REVIEWS.io + CaptiFi

Pull your REVIEWS.io reviews into the Review Inbox with AI-drafted replies, and send happy WiFi guests to your REVIEWS.io collection link. Uses your existing subscription. Hardware included, 30-day trial.

Overview

What does the REVIEWS.io integration do?

The REVIEWS.io integration pulls your latest REVIEWS.io reviews into the Review Inbox using the store key and API key from your existing REVIEWS.io subscription, with an AI-drafted reply for each. Paste a REVIEWS.io collection link as well and happy WiFi guests can be sent there after they rate their visit. For venues that already collect reviews through REVIEWS.io and want walk-in guests in the same place. Growth plan and above.

REVIEWS.io collects company and product reviews for the businesses that subscribe to it. The REVIEWS.io integration brings those reviews into the CaptiFi Review Inbox so they sit alongside Google, Tripadvisor and the rest, each with the reviewer's name, rating, title and text, and an AI-drafted reply ready to copy and post from your REVIEWS.io dashboard. The connection uses your own REVIEWS.io store key and API key, entered once on the REVIEWS.io card; the API key is stored encrypted and write-only.

REVIEWS.io can also be a destination for the review requests CaptiFi already sends. Paste a REVIEWS.io collection link into the card and happy WiFi guests can be sent there after they rate their visit, on its own or from the branded choice page that lists every platform you have set up. Lower ratings open the private feedback form, and the rating and any comment reach you by email. Leave the link blank and the integration is Review Inbox only.

Nothing changes in your REVIEWS.io account: invitations, widgets and the reviews themselves stay where they are, and CaptiFi reads them through the subscription you already hold. Press Test connection before you save, and the first sync runs the moment the card is saved.

In the real world

How venues use REVIEWS.io with CaptiFi

Retail

A shop that already invites online customers to review it on REVIEWS.io adds its walk-in WiFi guests to the same profile, and reads both sets of reviews from one inbox.

Restaurant group

A group with REVIEWS.io widgets on its booking site pulls every site's reviews into CaptiFi, where each general manager replies to their own venue's reviews with an AI draft to start from.

Hotel

A hotel lets guests choose between Google and REVIEWS.io on the choice page, so the reviews that feed its website widget keep growing while Google keeps growing too.
