Email guide: alerts and follow-ups
The two emails RepRocket sends for you, who gets them, and how to write a good follow-up.
4 min read
RepRocket sends two kinds of email for you. There are no email templates to design and no campaigns to schedule: the alert is written for you, and the follow-up is a message you write when you send it.
For the step-by-step settings, see Low-rating alerts and follow-up emails.
The sender
Every email comes from Rep Support, through the built-in mail service. The subject starts with the name of the place: the location's name, else the account's, else the funnel's. The product's name never appears in the sender or the subject, so the emails suit an agency's or a franchise's clients.
Low-rating alerts
Sent to: the addresses you set for each funnel in Recovery → Alerts. When none are set: the Admin owner, the people who work at that location, and the Admins (10 people at most).
Sent when: a customer leaves a rating under 4 stars and finishes the form, or within minutes if they leave part-way. If they finish after the first alert, an update follows.
Subject, for example: "Harbour Street Café: 2-star feedback from Sam", then "Harbour Street Café: Update on 2-star feedback".
Contains: the rating, what the customer wrote, how to reach them if they agreed to be contacted, and a link to open them in the recovery inbox.
Replying: a reply goes to the customer, if they agreed to be contacted.
The follow-up
Sent to: one customer you have resolved in Recovery, who left an email address and agreed to be contacted.
Written by: you. Press Send follow-up on the customer, write Your message (up to 1,500 characters), and send it. The funnel's review links are added after your message.
Subject, for example: "Harbour Street Café: A follow-up on your visit".
Replying: a reply goes to the person who sent it.
Limit: one follow-up per customer.
Writing a good follow-up
- Use their name, and say what you did about the problem.
- Keep it short: three or four sentences.
- Thank them for telling you.
- Do not ask for a good review or offer anything in exchange for one. The review links are already there; leave the choice to them.
Example:
Hi Sam, thank you for telling us about the wait on Saturday. We have added a second person at the counter at weekends, so it should not happen again. We hope to see you soon. Maria, Harbour Street Café
Making sure emails arrive
- Send yourself a test from Settings → Email. It goes to the address you sign in with.
- Ask your team to add the sender to their contacts, so alerts do not land in spam.
- If an alert could not be sent, the customer in Recovery shows "Alert email not sent", with the reason.
Emails about your account
Sign-up confirmation and password reset emails are sent separately by our sign-in service. See Password reset and account recovery.
