Before you begin

Have these ready

  • CarSocial Desktop activated
  • A configured dealer website for catalog sync
  1. 01

    Configure the catalog website when needed

    Open Settings and add the dealer website and, where appropriate, specific inventory/search links. This advanced configuration is separate from the minimal name-and-phone profile.

  2. 02

    Sync the available links

    Choose Sync inventory on the dashboard and read the result. Sync discovers catalog links; it does not publish vehicles or replace a review of availability.

  3. 03

    Import selected vehicles

    Use Incomplete to find links that still need data. Select the intended rows and choose Import data. The app processes the batch sequentially; inspect the results and complete missing fields.

  4. 04

    Search and filter

    Use Full inventory, search, and Filters to find vehicles by VIN, stock, make, model, publishing status or readiness.

  5. 05

    Prepare a queue without starting posts

    Select reviewed vehicles and choose Create queue from selection. Resolve the readiness findings. Each vehicle still waits for your Publish this action and publication confirmation.

Important

Importing is not publishing

A catalog link, imported draft, ready vehicle and Facebook listing are different stages. Check the actual state before taking the next action.

You are done when

You can find the right vehicles and prepare the next reviewed action without starting unattended posts.
