With TrueReview, you can enable automatic review replies so that new reviews posted on your Google or TrueReview profiles receive a timely, automated response. Replies can be generated either using AI-driven responses or pre-written templates you manage and customize.
Two Ways to Automatically Reply to Reviews:
AI-Generated Review Responses
TrueReview analyzes the customer’s name, star rating, and review text to generate a unique, personalized reply. Responses are created based on your selected AI reply settings, including the tone/style and the language of the original review.
Pre-Written Reply Templates
You can use TrueReview’s library of pre-written templates or create your own. When enabled, TrueReview will automatically select and send a template based on the review’s sentiment, randomly cycling through templates marked with positive or negative emojis to ensure replies feel varied and genuine.
Enabling Automatic Review Replies
To enable automatic review replies, navigate to your Business Settings page:
• Go to Account Settings
• Click EDIT next to the business you want to enable automatic replies for
• Scroll down to the Review Reply Settings section
From there, you can customize how your automatic replies work:
• Select which reviews to reply to — choose to respond to 4–5 star reviews, 1–3 star reviews, or both.
• Set the reply timing — decide how long to wait after a new review is posted before sending an automatic response (e.g., right away, after 1 hour, etc.).
Note: If you manually reply before the automated reply is sent, the scheduled auto-reply for that review will be canceled.
Note: Google typically notifies us of new reviews within 10 minutes. If your review reply delay is set to “Right away,” we’ll respond within 10–20 minutes of the review being posted.
• Choose your reply method — select either AI-generated responses or pre-written templates.
• Manage responses for different languages — set how TrueReview should handle reviews posted in a language other than English.
• Set your AI reply tone — if using AI-generated replies, you can choose the tone: Professional, Friendly, Grateful, or Direct & Concise, giving you control over how your brand communicates.
With auto-reply enabled, new reviews will automatically receive a response!
Automated review replies are available in the latest Small Business and Premium plans.
