2. Customise your Trustpilot review email invitation
After you've set up the Trustpilot review integration, we create a review invitation campaign in your account called Trustpilot Review invitation. Edit this campaign to match your brand and ensure you're ready to start sending review invitations.
Invitation wording requirements
Trustpilot requires you to write your review invitations using neutral and unbiased language. You must not include any messages or incentives that attempt to influence customers to write non-genuine reviews.
To find and edit the Product review invitation:
Go to Automation > Triggered email.
Find the Trustpilot Review Invite campaign.
Select Edit to start editing your campaign.
In the campaign design view, you can see the Review invitation block – this displays the products that were purchased at the start of the review invitation waiting period you set in step 1.
The Review invitation block also includes a button that takes the invitee directly to Trustpilot where they can review the items purchased. This Leave a review button uses the link stored in the contact’sTP_REVIEW_LINKdata field, so you can remove the default Review invitation block and create your own if you’d rather.Learn more about editing the Review invitation block in the section Edit the Review invitation block.
Edit your campaign exactly how you want it.
