Use Messaging to Request Reviews

Use automated email and SMS to consistently request reviews from customers at the right time.

Review requests are sent through messaging. Kyrios uses workflows to send those messages automatically so you don’t have to ask every time.


Why this matters

Most businesses rely on moments like:

  • “Hey, can you leave us a review?”

  • “I’ll send that later”

And then… nothing happens.

The timing is missed. The request feels awkward. The opportunity disappears.

Messaging fixes that. It sends the request at the right time, without you needing to think about it.


How review requests are sent

Review requests are part of your workflows. When a trigger happens, the system sends a message.

Examples:

  • A job is completed

  • An invoice is marked paid

  • A deal is marked won

That triggers:

  • an email

  • an SMS (if set up)

The customer receives a review request automatically.


What messages look like

Review requests are typically:

  • short

  • direct

  • easy to act on

They include:

  • a message

  • a link to leave a review

The goal is simple: make it easy for the customer to respond


Where this is already set up

If you activated your Review System:

  • messaging is already built into the workflows

  • timing is already handled

  • messages are already written

You are not creating this from scratch. You are using what is already in place.


Where messages are sent

Messages are sent through:

  • Email

  • SMS

Both are tracked inside Kyrios.

You can see all activity in:

  • Conversations

  • Contact records


Important note about SMS

Email works immediately. SMS requires setup.

To send SMS:

Until that is complete:

  • SMS messages will not send

  • Email will still work

This is expected.


Timing matters

Review requests work best when they are sent:

  • right after a completed service

  • right after a positive interaction

That’s why workflows trigger them automatically. You don’t have to guess the timing.


What happens next

Once messaging is active:

  • Customers receive review requests consistently

  • More customers leave feedback

  • Your online reputation grows over time

This becomes part of your normal process. Not something extra.


Where to look

To monitor review messaging:

  • check Conversations

  • open a Contact record

  • review message history

You can also check:

  • workflow execution logs

  • delivery status

Keep this tight and relevant:


What to ignore for now

You do not need:

  • complex messaging campaigns

  • advanced templates

  • A/B testing

  • AI-generated responses

Right now, you just need consistent review requests being sent.


Important note

You don’t need to manually ask every customer for a review.

That’s the point. Set it up once. Let the system handle the ask.

Think about how many reviews you could have had if every happy customer was asked. Now imagine that happening automatically.

That’s what this does.

So you go from: “I need to ask for reviews”

to: “Reviews are being requested automatically”

That’s how reputation starts compounding.
