How to Set Up Automated Review Requests (Shopify)

Follow these steps to set it up and activate:

✅ Step 1: Access Your Automation

Once you install the WiserNotify Product Review app from the Shopify App Store, your store is automatically connected and a default automation is created for you.

Go to the Automate tab from the left sidebar in WiserReview

You’ll see your Shopify review automation already listed — no manual setup required.

Step 2: Choose Who to Send Review Requests To

Under “Select customers and products to request reviews from”, choose:

  • All customers and products, or
  • Specific customers or products

If you choose specific, set conditions:

  • Select a type (e.g., Product name)
  • Choose a condition (e.g., Does not contain)
  • Enter the value (e.g., addon)
  • Click Add

📝 This helps exclude items like free gifts, internal orders, or low-priority SKUs.

⏱️ Step 3: Set the Timing.

  • Locate the “Send review request after” field

  • Adjust the number of days (e.g., 7, 10, 14) based on delivery time

✉️ Step 4: Choose and Customize the Review Request Template.

Select one of the available Email templates:

  • Single product review
  • Multiple product review

Click Edit to:

  • Update content
  • Add branding
  • Use dynamic tags like {customer_name}{product_name}{review_link}

Click Send Test Email inside the editor to preview the message

Enable Additional Channels (Optional)

  • Connect your Whatsapp & SMS channel or tool to send the review request.
  • Add a message template for WhatsApp or SMS in your marketing channel.

🔁 Step 5: Enable Reminder Emails (Optional)

  • Turn on the Reminder toggle
  • Set how many days later the reminder should be sent (e.g., 3 days after the first email)
  • Choose your reminder template and click Edit to customize
  • Test the reminder email using the Send Test Email button

🎥 Step 6: Enable Media Follow-Up (Optional)

  • Turn on the Media follow up toggle
  • Set delay (e.g., 1 day after review submission)
  • Choose a minimum star rating (e.g., 3 stars) — only customers who rated positively will receive the request
  • Select or edit your email template for collecting media like video testimonials
  • Send a test email before saving

🧪 Step 7: Final Testing and Activation.

Make sure you’ve tested:

  • First review request email
  • Reminder email (if used)
  • Media follow-up email (if used)

After testing, click Save

Ensure the automation is set to ON

You’re done! Your Shopify store will now automatically send beautifully branded, targeted review requests — with reminders and media follow-ups included if enabled.
