Honest note: ReviewTrackers (now part of InMoment) has no public help center. These steps use the feature names from its own case studies and Zapier's listing. Menu names may differ slightly; your onboarding rep can point to each one.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Connect Google Business Profile and Facebook. Google was about 80% of evo's reviews.
Step 2. Set up alerts per person. Choose immediate alerts for low ratings, plus daily or weekly logs for managers. Filter by rating, source and location.
Step 3. Build Smart Response templates. Make one for positive reviews, one for "manager will follow up" and one for star-only negatives.
Step 4. Reply in-app to Google and Facebook reviews, and tag each review Responded, In Progress or Do Not Respond.
Step 5. Optional: send each new review to Slack with Zapier's New Review trigger.
