Personalize Recurring Review Request Emails in Sparkforge
Sparkforge Reputation Management lets you assign a different email template to each follow-up in a recurring review request, so customers don't see identical emails twice.
Recurring review requests work — but only if every follow-up doesn't read like the last one. Sparkforge Reputation Management lets you assign a different email template to each retry, so the second and third nudges feel fresh instead of nagging. Customize the templates to match your brand voice or pull from the built-in library.
What you can customize
- Per-retry templates — different message at each follow-up step.
- Template library — professionally designed starting points for common scenarios.
- Brand voice — edit copy, swap visuals, adjust tone to match the rest of your customer comms.
- Automation — recurring requests still fire on the schedule you set, just with varied content.
Set up custom templates for recurring requests
- Open Reputation Management > Email Review Requests.
- Configure the recurring schedule:
- Until clicked, repeat this every — set the cadence between attempts.
- Maximum retries — cap the number of follow-ups.
- Toggle on recurring review requests.
- Pick a template for each follow-up. Use a library template or build your own.
- Preview each email to confirm the formatting and personalization.
- Save. The next batch of recurring requests uses your new template assignments.
Tips for higher response rates
- Lead with the ask. The first email should be short and direct — one sentence of context, one button.
- Change the angle on retry. Second email reframes ("a quick favor," "30 seconds of your time"). Third email is the last call.
- Match the channel. If you also send SMS review requests, keep email and SMS messaging coordinated, not duplicated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I write fully custom templates or only use the library?
Both. Edit any library template or start from scratch. Templates support standard merge fields for the customer name, business name, and review link.
How many templates can I assign across the recurring sequence?
Each follow-up step in the recurring schedule can use its own template. Set the maximum retries, then assign a template per retry.
Can I preview the email before it goes live?
Yes. The Email Review Requests editor has a preview view so you can confirm formatting, merge fields, and brand consistency before activating.
Where do recurring review requests live in Sparkforge?
Reputation Management > Email Review Requests. Recurring scheduling, template assignment, and the template library all sit in that one section.
