Emplifi Ratings & Reviews Emails
Email is a great way to communicate with your customers. Emplifi Ratings & Reviews has many features that manage these kinds of communications, sending your customers the right kind of email at the right time.
Let’s get started!
Which emails we send
Emplifi Ratings & Reviews sends many kinds of emails to your shoppers and to your internal teams. To learn more, see Email Types.
Landing page
When a shopper clicks on a link in an email or taps a star rating, they are brought to your branded landing page to complete the interaction.
Ratings & Reviews Submission forms are now embedded in your branded landing page during implementation. If your site was set up before February 2021, contact Emplifi Support to allow embedded submission forms.
Not all email links bring shoppers to a landing page. To see which ones do, view the list of Email Types.
Choosing your email service provider (ESP)
Deciding on your ESP—the company that bulk-sends your email—has a big impact on the process of configuring your email. You can use your own ESP, or allow Emplifi to send the email (we use SendGrid to send customer emails).
To learn more, see Third-Party ESP Integrations.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Emplifi, ask your Solutions Manager to make sure your Emplifi Auth Key is a 32-character value.
Customizing email headers
When you send an email, you might want the "from" address to appear from your business, even if Emplifi sends it. This is called white labeling. To learn more, see Sending Emplifi Emails Under Your Domain.
It is also possible to send all emails yourself. You can link to our Emplifi Ratings & Reviews widgets using a JSON Web Token (JWT) or collect the data yourself and pass it to us via the API. To explore whether one of these options is right for you, speak with your Emplifi Customer Success Manager.
Customizing email contents
Emplifi Ratings & Reviews sends emails to your shoppers in a variety of situations, and we also offer ways to customize your message. For example, you’ll probably want your company logo at the top of all shopper-facing email communications. Read more about customizing Email Templates.
When a shopper clicks on a link in an email or taps a star rating, the shopper is brought to a lightweight landing page with your site’s branding. Read more about the Landing Page.
Inbox Submission
