Automated Bakery Review Request Emails

Every morning, WebRun opens BakeSmart and identifies orders collected two to three days ago. For each completed pickup, it drafts a warm review request email with a direct link to your Google or Facebook review page, logs the outreach in your Google Sheet, and queues the message in Gmail for your approval before sending.

In short

How do I automatically ask customers to leave a review after collecting their cake?

Every morning, WebRun opens BakeSmart and identifies orders collected two or three days ago. For each recent pickup, it drafts a warm review request email with a direct link to your review page and logs the outreach in Google Sheets to prevent duplicates. Every draft waits in Gmail for your approval before it reaches the customer.

  • Review requests sent while the order experience is still fresh, 2 to 3 days after pickup
  • No duplicate requests thanks to a 90-day outreach window tracked in Google Sheets
  • Every message reviewed by you before it reaches the customer

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send review requests without my approval?

No. Every review request is left as a draft in Gmail for your review. Nothing is sent to any customer until you approve it.

Will it send duplicate requests to the same customer?

No. WebRun checks the outreach log in Google Sheets and skips any customer who received a review request within the last 90 days.

Which review platform does the link go to?

You set the review link once when you set up the workflow. WebRun inserts the same link into every draft, so all requests point to your chosen platform, whether Google, Facebook, or another site.

Put this on autopilot.
