Toyota of Orlando receives 200+ daily leads in inconsistent formats. Its operations director built a 38-step Zap that uses AI to extract, clean, and route leads, after first building a stopgap CRM in Zapier during the month-long CDK ransomware outage. The Zapier story does not attribute a measured outcome to the AI routing.
