Review Response Time Tracker
A done-for-you automotive automation built for the Reputation Specialist, connecting Slack so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
The automation tracks how quickly the dealership responds to online reviews and alerts management whenever response time falls behind the target, protecting the online reputation instead of reviews sitting unanswered for days simply because nobody was specifically watching the clock on response time.
A fast, thoughtful response to both positive and negative reviews is one of the strongest signals shoppers use to judge a dealership before ever walking in, and consistent response time, not just eventual response, is what separates dealerships that manage their reputation actively from ones that only react.

- Slack (escalation alerts)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done by hand, this depends entirely on a reputation specialist remembering to check in, update records, and follow up, with no safety net if something slips. It's the kind of work that quietly eats hours every week.
With this automation
- Review requests timed to the moment the job is done
- Instant manager alerts when a customer reports a problem
- Alerts when a new review needs a response
- Survey and NPS results that reach the people who can act
