Adding a review request manually

Updated today

Available on the Free plan

By default, review requests are scheduled when an order is fulfilled, but you might need to add a review request manually in these cases:

  • The automatic review request is skipped because the order doesn't include an email address.

  • You want to ask a customer who buys the products offline to leave a review.

  • A customer would like to review the product even before the order is fulfilled.

How it works

Here’s a quick look at what happens when a review request is created manually:

  1. You add a review request in manually. The request will show in the Requests dashboard with a Manual label.

  2. We check if the request is valid (e.g. customer hasn’t unsubscribed, product is not excluded) and update its status accordingly.

    • If the request is valid, it will appear in the Requests dashboard as "Will send".

    • If the request is not valid, it will be skipped.

  3. After 10 minutes, we send out the review request emails automatically.

Considerations

  • Requests scheduled manually will not trigger a review request event to Klaviyo. The review request emails will be sent with Judge.me templates.

Steps to add a review request manually

To manually schedule a review request:

  1. From your Judge.me admin, go to Collect Reviews > Request History.

  2. Click the Schedule requests button on the top right.

  3. In the Schedule manual requests section, click the Schedule manual request button.

  4. Enter the following details:

    • Reviewer's name: the name of the customer you're contacting.

    • Reviewer's email: the customer's email address

    • Product: the product you'd like them to review

    • Order fulfillment date: The date when the order was fulfilled

  5. Click Schedule request.

If you need to schedule multiple review requests manually, check our guide on scheduling manual requests using a CSV file.
