Connect Reviewflowz to Shopmonkey and automatically request reviews when jobs complete, invoices are paid, or work orders close. Setup takes under 15 minutes.
Automatic review requests from Shopmonkey job completion
When you mark a job complete in Shopmonkey, Reviewflowz automatically sends a review request to your customer via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. The system uses customer data already stored in Shopmonkey, so no manual data entry or follow-up tasks are needed. You configure the trigger once (job completion, invoice payment, or work order closure) and choose your preferred communication method. From that point forward, every customer interaction flows automatically into a review request. Across all Reviewflowz customers, this automated approach generates an average 7.5% review conversion rate, turning your existing Shopmonkey workflow into a consistent review collection system.
Identify your best customers for referrals and testimonials
Reviews automatically sync back into each customer's Shopmonkey record, creating a clear view of who your biggest advocates are. When someone leaves a 5-star review praising your work, that information appears directly in their customer profile. You can then take targeted action: ask happy customers for referrals, invite them to provide case studies, or prioritize them for special offers. This connection works in reverse too. If someone leaves negative feedback, their Shopmonkey record gets flagged so your team can reach out proactively to resolve issues and potentially recover the relationship. The result is actionable customer intelligence that helps you grow revenue from existing relationships.
Track which technicians generate the most positive reviews
Reviews automatically attribute to the right technician without customers needing to mention names. Since Reviewflowz connects to Shopmonkey's job assignments, it knows which team member handled each work order. When reviews come in, they're automatically tagged to the correct person in your reports. This approach avoids the common problem where asking customers to mention staff names leads to misspelled reviews or flags from Google's spam detection. Your technicians get proper credit for great work, you get clean performance data for evaluations and bonuses, and customers write natural reviews that are less likely to be removed by review platforms.

Calculate review conversion rate per completed job
Most businesses only count total reviews, but the metric that actually matters is reviews per completed job. A shop with 200 reviews sounds impressive until you realize they completed 10,000 jobs (2% conversion rate). Your competitor has 80 reviews from 1,000 jobs (8% rate) and wins more business. Because Reviewflowz integrates with Shopmonkey's job data, you see the real numbers: 150 jobs completed this month, 18 reviews collected, 12% conversion rate. You can track performance by technician, service type, or time period. This data helps you identify what drives reviews and optimize your approach to consistently outperform competitors who only track vanity metrics.
AI auto-replies to reviews across Google, Yelp and 200+ platforms
AI generates professional responses to every review using your business's voice and tone across all review platforms. You can approve responses manually or set them to publish automatically after you train the system. The AI understands automotive service context, so responses mention relevant details like quality workmanship, customer service, or timely repairs without sounding generic. Responding to reviews consistently improves your Google local ranking and shows potential customers that you care about feedback. Instead of spending 30 minutes per day writing individual responses, you spend 5 minutes reviewing AI-generated drafts that maintain your brand voice while ensuring no review goes unanswered.
