Transactional data

The REVIEWS.io integration pushes "REVIEWSio-Company-Review" and "REVIEWSio-Product-Review" transactional data objects into your Dotdigital account as reviews are submitted.

These objects contain the review rating, comments, date created, order reference, photos, and videos.

"REVIEWSio-Product-Review" data also includes the name and SKU of the product reviewed.

Once this Insight data is stored against your contacts, you can use it to write queries to segment your contacts against this data and create new address books. This will enable you to send targeted, personalised campaigns based upon your contacts’ review history.

REVIEWSio_Company_Review includes the following data:

  • Rating - 1 to 5-star rating

  • Comments - Review text

  • Order_reference - Customers order reference

  • Date_created - Date and time of review submission

  • Photos - An array of images submitted with the review (where applicable)

  • Videos - An array of videos submitted with the review (where applicable)

REVIEWSio_Product_Review includes the following data:

  • Rating - 1 to 5-star rating

  • Comments - Review

  • Text order_reference - Customers order reference

  • Date_created - Date and time of review submission

  • Product_name - The name of the reviewed product

  • SKU - SKU/identifier of the reviewed product

  • Photos - An array of images submitted with the review (where applicable)

  • Videos - An array of videos submitted with the review (where applicable)

Both are added on an account and contact level.

This allows you to target your customers based on whether or not they’ve left a review, or are happy with their purchase and your company's customer service.
