Review Generation Settings and Managing First Party Reviews

There are a number of Review Generation settings that you can configure to match your goals when it comes to sending invitations.

These settings are accessible by navigating to Reviews > Generation > Settings.

Setting Detail Notes
Daily Email Invitation Limit 0-200 per entity per day There’s a global account limit to how many review email invites can go out per day. Use this to make sure that no single location uses up all of the resources.
Daily SMS Invitation Limit 0-20 per entity per day There’s a global account limit to how many review text invites can go out per day. Use this to make sure that no single location uses up all of the resources.
Monthly SMS Invitation Limit 0-80 per entity per month Like the daily SMS limit above, there is also a monthly global account limit.
Maximum Contact Frequency Once, Once Every 7 Days, Once Every 30 Days, Once Every 60 Days, or Once Every 90 days
Applies to All Entities, Applies Per Entity
Make sure that you do not contact a single customer more than once in a certain time period, even if they’ve triggered multiple invites. Selecting ‘Once’ will ensure that you will never send more than one review invitation to each customer. You can choose to apply this setting universally to all entities or make it specific to each entity.
Quarantine New 1st Party Reviews 0-120 days This gives you and your team time to review or escalate a review internally before they go live on your website / widget. You can choose to publish a review sooner than that, report as spam, or wait for the quarantine to expire. Check out the Advanced Review Monitoring unit to learn more.
Require Invitations for First Party Reviews Enabled / Disabled If enabled, requests to submit reviews via API will only be accepted if an Invitation UID is included in the request body.
Review Generation Privacy Policy Your own URL Enter your own privacy policy URL. This privacy policy URL will appear on the review generation request page for your consumers, in emails, etc.

Note: Healthcare brands will also need to select their desired HIPAA setting. The options include omitting PHI in reviews or removing reviews with PHI completely. This setting can be found in the Compliance section of Account Settings.
