Reviews

Collect customer feedback, moderate reviews, reply to them, and display ratings on your public booking pages. Reviews help build trust and attract new customers.

Where to find it

• Sidebar → Reviews (visible when the Reviews module is enabled).
• Settings → Reviews for configuration.

Enabling reviews

Reviews are a toggleable module:

1. Go to Settings → Modules.
2. Toggle Reviews on.
3. The "Reviews" item appears in the sidebar.

You can also enable/disable reviews from Settings → Reviews → Enable Reviews.

Review list page

The reviews index shows:

• Stats bar — Total reviews, pending count, approved count, average rating.
• Status tabs — All, Pending, Approved, Rejected.
• Filters — Search by customer name, email, or comment text. Filter by event type or staff member.
• Each review shows — Customer name, email, rating (stars), comment text, date submitted, status, and staff member (if applicable).

How customers leave reviews

1. Review request email (token-based)

After a booking is completed, SchedulingKit can automatically send a review request email:

1. The system creates a review record with a unique token.
2. An email is sent with a link: /review/{token}.
3. The customer clicks the link and sees the review form.
4. They select a star rating (1–5), enter their name (unless anonymous), and write a comment (optional or required based on your settings).
5. They submit. Depending on your auto-approve settings, the review is either immediately approved or set to pending.
6. A thank-you page shows whether the review is live or pending moderation.

Configure the review request timing in Settings → Reviews (see Settings below).

2. Customer portal

Customers logged into the Customer Portal can leave reviews:

1. Go to a completed booking in Bookings → [booking detail].
2. If the booking is eligible (past event, no existing review), a "Write a Review" button appears.
3. Submit a rating and optional comment inline.
4. The review is created and linked to the booking.

Customers can also view all their reviews at Portal → Reviews.

3. Workflows

You can create a workflow with:

• Trigger: "After event ends" with a delay (e.g. 24 hours).
• Action: Send an email with the review link.

This gives you full control over the timing and content of the review request.

Review details

Each review stores:

• Customer info — Name, email, linked customer record.
• Booking info — Event, event type, staff member, location.
• Rating — 1 to 5 stars.
• Comment — Optional text review.
• Reply — Your response (with timestamp).
• Verified — Whether the review is from a verified booking.
• Submitted at — When the customer submitted the review.

Example workflow

A typical review collection setup:

1. Settings → Reviews: Enable reviews, turn on "Send review request", set delay to 24 hours, enable auto-approve for 4+ star reviews.
2. Customers complete bookings.
3. 24 hours later, they receive a review request email.
4. They click the link, rate 5 stars, write "Great experience!"
5. The review is auto-approved and appears on your booking page immediately.
6. A 2-star review comes in — it goes to "Pending" for manual review.
7. You decide to approve it and add a reply addressing their feedback.

Permissions

Review management is available to team members with appropriate role permissions. The owner and admin roles have full access by default.
