Reviews & CSI Follow-Up

Q: Do we still need someone to reach out on flagged negative reviews?

Yes, a manager still handles the actual outreach to unhappy customers. The automation only identifies and routes those cases so nothing gets missed.

Q: Will this work with our existing CRM and messaging tools?

The automation connects to the CRM, email, and texting tools your dealership already uses. There is no need to switch platforms or migrate customer records.

Q: What happens to our current review tracking spreadsheet?

Historical review and CSI data can be imported so tracking continues without gaps. New responses then log automatically in the same familiar format.

Q: What if a customer responds outside normal business hours or through an unexpected channel?

The system watches multiple channels continuously, so responses are caught and logged regardless of when they arrive. Anything unusual gets flagged for a human to review.

Turn every closed deal into a verified review and a completed CSI survey without your team lifting a finger.

About This Automation

Reviews and CSI follow-up requires pulling delivery records, drafting personalized outreach, and monitoring multiple review and survey sources. Doing this manually spreads attention across many tools and often delays outreach and follow-up on negative feedback.

The automated version sends review requests and reminders the moment a delivery is confirmed and continuously monitors incoming responses. It flags negative feedback for immediate follow-up and keeps records updated in real time.

Key features:

Sends personalized review request emails immediately after a vehicle delivery is confirmed.

Triggers SMS reminders automatically when a review request goes unopened.

Monitors review and survey sources continuously for new responses.

Scores incoming feedback and flags negative reviews for manager follow-up.

Logs every review and CSI response automatically in a shared tracking record.

Keeps customer contact details synced between delivery and outreach steps.
