Review Request System Enhancements
in progress

Waira Mendoza
The current review request system works okay, though there is a lot of room for improvement in order to compete with other reputation management platforms out there. These are my top recommended review system enhancements:
- Provide the ability to trigger review requests just like any other triggers. Currently review requests can only be sent manually via the "check in," button, or after a timed delay. This does not work for customers who should be sent a review request at some point in the future. Give us the ability to trigger a "review request," within the trigger actions.
- Disable the "check in," button. This button is useless for many types of businesses that don't necessarily "check in," their customers. Point #1 would also render this button not needed as we could then automate review requests based on triggers.
- Ability to customize and create follow up text and email messages within the review request feature. The majority of reviews online will not come from the first request. Allowing us to create follow up messages will increase the number of reviews we can generate for our customers.
- Provide a trigger for "New Review Received," which would allow to send an email notification to our clients whenever a new review has been detected by the system on Facebook or Google. (The system is already tracking these reviews and allows us to respond to them from within the platform). This is a very standard feature on all rep management software.
- Lastly, with follow up sequences we would need the ability to stop the remaining sequences in the campaign as soon as someone clicks on the review link. This could certainly be accomplished with trigger links, but it might be beneficial to have this feature be build natively into the Review Request system.
NOTE: All of this could be achieved also by eliminating the "Review Request," email and text feature and simply connecting the Review Request tracking tab with the regular campaigns. This way we could customize as many follow ups as we want and send them out and they would be tracked within the Review Requests tab.

Give us the option to toggle whether we use this feature or not. Currently about 50% of the reputation overview page is dedicated to reporting on this feature and it ruins the experience if you aren't actively using it.
Don't get me wrong, this is feature is great when you use it, however not all people are going to use this particular feature and dedicating half of the main page to it ruins the experience.
Just look how terrible the current overview page looks if you are not using invites or listings. In my opinion this is unpresentable to a client.
It would be nice if the overview page look nice based on what you're using.
Maybe also an all time view so you could see total reviews across all platforms (currently impossible)
All time average rating (currently impossible)
historical look at reviews (currently impossible)
IDK, I just feel like so much potential is lost here and it's so obvious. check brightlocal for a much better version of this to copy.

What if they open {{review_link}} but forget to post a review? What about if contact name is John Smith but via Google is JS?

For multi-location businesses who have reviews coming in through Google, I'd love a way to be able to segment the location in automations! (ex. Location A receives a review > send an email notification to Location A Manager, & Location B receives a review > send an email notification to Location B Manager). We can currently segment AI replies by Google Profile Location, but not the automations!

Lexy Taylor: Thanks for your feedback. Our team has added this in our upcoming roadmap and this will be resolved soon.

make this work for multi location businesses as well, if you are a restaurant with 5 locations, you need a system that works for all 5, currently GHL only supports one location per sub account which is a huge pain for any business with more than one location.

What's this "check-in" button?? -- I see it all over the place on relatively older videos and screenshots (something deprecated I assume), but what was the point of it?

I also want to be able to trigger a workflow when a review request is sent. Or simply being able to add a tag would be huge!

Great suggestions! Would also love to see a Custom Value be created for the Review Request link so this can be used in workflow emails/SMS/etc. easily

Linn Kloster, great addition.

Also would love to see the ability to connect a different email to
the
Review email. The send review trigger and other features are great but useless when theres only one email that can possibly be connected to it. Being able to edit the review email is great but when managing dozens upon dozens of subaccounts, I have to individually edit and update so many of these review emails. Would just be nice to be able to build out my own email and link it in the reputation manager as the
review email. Orrr be able to push edits from one review email out to multiple subaccounts.C

This, but also the ability to have the review request email going to a funnel, to be able to segment out negative sentiment, collect feedback via forms for negative experiences, and collect reviews for positive experiences. Currently I cannot send out a review request using the reputation feature because the email does not contain a review link

Item 5 would be easily accomplished if we had Item 4. The first action of a Workflow triggered by Review Received would be Remove from Review Request Workflow.
Shaun Clark, I am sure there must be a significant technical issue with the concept of Review Received. But this one is incredibly confusing. With the rush to field new features, why has this Trigger been left in limbo for so long? Knowing when a review comes in and taking immediate action seems like a core capability of any Rep Mgmt sys.

Item 2 should be an optional toggle. For those businesses where a "check in now" or "send review request" button makes operational sense, we should have the option to continue offering it.
