# Hexon stock import

If you manage your stock in Hexon, the **Forecourt - Hexon** plugin keeps your website up to date automatically. Hexon sends every change, such as a new car, a price change or a sold car, straight to your website.

## Set up the plugin

1. Go to **System \> Plugins**, open **Forecourt - Hexon** and enable it.
2. Enter a **Webhook token**: a long, random secret of your own choice. It makes sure only Hexon can send stock to your website.
3. Save the plugin.

| Enable plugin | Switches the import on or off. |
| --- | --- |
| Webhook token | The secret that Hexon sends with every update. Without a token the plugin refuses all updates. |
| Webhook URL | Shows the address you give to Hexon. |
| Overwrite existing data | When a vehicle already exists, update it with the data from Hexon. Turn this off if you want to edit imported vehicles in Forecourt yourself. |
| Auto-publish new vehicles | Publishes new vehicles straight away. Turn this off if you want to check them before they appear on the website. |

## Connect Hexon

Ask Hexon to send your stock to this address, with your own domain and token filled in:

```
https://www.your-domain.com/index.php?option=com_forecourt&task=hexon.receive&format=raw&token=YOUR-TOKEN
```

For every update your website answers with `OK`, or with `ERR:` and the reason when something went wrong. Hexon shows these answers in its log.

## What is imported

Vehicles are matched on their Hexon number, so an update never creates a duplicate. The make, model, version, technical details, colours, price, price type, VAT or margin, MOT date and description are imported. When Hexon reports a vehicle as removed, Forecourt moves it to the trash.

Photos are not imported from Hexon. Add them in Forecourt on the **Photos & Options** tab of the vehicle.
