Personal Email

Personal Email is email received in your Personal Email folder. It includes email from other Web Control users, non-deliverable email and personal correspondence.

Personal email is also delivered to the manager who owns the "sales@" address and in many instances it may include email from a lead that is received from an unrecognized Lead Source Provider (LSP) that cannot be parsed into a prospect.

Important Note:

Leads that cannot be parsed may mean that the Lead Source providers is not in your dealership's source list, or that a modification has been made to the lead format by the provider.

To have a new source added to the list of predefined Internet sources contact AVV Customer Support. To have a source parsed, refer to the instructions on parsing leads below in the message option buttons section.
