Review Auto-Reply

Reply Modes and Tones

What the four actions do, the four tones, and when to use each.

The four actions

  • Auto-reply โ€” AI writes and publishes the reply to Google automatically, after your delay. Best for positive reviews.
  • Draft & hold for approval โ€” AI writes the reply but holds it; you approve or edit it before anything is posted. Best for questions and mixed reviews.
  • Notify me only โ€” AI writes nothing; it just emails you so you can reply yourself. Best for negative reviews.
  • Off โ€” nothing happens for this review type.

The four tones

  • Friendly โ€” warm and personable. Great for positive reviews.
  • Professional โ€” polished and businesslike. A safe default for most replies.
  • Playful โ€” light and casual. Fits relaxed, informal brands.
  • Apologetic โ€” empathetic and sincere. For negative or disappointing feedback.
Note ยทThe reply is always written in the same language as the review โ€” a Hungarian review gets a Hungarian reply, a German review a German one.
Tip ยทOnly Auto-reply and Draft write a reply and use a credit, so the Tone and Delay fields appear only for those two actions.
