Now you can send unlimited SMS review requests with your own phone numbers using httpSMS. More personalized, more affordable, & no limits.

Why is it required?

Professional SMS charges/credits are expensive, and not all businesses can afford them. So we released a new feature where customers can add their own SMS providers.

It is now live and available to all Advance & Premium plan users.

What is httpSMS and how will it help?

httpsms (httpSMS) is an open-source project. It allows you to use your Android phone as an SMS gateway to send and receive SMS messages programmatically via an HTTP API.

Repuva + httpSMS = Your key to success 🔥

Using httpSMS with Repuva, you can send unlimited SMS review requests to your customers and grow your reviews like never before.

How to set up?

• Go to Settings > SMS
• Add httpSMS as your provider

• Enter API keys & phone number to configure your gateway.

It's Done!

Tagging reviews has now been updated to make it much easier to search, select, and update tags per review. Hopefully, this will make the process much easier and less rigid for all the customers.

Today, we launched one of the most powerful & premium AI features: AI Review Assistant. This feature allows you to generate reviews using AI based on a step-by-step question/answer flow.

This data is then used to generate an authentic, natural-sounding review that the customer can then copy and paste onto any review site.

The platform does all the heavy lifting in terms of making sure reviews are unique, natural etc.

This feature comes with the ability to control tone, provide business context, generate questions/suggestions, as well as include SEO keywords.

The feature is very powerful when set up correctly.

How to use AI Review Assistant?

The AI Review Assistant feature will start to appear within the feedback form designer "Get More Reviews > Feedback Form".

1. Turn ON the AI Review Assistant
2. Tell AI about your business
3. Set questions for your customers to know about their experience.
4. Set SEO keywords that AI naturally infuses within the reviews.
5. That's it! Your AI assistant is ready to help your customers get a prewritten personalized review.

The AI review assistance screen is visible after the customer clicks on the positive rating on the first screen. You can experience this premium feature in this demo form: https://app.repuva.com/review/premium-form

Cheers!

Now, SMS invites are available for all Advanced and Premium plan users. By default, all plans have 0 SMS credits because not all industries require the SMS channel.

Businesses that feel the need to implement SMS review requests into their campaigns can purchase SMS credits on top of their subscription.

What's new?

• Now you can seamlessly purchase SMS credits from your dashboard by navigating to "Settings > Buy Credits"
• These credits have lifetime validity; you only pay for what you use
• No impact on subscription amount, business that doesn't require the SMS channel can still enjoy the benefit of low-cost subscription

Like Google you can now also enable deep linking for Facebook and when users click to review your business on mobile the platform will automatically open the mobile app for Facebook on their phone (if available).

To enable deep linking go inside the feedback form designer and then go to Content & Flow → Scroll down to Advanced Settings and make sure Deep Link is switched on.

To test make sure your device has Facebook installed (Android and iOS supported) and take it for a spin!

If for some reason you get an error please reconnect your Facebook connection this should fix it in most instances.
