How it connects to HubSpotTrade Me Motors
Syncs every callTrade Me's listing-enquiries endpoint lets FirstVoice poll for and relay new Motors buyer enquiries, though this is a pull (polled), not a real-time push.
How it connects to Trade Me MotorsSalesforce
Connects via automationSalesforce users can have new records created and existing records found via Zapier, Make, or Salesforce's own REST/GraphQL API after every call.
MotorCentral
Works alongsideMotorCentral has no confirmed API — its Auto Attendant only auto-replies to email, so FirstVoice fills the voice gap with a texted summary instead of a direct DMS write.

Typical prices for car dealerships in NZ.
Do AI phone systems make booking a car service slower?
They can if they're badly set up, and long menus and repeated questions are the usual complaint. A good AI receptionist asks only what it needs, like the vehicle, rego and preferred day, and gets the booking to your service desk in one call. If it can't, it should hand over to a person.
What does FirstVoice do with urgent calls for car dealerships?
It follows the urgent-call rules you set and flags those calls to you straight away, or transfers them live on Growth and Scale. For car dealerships that usually means calls like a hot lead about to buy elsewhere, after-sale safety defects and finance approval deadlines. Life-threatening emergencies are directed to 111.
Does FirstVoice work with HubSpot?
Yes. FirstVoice connects straight to HubSpot, finds or creates the contact, logs every call and books meetings through your HubSpot scheduling page. It also works with Trade Me Motors, Salesforce and MotorCentral.
How much does an AI receptionist cost for car dealerships?
Connecting HubSpot is included from Growth at $597 a month. Starter is $297 a month with calendar booking.
