We have just pushed our latest platform update and it is a big one. Three new features that our dealer customers have been asking for, all live today.
Here is what is new and why it matters.
Manual posting
Auto Lot Impact has always been about automation — vehicles post themselves and your social media runs in the background without anyone needing to think about it. That remains the core of what we do.
But sometimes you want to take the wheel. Maybe you have a vehicle you want to push this week. Maybe a customer expressed interest in something specific and you want it on your Facebook page today. Until now, the only way to make that happen was to wait for the automation to pick it up.
Not any more. Manual posting lets you select any vehicle in your inventory and add it directly to the posting queue with a single action. The platform still handles the content generation, the image creation, and the posting itself — you are just choosing which vehicle goes next.
Full automation when you want it. Manual control when you need it.
Slot filler
Your posting schedule has a set number of slots each day. When every slot has a vehicle assigned to it, the schedule runs smoothly. But when new arrivals slow down or your queue runs low, those slots can go empty — and an empty slot is a missed opportunity to put inventory in front of potential buyers.
Slot filler solves this automatically. When a slot would otherwise go unused, the platform identifies vehicles already in your inventory that have not been posted recently and fills the gap. No manual intervention required, no empty days on your Facebook page.
Your posting schedule stays consistent regardless of how your inventory is moving.
Live price change updates
When a vehicle's price drops, that is news worth sharing. Previously, a price change on a vehicle that had already been posted had no effect on the existing post — the old price sat there until the post was eventually removed.
Now, when a price changes in your inventory feed, Auto Lot Impact automatically updates the existing post to reflect the new price. The update is clear and immediate, so anyone who saw the original post and comes back to check will see the current price rather than an outdated one.
For dealers who use price reductions as a sales tool, this means your social media stays accurate without anyone needing to manually edit posts.
Why these three features together
Each of these updates addresses a different part of the same challenge: keeping your dealership's social media presence active, accurate, and effective without adding work for your team.
Automation handles the routine. Manual posting gives you control when you want it. Slot filler keeps the schedule full. Price change updates keep your content accurate. Together they make the platform significantly more powerful than it was last week.
All three features are live now for all active subscribers. No setup required — they are available in your dealer dashboard today.
