Enable automatic replies to reviews without comments to save time and improve your response rate. This feature replies automatically to customer reviews without comments via an intelligent rotation system among different response templates.

For an optimal customer experience, the automatic response will be posted within 10 minutes to 3 hours after receiving the review. The same response will not be posted consecutively.

From your settings, you have access to two different tabs dedicated to automatic replies: one for reviews without comments, and the other for those with comments. You can activate them separately according to your needs.

⚠️ Please note that only reviews received after activating the feature will be automatically replied.
