Configure messages templates

    The Configure Messages feature lets you customize the message and email templates used throughout the review collection process. You can tailor subject lines, body copy, and signatures for standard templates, or use Custom Templates for full HTML control, to match your brand identity across every consumer touchpoint, including:

    • Review requests (email and SMS) for ratings and reviews.
    • Content status notifications, such as Review Verification, Review Approved, and Review Rejected.
    • Requests asking consumers to review your company (Seller Ratings) or answer product questions from other shoppers (Ask a Product Owner).  

    The table below outlines the available message types and their specific functions.
