***URGENT*** Call to the industry builder community - It's time for interoperability Please sign the petition!

[MattCopley]

It’s 2026.

Your DMS has an API.
Your CRM has an API.
Your CDP has an API.
AI can apparently write the software.

But publishing a blog to your own dealership website can still require someone to log into a CMS and manually click buttons like it’s 2012.

That feels… fixable.

So we’re putting a pretty simple question to the industry:

Why shouldn’t dealers be able to plug the tools they choose into the websites they pay for?

Open APIs.
Webhooks.
MCP.
Authorized third-party access.
Real documentation.
Dealer choice.

Bring Hrizn. Bring Codex. Bring Claude. Bring whatever your team wants to build with.

We’d much rather integrate than replace.

And I’d genuinely like to hear the counterargument here, because at this point your toaster may have better interoperability than your dealership website.

If you agree, add your name here: Plug into your website backend. Demand open API access.

Plug into your website backend. Demand open API access.
Plug into your website backend. Demand open API access.
We Rise Together.
