Who This Is For / When to Use
This article is for users who want to automate workflows based on incoming Google or Facebook reviews, such as routing 5-star reviews, handling spam, or sending review data to external systems.

Important Behavior Notes

  • The Review Received trigger is contactless.

  • Reviews are not linked to any contact by default.

  • Actions relying on contact data require a Find Contact step later in the workflow.

Step 1: Create or Open a Workflow

  1. Navigate to Automations > Workflows.

  2. Click Create New Workflow, or open an existing workflow.

  3. In the workflow builder, click Add New Trigger.

Step 2: Select the Review Received Trigger

  1. From the trigger list, select Review Received.

  2. Enter a trigger name (for example, Review Received).

Step 3: Configure Review Filters

Use filters to control which reviews enroll into the workflow.

Available Filters

  • Is Review Spam
    Choose Spam or Not Spam to include or exclude spam reviews.

  • Review Rating
    Filter by star rating (1–5). Example: trigger only when rating equals 5.

  • Review Source
    Select Google or Facebook to segment workflows by platform.

Step 4: Add Condition Logic

Use Condition actions to branch workflows based on review attributes.

Common examples:

  • 5-star and not spam

  • Not 5-star and not spam

  • Spam reviews

Each branch can run different actions.

Step 5: Send Review Data Using a Webhook (Optional)

Use a Custom Webhook action to send review details to external systems.

You can pass dynamic review fields such as:

  • Reviewer name

  • Review rating

  • Review source

Step 6: Configure the Custom Webhook Action

  1. Set the method (POST is most common).

  2. Enter the destination URL.

  3. Choose application/json as the content type.

  4. Use custom values to map review fields in the request body.

Step 7: Save and Test the Workflow

  1. Click Save.

  2. Use Test Workflow to simulate a review.

  3. Confirm the correct branch and actions are executed.

Common Issues and Fixes

  • Workflow does not trigger
    Ensure the review matches the selected filters.

  • Actions fail due to missing contact data
    Add a Find Contact step before contact-based actions.

  • Webhook receives no data
    Confirm custom values are correctly mapped in the request body.
