Setting up your review reminders

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Available on the Awesome plan

Review reminders help increase response rates by automatically following up with customers who haven’t submitted a review after the initial request — helping you boost conversions with minimal effort.


How the reminder flow works

Here’s a quick look at how review reminders are sent after it's enabled:

  • Your customer places an order.

  • The order is marked as fulfilled in your store.

  • We schedule and send the initial review requests per your flow settings.

  • After all initial request emails for the order are sent and delivered, we wait for your configured delay then check whether the customer opened the requests and submitted a review.

Then, one of the following happens:

  • If the customer already submitted a review, no reminders will be sent.

  • If the customer opened the request but didn't submit a review, we will send up to 3 reminder emails, depending on your settings.

  • If the customer didn't open the request, the reminder will be skipped.

Once a reminder is skipped, it will not be sent later, even if the customer opens the initial request afterward.

If you set up more than 1 reminder, the same logic applies to each reminder.


Considerations

  • All review reminder emails are sent from requests@judgeme.email, regardless of your custom sender settings, to protect your domain’s reputation and ensures better email deliverability.


Enable and customize your review reminders

1. Enable review reminders

To enable the review reminders:

  1. From your Judge.me admin, go to Collect Reviews > Schedule and Reminders.

  2. Scroll down to the Automatic reminders section and enable "Send automatic reminders".

  3. In the Number of reminders per order dropdown, choose how many reminders (1 to 3) to send for each request in an order.

  4. Click Save.

If you send more than one reminder per order, the second and third emails are more likely to be flagged as spam. To maintain good deliverability and avoid overwhelming your customers, we recommend limiting reminders to just one.

Note:
These changes will apply to new orders fulfilled after the settings are saved. Existing requests will not be updated.

Example of a review reminder flow


"Send a single email" is selected

Let’s say a customer places an order with 3 products, and your settings are:

  • Review requests sent 7 days after fulfillment

  • Request for a maximum of 2 products per order

  • "Send a single email" is selected

  • 2 reminders per request

  • Follow-up requests and reminders delay set to 3 days

  • The customer opens the initial request but doesn't submit any reviews

Here’s what happens:

  1. The order is marked as fulfilled in your store.

  2. After 7 days, a review request email is sent containing requests for 2 products.

  3. We wait for 3 days, then check whether the customer opened the request and submitted a review.

  4. Since the customer opened the request but didn’t leave a review, we send the first reminder.

  5. We wait another 3 days (same delay) after the first reminder.

    • If the first reminder was opened but no review was submitted, we send the second reminder.

    • If the first reminder was not opened, the second reminder is skipped.


"Send a separate email for each product (Default)" is selected

Let’s say a customer places an order with 3 products, and your settings are:

  • Review requests sent 7 days after fulfillment

  • Request for a maximum of 2 products per order

  • "Send a separate email for each product (Default)" is selected

  • 2 reminders per request

  • Follow-up requests and reminders delay set to 3 days

  • The customer opens both initial requests, but doesn't submit any reviews

Here’s what happens:

  1. The order is marked as fulfilled in your store.

  2. After 7 days, we send the review request for the first product.

  3. We wait for 3 days then send the review request for the second product.

  4. We wait another 3 days then check whether the customer opened the first request and submitted a review.

  5. Since the customer opened the request but didn’t leave a review, we send the first reminder for the first request.

  6. We wait another 3 days then check whether the customer opened the second request and submitted a review.

  7. Since the customer also opened this request but didn’t leave a review, we send the first reminder for the second request.

  8. We wait another 3 days then check the first reminder for the first request.

    • If the first reminder was opened but no review was submitted, we send the second reminder for the first request.

    • If the first reminder was not opened, the second reminder is skipped.

  9. We wait another 3 days then check the first reminder for the second request.

    • If the first reminder was opened but no review was submitted, we send the second reminder for the second request.

    • If the first reminder was not opened, the second reminder is skipped.
