A DealerAI action on the other end.
DealerAI’s verified n8n node turns the data your dealership already has into work the AI does: a marketplace lead gets processed and followed up, a CRM export becomes an outbound campaign, a nightly feed keeps inventory current. Drag, drop, connect. No API code.

Signal in, action out
Four workflows dealers wire up first.
Each one starts with something your store already produces (an email, a spreadsheet, a feed) and ends with DealerAI doing the follow-up.
flow.database_campaign
Your own database becomes this week’s leads.
Export lease maturities, lapsed service customers, or last year’s unsold ups to a Google Sheet. n8n reads the rows and calls Bulk Enroll Contacts. REACH works the list by SMS and email, and replies that turn into appointments land with your BDC.
Google Sheets / CRM export → Filter · dedupe → Bulk Enroll Contacts → REACH sequence
flow.marketplace_lead
Marketplace lead in. Follow-up running in seconds.
A lead email arrives from a marketplace or OEM portal. n8n hands the ADF to Process ADF Lead, branches on what came in, and calls Enroll Contact on the right sequence. No lead sits in an inbox overnight.
Gmail / IMAP trigger → Process ADF Lead → IF · lead type → Enroll Contact
flow.inventory_sync
Nightly feed in. The AI never quotes a sold car.
A schedule pulls your DMS or website feed every night and pushes it through Upload Used Inventory CSV (or JSON), then calls Train LLM. Chat, voice, and REACH all answer from the morning’s lot.
Schedule · 2:00 AM → HTTP Request · feed → Upload Inventory → Train LLM
flow.oem_incentives
OEM bulletin in. Incentives live in the chat.
When the monthly incentive email lands, n8n passes it to Extract and Create a Promotion and switches last month’s off with Set Promotion Active Status. Customers asking about offers get this month’s numbers.
Gmail · OEM bulletin → Extract and Create a Promotion → Set Promotion Active Status
Setup in minutes
From empty canvas to live workflow, in three steps.
The DealerAI node ships verified, so there is nothing to build or host. Single rooftop or group, the same workflow can be duplicated per store by swapping the credential.
01
Add the DealerAI node.
Search DealerAI in the n8n nodes panel. On self-hosted instances, an owner enables the verified node once for the whole team.
→
02
Connect your credentials.
Enter the DealerAI API credentials for your store, then run Verify Authentication to confirm the connection before anything goes live.
→
03
Pick a trigger, pick an operation.
Start from any n8n trigger (email, schedule, webhook, spreadsheet) and chain DealerAI operations after it. Activate, and it runs on its own.
Zapier or n8n?
Two ways in. Pick the one your team runs.
Both connect DealerAI to the rest of your stack. They are built for different jobs.
Zapier MCP
Your AI assistant takes action.
- Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor calls DealerAI from a prompt
- 3 focused actions: contacts, ADF, CRM
- Fully hosted by Zapier
n8n node
Your workflows run on their own.
- Scheduled and event-driven automations with branching
- 50+ operations across leads, REACH, inventory, and setup
- n8n Cloud or self-hosted on your own infrastructure
Security & control
Your workflows, on your terms.
Run n8n in the cloud or on your own servers. Either way, DealerAI credentials stay in n8n’s credential store and every execution is visible in your n8n history.
- Verified by n8n: built and maintained by DealerAI, reviewed and listed by n8n.
- Encrypted credentials: stored in n8n’s credential store, never inside workflow JSON you share or export.
- Self-host option: keep the automation layer inside your own infrastructure.
- Execution history: every run, input, and output is logged in n8n for review and retry.
- SOC 2 + PIPEDA: the same compliance posture as the rest of the DealerAI platform.
