VIN Lookup is a service for the automatic identification of brand, model, year, engine displacement, and other parameters of a car by its VIN code.
Important: this integration is available starting from the Startup plan.
How to Enable and Configure an Integration with VIN Lookup
1. On the Settings > Integrations page, find the VIN Lookup integration in the "Other" section and click Configure.
2. Check the "Integration enabled" checkbox.
3. Select an asset group for which the automatic detection will work.
Keep in mind that asset groups are created and configured in the multi-level asset directory on the Settings > Directories > Assets page.
4. Configure field matching.
On the left, you’ll see what information fields about the car are displayed when the integration is configured: Brand, Model, Modification, Year, Body, Doors, Engine displacement, Fuel, Horsepower.
On the right side, you need to select a matching field of the asset form.
Please note that you can customize the asset form on the page "Settings > Form Editor > Assets".
5. Click Save.
Done! The integration is enabled and configured.
How the VIN Lookup Integration Works
When creating an asset or work order, enter the correct VIN code of the vehicle in the “VIN” system field and click on the magnifying glass icon to search.
If the entered VIN code is correct, the other product fields that you specified in the integration settings will be automatically filled with the vehicle information.
If the entered value is incorrect, e.g., the number of characters is insufficient or the number is not registered, the other asset fields will remain empty. In this case, we recommend that you double-check the entered number or enter the data manually.
