The automation checks budget, timeline, and vehicle interest against dealership criteria and assigns a score.
3. Send Welcome Email
Qualified leads automatically receive a personalized welcome email with next steps and available vehicles.
4. Schedule Test Drive
The system books a test drive slot against the assigned salesperson's calendar and confirms with the lead.

A signed deal automatically generates the invoice and records the payment against the vehicle.
7. Notify Sales Manager
Closed deals push a summary with margin and payment status straight to the sales manager's channel.
8. Flag Lead For Manager Review
Leads that score below the qualification threshold route to a manager review queue instead of continuing automatically.
