We have some really powerful integrations with booking, WiFi and Order & Pay platforms that pull your guest details into your database. This could be booking seated date, WiFi interaction date or EPOS interaction date. This means that you can trigger emails to your customers after their visit to collect feedback. Take a look at our available integrations here.
The emails to collect feedback are all set up in a very similar way, head to “Date Triggers” and select “create email”.
Tip - always create your email in the regular email builder first, this support article shows you how!
Booking seated date trigger
Click on "load a previously saved email" and select your feedback email.
Select a send time. Your email will go to any matching customers each day at this time.
Select 1 day post (you can set this to a longer time period if you prefer).
Select Booking seated date from the dropdown menu.
Click "add audience criteria" and make sure you include the "last visited" option on the smart location filter
Tag your email as “Feedback journey” so that you can group all of your feedback emails together when you pull a report. Once you're happy with the setup of your email you can click "create" at the bottom of the page.
WiFi interaction trigger
Stay in Date triggers & create a new email. Go through the same process and load up your email from the “load a previously saved email” dropdown.

Select 1 day post (you can set this to a longer time period if you prefer).
Select WiFi interaction date from the dropdown menu.
Click "add audience criteria" and make sure you include the "last visited" option on the smart location filter
If you're sending multiple triggers based on interactions (such as WiFi & Bookings, you now need to suppress your email to ensure anyone with a booking and a WiFi interaction don’t get multiple emails.
Click “add simple search criteria”

Select “Narrow search by suppression”
Now you can exclude anyone who had a booking seated date in the last X days (this should match your booking trigger email criteria).

Click “add simple search criteria”
Select "Last visited" from the smart location filter
Select “Narrow search by suppression”
Firstly you can exclude anyone who had a booking seated date in the last X days (this should match your booking trigger email criteria).
4. Now you need to exclude anyone who had a WiFi interaction in the same time period.
Once you've selected your criteria click “Create date trigger flyer” at the bottom of the page, add in your tag (you should use the same tag as you’ve used for your booking & WiFi email) and click create email.
Optional
You could also choose to exclude customers who have previously left feedback, this could be used if you’re collecting feedback in venue or if you just want to ensure customers who have reviewed you recently aren’t asked again.
When you’re in the simple search page just add into the suppression selection anyone who has left feedback in the last X days. You can also choose the type of feedback that has been left in this section.
For example, you could exclude anyone who has left negative feedback in the last 30 days.
