The Autofeeds importer is used to pull vehicle ads from a variety of vendors. BLOX Wheels must be installed to use this importer.
Feed Provider: Use the drop-down menu to select an autofeed provider. Options include: Autoclick, Autorevolution, Carsforsale, Cobalt, Dealercom, VAuto, Dealerslink, Dealerspecialties, Dealertrack, eBiz, Autos, EZAds Pro, Vin Solutions, Frazer, Homenet, LotLinx, Promax and Reynolds
Dealer ID: Enter the ID for the Dealership you are setting up the autoFeed for.
Link To Buy URL: This option only works for the LotLinx AutoFeed Provider. Yes creates the link, No will not.
Importer name: The name should be descriptive to the purpose of the Job (ie: Dealership Name and Provider type, etc.).
Lifecycle: Choose the property you want to set that will determine when the expired Ads will be purged from the system. By default, it reads the Date that is provided from the Feed. If Expire On Import is checked, the job performs a comparison with the last known processed file and sets any current asset to Deleted status if the same asset is not in the current feed file, but was in the last known file. Typically only used when the destination module is set to tncms_classifieds. You can set the number of days for it be Removed as another option.
Assign Business: You can associate a business from your Business Directory to the Job. This can be looked up by an Aux Provider by the Business ID (found in the URL of that Business Listing or in ID Column in the Marketplace / Businesses application).
Disable field parsing: Enable this option to prevent the job from parsing in fielded data into ad assets.
Assets with unmapped businesses will be ignored: If the job encounters an ad that doesn't have a business associated with it, the ad will be excluded from import.
Import ads as 'unpublished': Imported assets will be set to Do Not Publish and will be hidden to readers.
Disabled: Enable this option to disable the job from running. The job will manually need to be run by selecting the job and then selecting the Run option.
Run automatically: Job will run automatically at the most appropriate times for the content it is processing. Jobs not set to run automatically may still be run manually.
To select a market to be used with the feed, select +Add. Markets that have been setup within BLOX will populate the dropdown menu of options.
Log email: The email address that will be notified after the importer runs.
Log Level: Use the drop-down to define the log level. Options include: Info, Fatal, Errors and Warnings.
