September 2026
These are the updates for this month:
Chrome Extension
Release 1.0.7
- Seller name added automatically: syncing a conversation now fills in the seller's full name. Toggle in Settings. New "Always merge" column in the merge-and-update settings lets you pick which fields auto-update (default on: seller name, VIN, odometer, price, phone; photos and videos excluded).
- Skip Listing: mark conversations you never want synced. Skipped items get a hidden status you can filter on and un-skip later. Toggle in Settings.
- "Listings" tab renamed to "Conversations".
- VDP Reply button opens the marketplace chat in a new tab.
Release 1.0.8
- Wrong-vehicle fix: messages no longer sync onto the wrong car when switching between marketplace chats. Older messages are filtered by their real time instead of the displayed label, and a conversation title can no longer be overwritten by a placeholder or the previous thread's name.
- Mini-chat safe mode: nothing is added from the marketplace mini-chat. A new "Open in Messenger · VAN" button opens the conversation full screen, where sync is reliable.
- "Add to VAN" prompt on the marketplace: floating prompt with Add to VAN / Not now / Don't show for this listing. Suppression are per listing and reversible under Settings → Hidden Add to VAN prompts.
- VDP auto-open on every supported marketplace: all marketplaces now auto-open the VDP; others resolve via quick search by URL.
- VDP tab never shows a sign-in form: an expired session shows "Your VAN session has expired. Sign in to keep going." and opens sign-in in a normal browser tab.
- Sync activity now records who ran the sync.
VDP
- Communication delivery status now updates in real time on the VDP
- vAuto section shows an activation message instead of calling the retired integration
Inventory
- Quick Search keeps active and worked listings searchable beyond the 90-day window
Security & Sessions
- Users are automatically logged out after 30 minutes of inactivity
- Session length reduced from 7 days to 12 hours
Bugs Fixed
- Communications / To Do / Notifications: sort by date and time corrected
- VDP Export Pictures failing for dealers
- VDP Carfax report asking for credentials on open
- Completed tasks still showing as pending on the VDP
- Outbound calls not clearing the seller's "responded" status, leaving listings stuck as "waiting"
- Inventory "Textable" field incorrectly populated, including after listing corrections
- Manual Do Not Call failing on listings with no seller phone, and phoneless listings being auto-flagged DNC
- Performance and stability improvements (queue processing, search rebuilds, request handling)
