Overview
The CoDriver Manual Outbound feature allows brokers to send emails to carriers directly from the load details page, asking for their interest in specific loads. This streamlines communication, saves time on repetitive tasks, and keeps all conversations and quotes organized within Parade.
How It Works
1. Select a Load:
• Navigate to the load details page.
• Scroll to find the carrier you wish to contact.
2. Trigger the Email:
• Click the “Email with CoDriver” button to send an outbound message to eligible carriers.
• If the carrier is not qualified, the button will be greyed out with a message explaining why: "This carrier has failed the identity provider qualification. Contact the support for more information"
3. Edit and Confirm:
• The subject line and other elements are pre-configured for consistency. You can customize the email body as needed by clicking the "Review message" to open its details.
• Once ready, click “Confirm” to send the email.
4. Track the Conversation:
• View all conversations in the CoDriver tab, where you can find triggered outbound messages and their progress.
• Quotes from carriers appear in the Quotes tab for further action.
In the Direct Matches tab, we will show an "Open Conversation" button,
And you will be redirected to the CoDriver Inquiries,
