Four Ways to Automate Your Review Collection

Praising.ai reaches customers on every channel — so you capture reviews from buyers who prefer email, text, chat, or a quick scan.

Most popular

Email Campaigns

Send branded review request emails triggered by customer interactions — checkout, appointment completion, delivery. Custom subject lines, automatic follow-ups, and unsubscribe handling built in.

SMS Review Requests

Text messages land where email doesn't. On paid plans, you send a short, personal SMS by hand from the Send page, with a one-tap review link. Open rates for SMS sit around 98% — hard to beat for time-sensitive requests.

QR Code Collection

Generate a custom QR code linked to your review flow. Print it on receipts, table tents, packaging, or your front door. One scan, one tap, done. No app required for the customer.

How Automated Review Collection Works

From first connection to your first new review — here's what happens inside Praising.ai.

01

Connect your systems

Upload a CSV or add customers by hand, or on paid plans let your POS, booking software, CRM or ecommerce store add them through the API and webhooks. Setup takes under 10 minutes.

02

Set your triggers

Define when a review request fires: after a purchase, appointment, service call, or delivery. Set timing rules — send 1 hour after checkout, 24 hours after service, or on a custom delay. Praising.ai handles the rest.

03

Personalise the request

Add the customer's name, the service they received, and your brand tone to every message. Personalised requests convert significantly better than generic blasts. Praising.ai fills in the details automatically.

04

Watch reviews come in

Customers get a short, friendly request. They tap one link and leave a review on the platform you chose. Track your email campaigns, texts and QR codes in a single dashboard.

Questions About Automating Review Collection

How long before I start seeing more reviews?
Most businesses see the first automated reviews within 24–48 hours of launching their first campaign. The pace depends on your transaction volume — a busy restaurant might collect 20+ reviews in a week, while a low-volume service business might see 5–10. The key improvement is consistency: every customer gets a request, which isn't the case with manual outreach.
What if a customer leaves a negative review?
Negative reviews land in your inbox with the rest, so you can reply quickly. Customers who open your review link can also choose to send you a private message, which gives you a chance to resolve a problem directly.
Will automated requests feel spammy to customers?
Not when they're done right. Praising.ai sends one request per transaction, at the right timing, using the customer's name and context from the interaction. Customers who just had a good experience genuinely want to leave a review — they just need a simple prompt. The one-tap link removes all friction.
Can I pause or stop campaigns at any time?
Yes. You can pause, edit, or stop any campaign from the Praising.ai dashboard with one click. There's no minimum campaign duration, and pausing doesn't affect your subscription.
