Custom feed / export
CDK Global to Facebook Marketplace via custom feed/export
Short answer
AutoLander does not have a one-click native CDK Global integration. Instead it connects through a dealer-authorized custom feed/export, AutoLander reads that output, and it prepares and syncs eligible vehicles on Facebook Marketplace — with AI photos, walkaround video and automatic sold-removal. Plans from $39/mo.
Can AutoLander post my CDK Global inventory to Facebook Marketplace?
Yes — but to be clear about how: AutoLander does not have a one-click native CDK Global integration. CDK Global stays your system of record, and you give AutoLander a custom dealer-authorized feed/export of that inventory. AutoLander reads the CDK inventory export or syndication feed, builds a configurable queue of eligible Marketplace listings, and keeps them in sync as inventory and prices change. Meta account eligibility and listing limits still apply.
AutoLander runs as a native desktop app, so it posts through your normal Facebook session on your own machine rather than a shared cloud server.
What is CDK Global?
CDK Global is an enterprise dealer management system (DMS) used by franchise and larger dealer groups to run inventory, F&I, service and accounting.
What a CDK export actually requires
CDK’s official data tools are powerful, but they are intended for technical implementations.
- CDK’s Data Export Tool schedules predefined datasets to SFTP, uses PGP encryption and MFA, and can share dealership data with chosen partners. See CDK Data Export tools.
- CDK says the export path requires knowledge of its file structure and dealership operations plus an in-house data warehouse. Confirm AutoLander accepts the mapped vehicle-only output before provisioning a broad DMS dataset.
- CDK’s Export/Import option uses legacy API packages, including Vehicle data, and requires SOAP API expertise. That is a developer integration—not a one-click dealer setting.
How CDK Global connects to AutoLander
First determine whether the dealership already has a vehicle-only website/syndication feed. If not, CDK’s own export tools require a deliberately scoped technical implementation.
- Choose an existing feed or CDK exportPrefer an approved vehicle-inventory feed already used by the dealer website when available. Otherwise scope the CDK Data Export Tool to the smallest required vehicle dataset.
- Secure and map the CDK deliveryArrange the authorized SFTP/PGP delivery and map CDK fields into AutoLander’s inventory format. Test a single rooftop and a small VIN sample before expanding.
- It manages eligible listings and keeps them in syncAutoLander works through eligible vehicles with a configurable queue, refreshes listings as prices change, and removes sold units during reconciliation after your feed marks them gone. Meta account eligibility and listing limits still apply. See how the Facebook Marketplace inventory sync works.
What AutoLander adds on top of your CDK Global data
CDK Global tells AutoLander what is on the lot. AutoLander turns that raw data into high-performing Marketplace listings.
AI Photo Studio
Replaces messy lot backgrounds with clean showroom backdrops, so every listing looks like a professional shoot instead of a phone snap.
AI walkaround video
Generates a short walkaround video for each vehicle — Marketplace and buyers favor video over static photos.
Automatic sold-removal
When your CDK Global feed marks a unit sold, AutoLander removes the matching Marketplace listing during reconciliation, reducing stale-listing inquiries.
Post-to-sale attribution
Tracks which Marketplace posts led to actual vehicle sales — not just clicks, views or messages.
Frequently asked questions
Does AutoLander have a native CDK Global integration?
No. AutoLander does not offer a one-click native CDK Global integration. The connection works through a dealer-authorized custom feed/export from CDK Global or an existing inventory-syndication provider. AutoLander reads that approved output to prepare and sync eligible Marketplace listings.
How does the CDK Global connection work?
The dealer authorizes a CDK inventory export or syndication feed from CDK Global or an existing syndication provider. You point AutoLander at that approved output, your vehicles load, and AutoLander prepares eligible Marketplace listings and keeps them in sync. Meta’s account limits still apply. See how ongoing inventory sync works.
Is a CDK Data Export ready to load directly into AutoLander?
Not automatically. CDK describes secure, broad DMS datasets delivered to SFTP and says implementers need file-structure knowledge and a data warehouse. A vehicle-only subset must be authorized, mapped and tested for AutoLander. Read CDK’s technical overview.
How much does it cost to post CDK Global inventory to Facebook Marketplace?
AutoLander publishes self-serve plans from $39/mo with 5 free posts to start and no credit card required. The same pricing applies however you connect — see all integration options on the Facebook Marketplace integrations page.
What if I use a different system than CDK Global?
AutoLander's verified feed support is CarGurus, Cars.com and custom feeds/exports. Another system may connect if its provider can produce a dealer-authorized export in a supported format. Confirm the format and delivery method before buying; see the integrations hub.
