Lead Ingestion Setup
Connect your lead sources so DealSignal AI can start engaging them automatically.
Email Forwarding (Recommended)
Forward new lead notifications from any source to DealSignal AI
Every time a lead submits an inquiry on Cars.com, CarGurus, AutoTrader, your website, or any other platform, you receive an email notification. Simply forward those emails to the address below — DealSignal AI will parse them and begin automated follow-up within 90 seconds.
How to set it up
Copy the forwarding address above.
Log in to your email account (Gmail, Outlook, etc.).
Go to Settings → Filters & Forwarding.
Add a filter: when subject contains "New Lead" or "Lead Inquiry", forward to the address above.
Repeat for each lead source (Cars.com, CarGurus, AutoTrader, etc.).
That's it — DealSignal AI takes it from here.

Engagement Delay
How long should the AI wait before contacting new leads?
