SpotOn Automated Guest Review Request Drafts

Every night after service, WebRun opens SpotOn loyalty and transaction data, finds guests who visited today with a high check average or a return visit, drafts a personalized review-request SMS for each via Twilio, logs the outreach in Google Sheets, and queues every message for a manager to approve before sending.

In short

How do I automatically request reviews from happy SpotOn guests after their visit?

WebRun reviews SpotOn loyalty and transaction data every night after service, selects high-value and return-visit guests, and checks a Google Sheets log to skip anyone contacted in the past 90 days. It then drafts a personalized review-request SMS per eligible guest in Twilio, held for manager approval so no message reaches a guest without your sign-off.

  • Review requests target the right guests at the right time, not every diner indiscriminately
  • 90-day suppression window prevents over-messaging and protects the guest relationship
  • Manager reviews every message before it is sent, keeping the tone on-brand

Questions, answered

Will it text guests automatically without anyone approving?

No. Every review-request SMS is queued in Twilio as a draft. A manager must review and approve each message before it is sent to any guest.

How does it avoid sending review requests to the same guest twice?

WebRun checks the outreach log in Google Sheets and skips any guest who received a review request in the past 90 days, so repeat contact is prevented automatically.

Which guests are considered eligible for a review request?

By default, guests with a check average above your configured threshold or guests making a return visit within 30 days are selected. You can adjust both criteria in your workflow settings.
