The example above used location - cities - as a branch type, but you can set up your branches for whatever you want to group your reviews by. Here are some examples:
Adding Branches using API
Navigate to Integrations
Click API
Note: This API Documentation is targeted at developers and can be used to create bespoke solutions.
Navigate to Company Review Collection
When queuing your invitations using the REVIEWS.io API, add the branch parameter to the body and add the relevant code for the branch type.
Example
{
"store": "your-business",
"apikey" :"YOUR_API_KEY",
"name": "John Smith",
"email": "john.smith@example.com",
"order_id": "1234",
"branch": "BRANCH_TYPE_HERE".
}
When customers begin to leave reviews, Branches will automatically be created and added to the review. You can find all of your automatically created branches within Manage Branches in your Reviews Dashboard.
