umesh 336 Posted December 1, 2016 Strange situation I tripped across couple of days ago and just want to make sure you are not affected ! I check on & off on Autotrader to make sure ALL my cars are advertised and if they look OK etc etc … Spotted couple of days ago only 28 Advertised from 38 … spoke to my account manager who’s currently still checking whats wrong .. resent all the cars back live on dealer portal over night feed all cars OK – Morning feeds somehow deletes some of the stock .. this morning 32 advertised out of 38 …. Issue still not resolved – Technical dept looking into it but as I’ve explained to my account manager – doesn’t help me as cars not being advertised ! So- guys and girls just keep an eye on it , this may just be an isolated case ! Better to check ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Umesh, this may sound cheeky but just came across your post as i am looking to find out more about data feed for AT. Am i right in saying that if you have multiple cars to upload you wouldn't do that manually (take a pic, enter description etc like for 1 car). Instead you upload a "feed" automatically to AT? Is that right? if so what does a feed look like? is it a spreadsheet? or is it a line of code? Ta in advance Umesh Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umesh 336 Posted July 15, 2017 Dealer Research Initially yo have to do it manually with each car , then there is 'data feed' that can be sent to various platforms from either your DMS / Website / website provider etc etc - There is a special feed type- Format - so it shows all the data/images etc etc ( Can't just remember -senior moment !!) and some will take CSV Files ! Will be like a spread sheet ! Hope this helps - when I find an actual example I'll post it on ! feel free to give me a shout if I can help further 01782 822 700 Cheers Umesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
