Combining Auto Replies with manual replies

Want the best of both worlds for app review replies? You can combine Auto Replies with one of our many other app review reply methods.

For example, many of our customers use Auto Replies for positive 4 & 5 star reviews and send all other reviews to an their CRM integration for customer service team to manually reply. This can be achieved by using specific Auto Replies rules and filters:

Auto Replies rules

To have Auto Replies made for all 4 & 5 star app reviews, in all languages and using AI Replies you can set the following rules:

Reply via CRM filters

You can then use the filters to have only the remaining 3, 4 & 5 star reviews sent to the CRM integration for your customer service team to review and reply:

These rules will apply to all new app reviews as they come through and of course you can change the rules or filters at any time.
