Reviews & Referral Requests

Q: How does the automation know which attendees are high-value or first-time?

The segmentation agent analyzes ticket tier, attendance history, and engagement signals from your event platform and CRM to classify each attendee. You define the rules that determine each segment.

Q: Can I use this with my existing email and CRM tools?

Yes. The automation works with Gmail, HubSpot, Google Sheets, Typeform, and other mainstream tools.

Q: What happens to referral leads that are mentioned in email replies?

The referral extraction agent reads email replies, identifies company names and contact details, and automatically creates new contacts in your CRM linked to the original attendee as the referral source.

Q: Will the automation handle events of different sizes?

Yes. The system scales to handle small intimate events or large conferences.

Turn happy clients into a steady stream of reviews and warm referrals without chasing anyone by hand.
