## What you can build on Dealertrack

### Get deals with app and contract status

Reads the Deals page, filtered by created date, status, dealership user or deal type, with each deal's App Status and Contract Status.

- Takes: Created since, status (optional), dealership user (optional), deal type (optional)
- Returns: Customer, deal type, created date, dealership user, app status, contract status

### Read the credit decisions in a deal jacket

Opens a customer's deal jacket and reads the Credit Decisions section at the bottom of the Summary tab: each lender's decision and buy rate.

- Takes: Customer name, deal created date (optional)
- Returns: Lender, decision, buy rate

### Check a funding package checklist

Opens the Contract tab of a deal jacket and reads the Funding Package page: each document category and whether a file is uploaded for it.

- Takes: Customer name
- Returns: Document category, uploaded or missing

### Request a payoff quote

Opens Payoff Quotes on the Lenders tab, requests a payoff amount from the lender you name for the date you give and reads back the amount the lender returns.

- Takes: Lender, customer name, loan account number, payoff date
- Returns: Lender, account number, payoff amount, payoff date

## Automate Dealertrack with a workflow

A [workflow](/product/workflows) runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

### New credit decisions on open deals, every morning

Starts: Every weekday at 8:00

1. Get the deals created in the last 14 days from the Deals page, with their App Status.
2. Keep the deals whose App Status changed since the last run.
3. For each one, read the Credit Decisions in its deal jacket.
4. Email you the list with customer, lender, decision and buy rate.

### Contracts waiting on stips before funding

Starts: Every weekday at 15:00

1. Get the deals with a Contract Status that is not yet funded.
2. For each one, check the Funding Package checklist.
3. Keep the document categories with no file uploaded.
4. Post customer, contract status and missing document categories to your webhook.

### Weekly F&I deal report by dealership user

Starts: Every Monday at 7:00

1. Get last week's deals from the Deals page with App Status and Contract Status.
2. Group them by dealership user and status in an AI step.
3. Email you the summary with the deal count for each status.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

## Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a [method](/product/methods), it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get deals with app and contract status” would look like.

Example request:

```
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "dealertrack.com/get_deal_statuses",
    "input": {
      "created_since": "2026-11-05",
      "deal_type": "Retail"
    }
  }'
```

Example response:

```
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "deals": [
      {
        "customer": "Jordan Acme",
        "deal_type": "Retail",
        "created_date": "2026-11-10",
        "dealership_user": "F&I Manager 2",
        "app_status": "Approved",
        "contract_status": "Submitted for Funding"
      },
      {
        "customer": "Casey Globex",
        "deal_type": "Retail",
        "created_date": "2026-11-11",
        "dealership_user": "F&I Manager 1",
        "app_status": "Pending",
        "contract_status": null
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

## Dealertrack’s own options

Finance Services is for lenders and their dealers' websites, behind a request for access.

## Signing in to Dealertrack

Dealertrack signs dealership users in on its own page, Dealertrack Technologies Login, at login.dealertrack.app.coxautoinc.com. With Fous you sign in once there with your own account. The login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs, and code and AI agents never see it.

## Worth knowing

- **Stips go in after the credit decision**: Files can be uploaded to the Funding Package once the credit decision is received, or from the start of a spot contract.
- **4MB, and JPG, PNG or PDF only**: Each uploaded document is limited to 4MB in .JPG, .PNG or .PDF. Encrypted or password-protected files may not upload, so save an unprotected PDF copy first.
- **Submit for Funding changes the page**: After you click Submit for Funding, the button on the Funding Package page becomes Submit Documents, for the trailing documents you add until the deal is funded.
- **Compliance reports need a subscription**: The Compliance tab, the compliance dashboards and reports in PDF or Excel, and document storage for up to 10 years come with Dealertrack F&I Compliance.

### Where do I see the buy rate after submitting a credit application?

In the Credit Decisions section at the bottom of the Summary tab of the deal jacket. The Deals page shows App Status and Contract Status for all your deals, and hovering a status icon shows its latest update.
