Automated Lavu POS Review Request Drafts

Every morning, WebRun reads yesterday's closed checks in Lavu with guest contact details, drafts a short, friendly review request SMS via Twilio for each eligible guest, and posts the drafts to Slack for the manager to review and approve before any message is sent.

In short

How do I automatically draft review request texts for Lavu POS guests?

Every morning, WebRun reads yesterday's closed Lavu checks, finds guests with contact details who have not been asked for a review in the past 90 days, and drafts a short, personalized SMS for each. The drafts go to Slack for manager approval, and only approved messages are sent via Twilio, so every review request is reviewed by a human before it reaches a guest.

  • Review requests drafted for every eligible guest without manual list building
  • No guest contacted without manager review, protecting brand reputation
  • Frequent visitors excluded automatically to prevent review request fatigue

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send review request texts to guests without my approval?

No. Every review request message is drafted and posted to Slack for the manager to review and approve. No SMS is sent to any guest until a human approves it.

How often will a returning guest receive a review request?

Each guest is excluded for 90 days after receiving a review request, so returning regulars are not asked too frequently regardless of how often they visit.

Which review platform does the link point to?

You set the review link (Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or any other URL) during setup. WebRun uses that link in every draft message.

Put this on autopilot.
