Overview

The AutoPlay integration automatically syncs your vehicle inventory to Vaile, enabling your AI assistant to provide accurate, real-time information about available vehicles.

Setup

Navigate to Integrations → Inventory in your dashboard to configure AutoPlay.

1. Enable Integration

Toggle the AutoPlay Integration switch to enable inventory syncing.

2. Configure Credentials

Click Configure and enter your AutoPlay credentials:
  • API URL: Your AutoPlay API endpoint
  • API Key: Your AutoPlay API authentication key
Your API key is stored securely and encrypted. It will never be displayed after saving.

3. Run Initial Sync

After saving credentials, click Full Re-sync to perform the initial inventory import.

Sync Types

Incremental Sync (Delta)

Syncs only changes since the last update:
  • New vehicles added
  • Updated vehicle information
  • Vehicles marked as sold/removed
Use when: Running regular updates to keep inventory current.

Full Sync

Re-imports your entire inventory from scratch:
  • Refreshes all vehicle data
  • Ensures complete accuracy
  • Rebuilds the entire inventory database
Use when:
  • Initial setup
  • Resolving data inconsistencies
  • After major inventory changes

Automatic Syncing

Once enabled, Vaile automatically syncs your inventory:
  • 2:00 AM - Early morning sync
  • 2:00 PM - Afternoon sync
Incremental syncs run automatically to minimize processing time.

Manual Sync

You can trigger a sync manually at any time:
  • Sync Now - Run an incremental sync
  • Full Re-sync - Re-import entire inventory
Wait for the current sync to complete before starting a new one. Running multiple syncs simultaneously is not supported.

Sync Status

Monitor your sync progress in real-time:
  • Running - Sync in progress with live vehicle count
  • Completed - Shows new, updated, and deleted vehicles
  • Failed - Displays error message

How It Powers Your Chat

Once inventory is synced, your AI assistant can:
  • Answer questions about available vehicles
  • Provide accurate pricing and specifications
  • Suggest vehicles based on customer preferences
  • Check real-time availability
The assistant automatically uses your latest inventory data to respond to customer inquiries.

Troubleshooting

  • Verify API URL is correct
  • Check API key is valid
  • Ensure AutoPlay service is accessible
  • Confirm sync completed successfully
  • Check that vehicles were processed (see sync stats)
  • Wait a few minutes for data to propagate
  • Run a manual incremental sync
  • If issue persists, run a full re-sync
  • Check AutoPlay for recent updates

Best Practices

  • Run a full re-sync weekly to ensure data accuracy
  • Enable automatic syncing for hands-free operation
  • Monitor sync status after major inventory updates
  • Contact support if syncs consistently fail
Your AI assistant will only recommend vehicles that are currently in your synced inventory, ensuring customers get accurate availability information.
