How to set up Auto-Send for review requests

Automate review request emails or texts by scheduling a selected template to send to your contacts automatically.

Auto-Send automatically sends your chosen review request template to newly added contacts after a delay you set. You can base the timing on when a contact was added to your system or on their actual service date.

Setting up Auto-Send automation

  1. Enable the Auto-Send feature

Go to Reputation → Auto-Send in the left-hand navigation. Toggle on the Enable Auto-Send switch to activate it for your account.

CLICK "Auto-Send" then highlight "Enable Auto-Send"
  1. Configure your delay settings

Once enabled, set when Auto-Send should trigger. You can send requests based on either the date the contact was added or the service date, whichever fits your workflow better.

TOGGLE "Enable Auto-Send" then highlight "Enable Auto-Send"
  1. Select your review request template

Pick which template Auto-Send will use from your saved templates. This keeps your messaging consistent across all automated requests.

STAY "Enable Auto-Send" then highlight "Enable Auto-Send"
  1. Set your target timing

Enter the number of days for the delay. Most businesses find 1–3 days after service completion works well. Customers still remember the experience, but it hasn't faded yet.

SCROLL "Auto-Send" then highlight "Enable Auto-Send"
  1. Save your configuration

Click Save to activate your settings. Auto-Send will now send review requests to new contacts based on the timing you configured.

CLICK "Save" then highlight "Save"

Tip: Start with a 2-day delay from the service date for most service-based businesses. This gives customers time to experience your service fully while reaching them before the memory fades.

Monitoring your automation

  1. Review automation status

Check the automation dashboard to see which contacts have been processed and when requests went out. This helps you tell whether your timing settings are working.

Auto-Send is now active and will handle review requests for all newly added contacts going forward. Requests go out in the background while you focus on delivering good service.

Tip: Consider different delay periods for different service types. Quick transactions may work better with a 1-day delay, while longer projects might need 3–5 days for customers to fully evaluate their experience.

What's Next?

  • Monitor your results: Check Reputation → Dashboard regularly to see how Auto-Send affects your review volume

  • Optimize your templates: Head to Reputation → Templates to test different message styles and see what resonates with your customers

  • Adjust timing: Fine-tune your delay settings in Reputation → Auto-Send based on response rates and customer feedback

  • Set up manual requests: Use Reputation → Send for cases that need immediate attention

Note on current UI: The Auto-Send page currently shows only the Enable Auto-Send toggle and a Save button. The delay and template controls described in steps 2–4 above appear after the toggle is turned on. If you don't see those options, make sure the Enable Auto-Send switch is toggled on before looking for the additional settings.
