Send and receive leads in standard ADF/XML format — forward lead data to any email or ingest ADF leads into Ekho automatically.
Get startedADF (Auto-lead Data Format) is the industry-standard XML format for exchanging lead information between dealership systems. Ekho supports ADF in both directions — forward lead details (name, contact info, vehicle of interest, trade-in, comments) to any designated email address in ADF format, and receive inbound ADF emails to automatically create or update leads inside Ekho. This means Ekho plugs into any CRM, lead provider, or OEM lead distribution system that speaks ADF without custom development.
To send ADF leads, go to Settings → Lead Routing and add a forwarding rule with the destination email address. Ekho sends a standards-compliant ADF/XML email for every new lead. To receive ADF, configure your lead source to send ADF emails to your dealership's unique Ekho ingest address (shown in Settings → Lead Routing → Inbound). Ekho parses the ADF payload and creates or updates the lead record automatically.
