Introduction

Following up after a purchase is a great way to proactively grow your reviews and connect with your happy customers. Rivo has 2 customizable email prompts that can be sent automatically after the order is fulfilled.

Review requests are available in all plans

New orders will appear here and once they are marked fulfilled, they are eligible to receive automated review request emails. Each order will be assigned a status:

  • Awaiting Fulfilment - Paid but unfulfilled orders. These orders are not yet eligible to receive a review request

  • In Progress - Fulfilled orders that are currently eligible to receive a review request email

  • Completed - Fulfilled orders that have passed through the requests queue and have successfully received their review request emails

  • Cancelled - Cancelled orders. These customers will not receive a review request.

Common Questions

Can a customer review each product separately in their order?

Not at this time. Currently, when you send a review request, the customer can only review once for the first line item in the order.
