Open the Send Review Request Action

  2. Select Request Reviews.

Result: The Bulk Review Request modal opens.


Configure the Review Request

In the Bulk Review Request window:

  1. Enter an Action Name (required).

  2. Choose a Review Request Option:

    • SMS Review Request

Drip Mode Behavior

When Send in Drip Mode is selected:

  3. Define the Repeat After interval (minutes, hours, or days).

  4. Select allowed Send Days.

  5. (Optional) Set a Time Window.

Important Notes:

  • The Repeat After setting does not restart the entire action.

  • It controls how often the next batch is processed.

  • Batches continue until all selected contacts receive the request.

  • Processing scales up to 500,000 actions per hour.


How Bulk Review Requests Are Processed

  • Requests are processed in the background.

  • Large contact lists may take time to complete.

  • Progress can be tracked on the Bulk Actions page.


Best Practices

  • Segment contacts using Smart Lists to avoid over-messaging.

  • Personalize templates with merge fields to improve response rates.

  • Avoid repeat requests to the same contact within 30–60 days.


Common Issues and Fixes

  • Request Reviews option not visible:
    Confirm you are logged in as an account admin.

  • Fewer requests sent than selected:
    Contacts without valid delivery channels may be skipped.

  • Requests not sent immediately:
    Check if scheduled or drip mode was enabled.


FAQ

How do I select all contacts for a bulk review request?

Select the checkbox in the table header, then click Select all contacts to include the full list.

Can I send both email and SMS review requests in one bulk action?

No. Each bulk action supports only one review request type.

What is the difference between “Send All at Once” and “Send in Drip Mode”?

Send All at Once processes immediately. Drip Mode sends requests in batches over time.

What does the “Repeat After” setting do?

It defines the delay between batches. It does not restart the full action.

What review request types are supported?

SMS Review, Email Review, and WhatsApp Review (based on account setup).

Can I send review requests to the same contact multiple times?

Yes, but it’s recommended to filter out contacts who recently received a request to avoid unsubscribes or spam complaints.
