  DealerSocket is an automotive dealership CRM and Dealer Management System
  (DMS) software platform for franchise and independent auto dealers, covering
  customer relationship management, inventory management, websites, digital
  marketing, and desking/deals. DealerSocket is a Solera company (acquired 2021;
  part of Solera's Vehicle Solutions line of business). DealerSocket exposes a
  set of inbound and outbound integration APIs - lead forwarding, deal push to
  the DMS, customer updates, activity and CTI/call logging - but access is not
  self-serve. It is delivered through DealerSocket's Certified Partners program
  (launched 2013, 500-plus integration points) and is application-, contract-,
  and certification-gated. There is no public developer portal, no published
  authentication reference, and no public endpoint or base-URL documentation;
  the logical APIs below are modeled from DealerSocket's public integrations
  page rather than a self-serve API reference.

    Lead and CRM integration surface. Includes the outbound Lead Forwarding
    Service (forwards incoming and processed dealership lead data to a
    third-party vendor as XML or email), inbound Activity Insert/Update (create
    or update activity/to-do records such as calls, appointments, work notes,
    and web leads), and EntitySync (link website visitor data to existing
    customer records). Access is partner- and certification-gated; specific
    endpoints, base URL, and authentication are not publicly documented, so this
    entry is modeled from DealerSocket's public integrations listing.

    Inbound customer integration surface. The Customer Update integration
    modifies customer records in DealerSocket CRM (with insert of not-yet-found
    customers noted as forthcoming on the public integrations page). Used by
    certified third parties to keep dealership customer data in sync. Access is
    partner- and certification-gated; endpoints, base URL, and authentication
    are not publicly documented, so this entry is modeled from DealerSocket's
    public integrations listing.

    Outbound deal integration surface. Deal Push Basic performs a one-way push
    of basic deal data (customer, co-buyer, salesperson, and vehicle of
    interest) to the DMS, and Deal Push Advanced extends it with desking and
    financial information. Used to move showroom/desking deals from DealerSocket
    into a dealer management system. Access is partner- and certification-gated;
    endpoints, base URL, and authentication are not publicly documented, so this
    entry is modeled from DealerSocket's public integrations listing.
