About This Automation

Requesting reviews and referrals after a completed job is a manual, multi-step chore involving pulling contact details, drafting messages, and tracking responses in a spreadsheet.

An automated version sends a personalized review request the moment a job closes, follows up if there is no response, and flags new reviews for a quick approved reply.

Key features:
Sends a personalized review request automatically when a job is marked complete
Follows up with a polite reminder if the customer has not responded
Monitors review platforms daily and drafts a suggested reply for approval
Identifies repeat or high-satisfaction customers as referral candidates
Sends referral offers and incentive details without manual drafting
Logs referral source and reward status automatically in the CRM
