Reviews & Referral Requests

Q: How does the automation capture referral information?

Clients submit referral details through a form embedded in the review request email or reply directly. The system extracts names and contact information and creates new leads in your CRM automatically.

Q: Can the automation track reviews across multiple platforms?

The system monitors email replies and integrates with major review platforms to track completion status. You see a consolidated dashboard showing which clients have left reviews.

Q: What happens if a client doesn't respond to the initial review request?

The automation sends a follow-up reminder after seven days. Non-responders are flagged in your dashboard so you can decide whether to reach out manually.

Q: Will the emails feel personalized or generic?

The automation generates warm, personalized emails using client names, event dates, and venue details. Each message feels specific to the couple, not templated.

Turn happy couples into a steady source of five-star reviews and warm referral leads without chasing anyone manually.

Key features:

Identify completed weddings automatically and trigger review requests within hours of the event

Generate personalized review request emails that feel warm and specific to each couple

Monitor review platforms and email inboxes to track which clients have left reviews

Capture referral submissions from clients and create new contact records in the CRM

Send follow-up reminders to non-responders on a set schedule

Consolidate all review and referral data in one dashboard for reporting
