📸 Unlock media reminder automation to showcase rich, authentic reviews with a 15-day free trial of the Judge.me Awesome plan.
The Media Reminder Email helps you collect more photo and video reviews by prompting customers to submit media if they haven’t done so initially. This increases shopper engagement and provides valuable social proof right where it matters most.
In this article, you’ll learn how it works, how to enable it, and how to customize it to match your brand.
How it works
When a customer submits a text-only review (without a photo or video), Judge.me automatically sends a media reminder email prompting them to update their review with media.
You can customize:
When the reminder is sent (e.g., after 3 days)
Who receives it (based on star rating or blacklist)
What the email says (template)
Reviewers who click the email will be redirected to a dedicated media submission page, where they can easily upload their photos or videos without needing to resubmit their review.
Here’s an example of the submission page:
How to enable the Media Reminder Email

Under Post-review notifications, click Edit next to Media reminder.
Enable the option: Send a reminder if customers leave a review without a picture or video.
In the Send reminder after field, choose how many days after the initial review you want to send the reminder (e.g., 3 days after).
In the Minimum stars rating for reminders dropdown, choose when reminders should be triggered:
