Automated Carfax Missing Report Tracking

Every morning, WebRun opens your Carfax dealer account, checks which vehicles in inventory over 14 days old still have no vehicle history report pulled, posts the list to Telegram, and texts the sales manager if the number of missing reports keeps growing day over day.

In short

How do I find aged dealer inventory that's missing a Carfax report?

WebRun checks your Carfax dealer inventory every morning for vehicles over 14 days old that still have no vehicle history report pulled, posting the full list to Telegram. If the number of missing reports grows from the day before, it also texts the sales manager, so an aging backlog gets caught before it slows down sales.

  • Aged vehicles missing a report get flagged every morning
  • The sales manager only gets texted when the backlog is actually growing
  • Listings go out with a report attached instead of catching up later

Questions, answered

Will it pull the Carfax report for these vehicles?

No. WebRun only checks whether a report has already been pulled. Ordering the report itself stays your team's action in Carfax.

What counts as aged inventory?

Any vehicle that has been in your listed inventory for more than 14 days. You can adjust that window to match your lot's pace.

When does the sales manager get texted?

Only on days the count of vehicles missing a report is higher than the day before, so the text always means the backlog is getting worse.

Put this on autopilot.
