Reviews & UGC Collection

Q: Will the automation send review requests to customers who already left a review?

No. The system checks your CRM and review platforms to exclude customers who have already submitted a review or been contacted, preventing duplicate requests.

Q: Can we use this with our existing CRM and email service?

Yes. The automation integrates with mainstream CRMs, email platforms, and review services.

Q: How does the system handle UGC from TikTok and Facebook, not just Instagram?

The automation monitors all major social platforms for your brand hashtag and mentions, then compiles everything into one dashboard so you can review and approve content from any source.

Q: Do we still need to approve content before it goes live?

Yes. The AI agent pre-screens submissions and flags them for human review, but your team always has the final say on what gets published to your website and social channels.

Turn every fulfilled order into a steady stream of verified reviews and customer photos without manual follow-up.

About This Automation

Collecting customer reviews and user-generated content manually requires daily monitoring across multiple platforms, manual email outreach, and tedious spreadsheet compilation. This fragmented approach wastes time and misses opportunities to showcase customer content.

Automation identifies eligible customers, sends review requests, monitors submissions across platforms, and compiles content into a single dashboard. Approved reviews and UGC post automatically to the website and social channels.

Key features:

Automatically identify customers eligible for review requests based on delivery date and prior outreach history

Send personalized review request emails on a schedule without manual composition

Monitor review platforms and social media feeds in real time for new submissions

Compile reviews and UGC into a centralized dashboard with metadata and quality flags

Evaluate submissions against brand guidelines and flag content for human approval

Publish approved reviews to product pages and schedule UGC posts to social channels

Top friction points when done manually

The issues teams report most often with this process

#	Friction point	Companies Report This
1	Manual spreadsheet compilation Copying review text, ratings, images, and links into spreadsheets across multiple platforms creates duplicate data entry and formatting inconsistencies.	80%
2	Daily platform monitoring Checking Trustpilot, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook separately each day is time-consuming and prone to missed submissions.	67%
3	Repetitive email composition Manually writing and personalizing review request emails for dozens of customers each week is tedious and inconsistent.	53%
4	Delayed content publishing Manual approval workflows and CMS updates mean approved content takes days to appear on product pages or social channels.	40%
5	Permission tracking gaps Following up with UGC contributors for repost permission via direct message is slow and creates bottlenecks in the publishing workflow.	26%

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order Marked Deliveredtrigger

Automation detects when an order status changes to delivered in the order management system. The customer becomes eligible for a review request.

2. Send Review Request Email

A personalized review request email is sent automatically to the customer with a direct link to the review platform and a simple feedback form.

3. Monitor Review Platforms

The automation polls and other review platforms hourly for new submissions and automatically captures the review text, rating, customer name, and timestamp.

4. Collect Social Media Posts

The automation searches for posts tagged with the brand hashtag and captures post metadata, images, captions, and creator information.

5. Review Quality & Brand Safety

The automation reviews each submission against brand guidelines, checks for authenticity and quality, and flags submissions for human approval. Approved submissions are routed forward automatically.

6. Request Creator Permission

For social media UGC, an automated message is sent to the original creator requesting permission to repost. The automation waits for confirmation before publishing.

7. Publish to Website and Social

Approved reviews are posted to product pages and approved UGC is published and other social channels with proper attribution and links.

8. Log Completion

A summary notification is sent confirming how many reviews and UGC posts were published, and flagging any submissions that require manual review.
