Five trigger photos. One approval. Every approved channel.
Your people already take photos when a car is ready. Those photos start the workflow. We turn them into the listing, the ads and the social posts, with the facts checked, a manager’s approval, and a record of what happened, tied to the stock number.

Why this build matters
Five specialists should not have to touch the same car.
The trigger eventFig. 02
The store should not need a copywriter, SEO specialist, paid-media manager, social coordinator and salesperson to rewrite the same vehicle facts before it is market-ready.
One clean inventory event supplies all of them. Each output is written for its destination. Managers see only the exceptions that deserve judgment.
The event chain
From photos to proof.
Eight stages, one source record and a visible owner at every exception.
01
Trigger
Staff post four to twelve usable photos to the shared channel your team already uses. Slack is one option. Five trigger photos can start the workflow while the full merchandising set is still being shot.
02
Validate
The workflow checks count, orientation, blur, glare, duplicates and missing views. It reads visible VIN or sticker text and flags conflicts.
03
Enrich
Approved sources supply trim, drivetrain, mileage, packages, options, fuel type, seating, safety features and dealer-specific facts.
04
Build
Every destination gets native copy. A VDP is not reused as a Facebook post, and a search ad is not padded into an article.
A manager sees the photos, core facts, warnings and proposed outputs. They can approve all, edit one channel or hold the unit.
07
Publish
Approved assets move to the destinations the store uses, limited by platform policy and available integrations.
08
Measure
Stock number, channel, campaign and approval record connect ready-to-live time to engagement, leads, appointments and sale.

Guardrails / Non-negotiable
The system is designed to stop.
Speed without fact control is just faster risk. If a price conflicts, a trim cannot be verified or a financial claim needs approval, the workflow stops and sends it to a manager with a clear question.
