What ships switched off
These are built, tested and delivered in the off position. Every line below is checked against the code that decides the default when this page is generated — if somebody flips one of these on by default and forgets to change this page, the build stops.
WhatsApp
Carries the same conversation on the same thread over WhatsApp instead of a text, and answers people who message the dealership there first. It ships off because Meta has to verify the business, approve the name customers see and read each message template before anything can be sent, and because permission to message someone on WhatsApp is a separate permission from texting them. Until all of that is done every play simply keeps texting.

The power dialer
Rings you once, you press a key once, and it then dials your call list one number at a time so nobody ever answers to silence. It ships off because it makes outbound calls, and because leaving a recorded message needs a staffed opt-out line first.
Where it lives: Leads
Follow-up on protection products a customer declined
Goes back to a buyer who turned down a warranty or protection product and offers it again at the moment it would have paid for itself. It ships off because your store has to price those products first, and because it texts a customer who already said no once.
Where it lives: F&I
Asking for a review after a sale
Asks a buyer to rate the experience a set number of hours after delivery, routes a good score to your public review page and a poor one to a manager privately. It ships off because it texts customers, and because a store should choose the wording and the timing before it starts.
Where it lives: Reports, under surveys
Calling customers about work they declined
An outbound voice call to a customer who turned down recommended work at their last visit. It ships off and needs express written permission on file before it may be switched on at all, because it is an automated voice call.
Where it lives: Reports, under surveys
Asking service customers whether they would sell you their car
A short text shortly after a car is checked into the shop, asking whether the owner would like a number on it. It ships off because the carrier-approved wording for it has to be filed before it may send, and because a shop visit is not an invitation to be sold to.
Where it lives: Inventory and Service Hub
Sending an appraisal offer without a manager looking at it
Lets the overnight appraisal go straight to the customer without a manager looking at it first. Because nobody has seen the car on that path, the customer is told it is an estimate: a range that becomes firm after a ten-minute look. It ships off on purpose: money leaves the building on that path, so a person signs off on every number until your store decides otherwise.
Where it lives: Inventory
Printed mail
Prints and posts a physical piece to a customer through a mail provider. It ships off, needs a provider account and a budget you set, and needs postal addresses on your customer records — most imported books do not have them.
Where it lives: Marketing
Creator and influencer partnerships
Tracks a local creator's link from the click through to the booking and the sale, and negotiates a fee inside a band you set. It ships off because a partner programme is a decision, not a default, and because you set the budget before anything is offered.
Where it lives: Partners
Customer referral links
Gives each buyer one personal link. A friend who opens it types their own name and mobile, proves the number with a code, and reaches the buyer's salesperson marked as referred; when the friend buys, the rep and the managers are told. Once switched on, buyers are asked on their own — a thank-you text a few days after delivery, one at day 30 and one on each purchase anniversary — each waiting for quiet hours, a pause and any text in the last day, and never sent late. When a friend buys, a manager decides the reward on the Approvals screen (never a salesperson); approving records it as owed and texts the customer a thank-you, and the store marks it paid once it has paid it — the Referrals screen keeps each customer's total for the year. It ships off because the texts go to your customers, because the carrier-approved wording for them has to be filed first, and because any thank-you reward is money only a manager may promise.
Where it lives: Referrals
Matching a new enquiry to the rep most like the customer
Routes a new enquiry inside your existing routing rules to the rep who matches on area, language or the kind of vehicle. It ships off because who gets which customer is a management decision, not something software should assume.
Where it lives: Setup
Rich branded messages with buttons
The upgraded message format that shows your logo and tappable buttons instead of plain text. It ships off and flips on only after the carriers approve your store as a sender, which is a queue of its own. Plain texts work without it.

Light, funny video templates for each moment of the sale
Short videos starring the customer's own rep and their real car, whose link will ride inside a text the store already sends. It ships off, jokes are never used at serious moments, and in this version nothing is filmed, made or attached to a text yet: the scripts, the approvals and the store's picks are ready for when it is.
