Auto-send review requests when Xola tours complete
Reviewflowz triggers review requests automatically when tours are marked complete in your Xola dashboard. No manual work needed after setup. Choose email ($5 per 1,000), SMS ($5 per 100), or WhatsApp with 98% open rates versus 20% for email. Your guests receive requests within minutes of tour completion, while the experience is fresh in their minds. The integration reads your Xola booking data to send personalized requests with tour details, dates, and locations. Set multiple triggers for different tour types or locations, then watch reviews flow in consistently without staff remembering to ask.
Flag your best customers from Google and TripAdvisor reviews
When travelers leave 5-star reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, or GetYourGuide, that rating data syncs directly to their Xola booking record. Your tour guides see exactly which past customers are raving fans before their next booking. This creates powerful opportunities most operators miss completely. Reach out to these proven promoters for video testimonials, referral partnerships, or repeat bookings for friends and family. The data flows automatically, so you're building a database of your happiest customers without any manual tracking or spreadsheet management.
Track reviews by tour guide without guest name-drops
Most operators ask guests to mention guide names in reviews, but Google flags these as potentially fake and guests often forget or misspell names. Reviewflowz solves this through Xola integration data. When reviews arrive, they're automatically attributed to the correct guide who led that specific tour based on your booking records. No guest name-dropping required, so reviews read naturally and avoid Google's removal algorithms. You still get detailed performance leaderboards showing which guides earn the most 5-star reviews, perfect for coaching conversations and bonus structures.
How serious are you about your reviews?
Get up and running in minutes • Upgrade when you're ready
Review conversion rate matters more than total review count because it reveals efficiency. An operator with 50 reviews from 500 tours (10% conversion) beats a competitor with 200 reviews from 5,000 tours (4% conversion). Since Reviewflowz connects to Xola's booking data, it automatically calculates your true conversion rate using completed tours as the denominator. The average across Reviewflowz customers is 7.5%, giving you a benchmark to optimize against. Track performance by guide, tour type, or time period to identify what drives the highest review rates.
AI auto-replies to reviews across all tour booking platforms
Responding to reviews boosts Google rankings and builds trust with future bookers, but manually replying across TripAdvisor, Viator, GetYourGuide, and Google is time-consuming. Reviewflowz AI generates on-brand responses across 200+ platforms in your company voice. The system learns from your existing replies and tour-specific details from Xola like locations, activities, and guide names. You can approve responses manually or let them publish automatically. Every review gets a thoughtful reply within hours, not days, showing potential customers you care about guest feedback.
