There's no better way to jumpstart your new review profile with TrustSpot than to invite past customers to leave you a review.

Overview

Being able to invite past customers to leave reviews is a great way to generate reviews from your customer base - so you're not losing out on the opportunity to get their feedback.

With TrustSpot, you can invite past customers in 2 ways: 

  • Direct Request - one request to a single customer at a time

  • Bulk Invite Customers - requests to many customers at a time

Invite past customers for Company Reviews

From the Company Reviews Tab, select "Request Reviews".

For Company Review > Email Campaign Editor > Manual Invite > Direct Request, you will need to enter in their:

  • Customer Name

  • Customer Email

Once you enter that information and click "Send Review Request", that will place your email in a queue and send it out within 15 - 20 minutes. 

For Company Reviews > Email Campaign Editor > Manual Invite > Bulk Invite, you will need to create a CSV file (template available in TrustSpot) with the following information:

  • Customer Name

  • Customer Email 

The file can have a max row length of 1,000.  Once you click "Upload CSV", it will be sent to our moderation team to review. Once we approve the upload, you'll be notified via email. If we find an issue, we will decline it and send you an email with the reason. 

Once we approve the bulk invite, the emails will send within 15 - 20 minutes.

Inviting past customers for Product Reviews

The process for inviting customers for Product Reviews is the same process, except with Product Reviews you have to select or add the Product SKU/ID (depending on your method). 

For Product Reviews > Email Campaign Editor > Manual Invite > Direct Request, you will need to enter in their:

  • Customer Name

  • Customer Email

  • Product   (select the product from a dropdown) 

For Product Reviews > Email Campaign Editor > Manual Invite > Bulk Invite, you will need to make a CSV file (template available in TrustSpot) with the following information:

  • Customer Name

  • Customer Email

  • Product SKU/ID (depends on your eCommerce platform, please reach out to support if you have questions). 

Note:  The product MUST exist in TrustSpot before we send out the direct request or bulk invite. You can check and see your products that are added, by going to Product Reviews > Products.

The file can have a max row length of 1,000.  Once you click "Upload CSV", it will be sent to our moderation team to review. Once we approve the upload, you'll be notified via email. If we find an issue, we will decline it and send you an email with the reason. 

Once we approve the bulk invite, the emails will send within 15 - 20 minutes.
