Untappd + CaptiFi

Pull Untappd check-ins with comments and beer ratings at your venue into the Review Inbox, and send happy WiFi guests to your Untappd page. Needs Untappd for Business Premium. Hardware included, 30-day trial.

Overview

What does the Untappd integration do?

The Untappd integration pulls the check-ins at your venue that carry a comment or a beer rating into the Review Inbox, with the beer and brewery named and an AI-drafted reply for each, using your Untappd for Business read-only token and location ID. Paste your Untappd page link as well and happy WiFi guests can be sent there. Untappd opens its API to Untappd for Business Premium accounts. For taprooms, craft beer bars and pubs. Growth plan and above.

Untappd is where beer drinkers log what they are drinking and where, and a check-in at your venue often carries a comment about the visit and a rating of the beer. The Untappd integration pulls those check-ins into the Review Inbox so they sit alongside your Google, Tripadvisor and other reviews, each with the guest's Untappd name, the beer and brewery, the beer rating where one was given, the comment and a link to the check-in on Untappd. CaptiFi drafts a suggested reply for each with AI, ready to copy.

The connection uses your Untappd for Business account: your Untappd for Business email, a read-only API token and your location ID, entered once on the Untappd card. Untappd opens its API to Untappd for Business Premium accounts, so the venue needs that plan. The token is stored encrypted and write-only, and Test connection confirms CaptiFi can see your location before you save. A check-in rating is the guest's rating of the beer, so read it as a beer score with the venue comment alongside.

Untappd can also be a destination for the review requests CaptiFi already sends. Paste your venue's Untappd page link 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.

What you get

Why connect Untappd to CaptiFi

Check-ins in the same inbox as your reviews

Comments and beer ratings left at your venue on Untappd appear in the Review Inbox with everything else, so a taproom no longer has to open a separate app to see what drinkers said.

The beer and brewery named on every entry

Each check-in shows which beer was rated and who brewed it, so a comment about a hazy IPA and a comment about the service are easy to tell apart.

Replies drafted by AI

CaptiFi drafts a suggested reply for each check-in, ready to copy, with a link straight to the check-in on Untappd.

Untappd as a review destination

Paste your Untappd page link and happy WiFi guests can be sent there, on its own or from the branded choice page.

In the real world

How venues use Untappd with CaptiFi

Brewery taproom

A taproom reads every check-in from the weekend in the Review Inbox on Monday morning, spots the beer that scored lowest, and has the brewer look at that batch before the next pour.

Craft beer bar

A bar that rotates twenty lines sees which guest beers drinkers rated highest and reorders those first, while the comments tell the manager how the Friday night service felt.

Pub

A pub lets WiFi guests choose between Google and Untappd on the choice page, so beer enthusiasts post where their friends will see it and everyone else posts on Google.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What do I need from Untappd?
An Untappd for Business account on the Premium plan, which is the plan Untappd opens its API to, plus three things from it: the account email, a read-only API token and your location ID. CaptiFi stores the token encrypted and write-only.
What appears in the Review Inbox?
Check-ins at your venue that carry a comment, a beer rating or both. A check-in with neither is skipped. Each entry shows the guest's Untappd name, the beer and brewery, the beer rating where one was given, the comment, the date and a link to the check-in on Untappd.
Is the rating a rating of my venue?
No. An Untappd rating is the guest's rating of the beer they checked in, so a low score on a guest ale says something about that beer, and the comment is where the visit itself gets described.
Can I reply from CaptiFi?
CaptiFi drafts the reply and links to the check-in on Untappd. Any comment you post there comes from your own Untappd account; CaptiFi never posts on your behalf.
Can guests be sent to Untappd after they rate their visit?
Yes, if you paste your Untappd page link into the card. Choose Untappd only, or let the guest choose from the branded page that lists every platform you have set up. Leave the link blank and the integration is Review Inbox only.
Which plan do I need?
Untappd is available on the Growth plan and above, the same as the Google, Tripadvisor and Yelp review prompts. Untappd for Business Premium is bought from Untappd and is separate from your CaptiFi plan.
