Auto Respond

Positive reviews answered automatically. Tricky ones wait for you.

Set the rules once: which star ratings, which sites, what tone. Happy customers get a warm thank-you within minutes, even on a Saturday night, and anything below your threshold waits for a human.

  • Rules by star rating and site
  • Optional approval by email
  • Clears old unanswered reviews, up to 100 a day

What Auto Respond does

Your rules

Choose the star range (say, 4 and 5 stars) and the sites (Google, Facebook or both), and set different rules per location.

A natural delay

Replies can wait up to 24 hours before posting, so they don't look instant and robotic.

Approve by email if you prefer

Each reply can come to you first with Approve and Customise buttons. No login needed.

Clear the backlog

Have dozens of old reviews with no reply? Auto Respond works through them at 1 to 100 a day, with progress you can pause or stop.

AI or set wording

Use AI drafts that mention what the reviewer said, or a fixed thank-you template.

Never twice

Each review is answered once, and new reviews and backlog clearing never overlap.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Create a rule

    For example: 5-star Google reviews get a warm AI reply after 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Decide on approval

    Post automatically, or approve each reply from your inbox.

  3. Step 3

    Clear the old ones

    Start a backlog run and watch your reply rate climb.

Auto Respond: questions

Will customers know the reply was automatic?

The reply mentions what they said and posts after a short delay you choose, so it reads like you took a moment to answer.

Can I pause it?

Yes. Pause any rule at any time, and backlog runs can be paused, resumed or cancelled.

What about negative reviews?

They wait for you by default. You get an alert and an AI draft to help you answer.
