Syndication Through FTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the essential methods for promptly sending your vehicle inventory to HeyAutos ecosystem. This section offers a step-by-step guide on using FTP for syndication, ensuring your inventory remains up-to-date and accessible.

Obtaining FTP credentials​

If you plan to syndicate your inventory to HeyAuto through FTP, simply request FTP credentials from our technical support team at it@heyauto.com. These credentials will provide you with access to your personal FTP folder, including the FTP server's host, a unique username, and a specific password. With these credentials, you can easily upload your inventory feeds in CSV format.

Where to put FTP files​

When connected, FTP files should be stored in the root directory of the FTP server, which is unique to your credentials.

What files should be uploaded to the FTP server​

Uploaded files on the FTP server must be in CSV format and meet the CSV File Requirements specified in this documentation.

How often should these files be updated​

For the best experience and the most up-to-date dealership inventory data, it's recommended to upload FTP files to HeyAutos FTP server daily.
