How It Works
ContactAtOnce! sends an instant message alert to the answering agent at the beginning of a chat session when the availability of a CARFAX Vehicle History Report can be confirmed.  Key points:

  • The alert is sent at the beginning of the chat conversation
  • The alert is sent to the agent that answers the conversation only
  • The alert is sent only to the agent, not to the customer
  • Important context from the Vehicle History Report is contained within the alert text including accident and One Owner status
