Overview

🎯 Objective

A website user will complete the Price Drop Alert form for a specific unit on the dealer's website. This user will receive automated emails and/or text messages when the price of a unit they are interested in decreases in price.

⚙️ How Does it Work

First, a website user will complete Price Drop Alert form on the dealer's website. When the dealer reduces the price or adds a price to the Sale Price field for that unit within iCC, the PSM system will receive pricing updates from the iCC system and look for any contacts that have submitted a Price Drop Alert form for that unit. If the PSM system has identified that a contact has submitted a Price Drop Alert form and the dealer has added a price or reduced the Sale Price of the unit, the contact will be sent the notification(s) they requested.

...

Dealers will be able to see which contacts within their iCC system have submitted a Price Drop Alert form. There is a new contact activity type called “Price Drop Notification” that is available in the iCC Reports screens for Contacts & Activities. It will be listed as an activity type within the contact's detail.

📝 Additional Details

 Out of Scope

• The price change will not display in the text or email message to the lead. The lead will need to click the link in the message that will take them back to the dealer's website. There are no changes on the dealer's website that would indicate the price has been changed.

  • The goal is to get the lead back to the dealer's website; the PSM team feels that including the price change in the email does not entice users to return to the dealer's website.
