About This Automation

Reviews and referral requests are the process of following up with clients after a completed event to request feedback and referrals. Handling this manually across each job creates delays and inconsistent follow-through.

Automation identifies completed events, sends personalized thank-the team and review request messages, and monitors responses. It also triggers replies and referral offers automatically, improving response speed and consistency.

Key features
Drafts personalized thank-you and review request emails automatically after each completed event.
Inserts review and referral links without manual copy-pasting.
Monitors review platforms and sends automatic reminders when no review appears.
Posts thank-you replies to positive reviews without delay.
Sends referral discount offers automatically once a review or referral is confirmed.
Logs review and referral status for reporting.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Job Marked Completetrigger

When a catering event's status changes to Completed, the workflow starts automatically with the client and event details attached.

2. Draft Thank-You And Review Email

The automation drafts a personalized email referencing the event, guest count, and menu, then inserts direct links to the Google review page and referral offer.

3. Send Review Request

The email sends automatically through the connected account, timed for two days after the event.

4. Send SMS Reminder

If no review appears within 5 days, an automatic text reminder goes out with the direct review link.

5. Detect New Review

The platform checks daily and pulls in the new review text and star rating the moment it posts.

6. Owner Drafts Personal Response

Reviews of 1 to 3 stars route to the owner to write a personal, careful reply rather than posting anything automatically.

7. Auto-Post Thank-You Reply

Reviews of 4 to 5 stars get an AI-drafted thank-you reply posted straight back.

8. Send Referral Offer

Once a positive review or referral is confirmed, a referral thank-you email with a discount code sends automatically.
