CDK Global AI Follow-Up Integration
Keep CDK as your DMS and CRM of record. Layer IgniteUps AI on top to actually work the leads — SMS, email, and voice — with full activity write-back to the CDK customer record.
What the integration does
- Lead intake — CDK leads route into AI cadences in real time as they land.
- SMS + email + voice — All three channels in one engine. Voice is included, not a separate vendor.
- Activity write-back — Every AI touch, response, and appointment is logged to the CDK customer record.
- Appointment + status sync — AI-set appointments push back to CDK and the assigned rep is notified with a summary.
- Per-store control — Each rooftop opts into its own outreach scenarios with its own copy and cadence.
- Honors DNC + opt-outs — Customer opt-outs are honored across both systems automatically.
Outreach scenarios AI handles on top of CDK
- Under-60-second first response on every new internet lead
- 24h and 2h appointment confirmations across SMS and voice
- Same-day no-show recovery and rescheduling
- Lost deal re-engagement at 30, 60, and 90 days
- Dead-lead reactivation from old CDK records
- Equity, lease maturity, and service-drive recapture
- Inbound voice answering when reps are unavailable or after-hours
What CDK still owns
CDK remains the DMS, CRM, and reporting layer your team already uses. IgniteUps AI does not create duplicate leads, change your deal flow, or alter your existing workflow. It is the execution layer between the events CDK already tracks.
Setup
CDK-based stores are typically live within a week. Connect API access, choose which scenarios should run per rooftop, validate on a small slice, then turn on group-wide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this replace any part of CDK?
No. CDK remains the DMS and CRM. AI handles the multi-channel conversation work that sits between CDK-tracked events.
Will it create duplicate leads in CDK?
No. AI is update-only — it logs activity to the existing customer record and never creates duplicate leads.
Can I pilot one rooftop first?
Yes. Configuration is per-store. Most groups pilot on one or two rooftops before rolling AI group-wide.
Does it work with CDK Elead, Drive, or Salespro?
Yes — AI integrates at the API layer, so CDK Elead, Drive, and Salespro CRMs are all supported.
