DealerSocket AI Texting (and Email + Voice)DealerSocket AI Texting (and Email + Voice)

What the integration does

Real-time intake — New DealerSocket leads flow into AI cadences in seconds.
SMS + email + voice — All three channels in one engine. Voice included, not an add-on.
Activity write-back — Every touch and customer reply logs to the DealerSocket customer record.
Appointment sync — AI-set appointments push back to DealerSocket and notify the assigned rep.
Per-store config — Each rooftop opts into its own scenarios with its own cadence and copy.
Opt-out + DNC sync — Internal opt-outs are honored automatically across both systems.

Why text-only AI tools underperform

SMS is the easiest channel to start with, which is why so many "AI texting" tools stop there. But about 30–40% of customers respond better to email, and another slice will only answer a phone call. A single-channel tool by definition leaves the multi-channel responders on the table.

Real lift comes from working the channel each customer prefers — and switching when the first does not land.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How is this different from DealerSocket built-in texting?

Built-in texting is a tool reps use manually. AI texting is an autonomous engine that works every lead 24/7 — and hands the warm ones to your team with full context.

Does it create duplicate records?

No. AI updates the existing DealerSocket customer record only.

TCPA / consent — is this compliant?

Yes. AI follows your existing opt-in source and respects opt-outs and quiet hours per rooftop.
