ScoutX and AutoDealersDigital
Scout produces the inventory file to the AutoDealersDigital specification and delivers it on a schedule.
How it works
- The file is pipe-delimited per the specification, with image URLs comma-separated inside their own field and up to 27 images per listing.
- Multi-rooftop groups send one file, with the dealer identifier resolved per row.
- Field formatting follows the specification rather than approximating it — condition, certification and date formats are emitted in the exact shapes it defines, because a near-miss is a rejected row.
- This feed sends your sale price. Base-price display is supported through the condition-level override, which substitutes the price before the file is built; the more granular make-and-model pricing rules do not apply to this partner.
- An automated check flags any enabled feed whose last successful push is more than 48 hours old, or that has been switched on for 48 hours and has never pushed at all. Alerts are raised once per dealer and name every affected feed, rather than firing on every run.
