporting.

Can customers approve extra work in the chat? expand_more

Yes, and you get a written record of the approval, which is usually more useful than a note about a phone call.

Does it work for independent workshops, not just dealers? expand_more

Yes. Independents typically use service reminders, booking and ready-for-collection notices without the sales side at all.

Can we send a quote for approval? expand_more

Yes, with the amount and the work described, and the customer approves or declines with one tap. You get the decision in writing, which is more useful than a note about a phone call.

Does it work for used-car sales as well as service? expand_more

Yes. Stock shortlists, test-drive booking and part-exchange questions all run in the same thread, with sales and aftersales kept as separate pipelines.
