Reviews & Referral Requests

Q: Can the automation personalize emails based on the type of coaching session?

Yes. The system pulls session details from your CRM and customizes each email based on the coaching topic, client history, and engagement level to improve response rates.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing CRM and email tools?

The automation integrates with HubSpot, Gmail, Google Sheets, and other mainstream platforms your team already uses. No new tools are required.

Q: What happens to reviews once clients submit them?

Review text is automatically extracted from client emails and logged directly into the client record in your CRM, eliminating manual copy-paste work.

Q: Does the automation require any manual setup or ongoing maintenance?

Initial setup connects your calendar, CRM, and email. After that, the system runs automatically with minimal oversight; you can adjust reminder timing or email templates as needed.

Clients who finish a coaching engagement automatically receive a timely, personal-feeling ask for a review and a warm referral prompt.

About This Automation

Requesting reviews and referrals from clients is essential for growing a coaching business, but manually tracking completed sessions, composing personalized emails, and following up with non-responders consumes significant time each week.

Automation monitors completed sessions and sends personalized review requests immediately, tracks client responses, and reminds non-responders automatically. Reviews are captured and logged directly into the CRM, freeing coaches to focus on client work instead of administrative follow-up.

Key features:

Monitor completed sessions and trigger review requests automatically

Personalize each email based on session type and client history

Track client responses and send reminders to non-responders after 7 days

Extract review text from client replies and prepare it for logging

Log reviews directly into the CRM and update tracking records

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Session Marked Completetrigger

Automation detects when a client session is marked complete in the calendar or CRM. This triggers the review request workflow immediately.

2. Fetch Client Details

The automation retrieves the client's name, email, and session details. This data is used to personalise the review request.

3. Send Review Request Email

A personalised review request email is sent to the client. The email includes a link to a simple feedback form or reply instructions.

4. Log Request

The automation creates a task or noteing that a review request was sent and the date it was sent.

5. Wait and Monitor Response

The automation waits 7 days for a response. If no reply is received, it triggers a reminder workflow.

6. Send Reminder Email

If the client has not replied after 7 days, a gentle reminder email is sent automatically.

7. Notify Coach of Review

When a review is received, the automation sends a notification to the coach with the review text and client name, ready for logging.
