YotpoUpdated a month ago

Yotpo is a user-generated content tool for merchants including customer reviews, visual marketing, loyalty, and referrals.

This feature is only available if you're on the Yotpo Premium plan.


With the integration, you can:

  • See the customer's Yotpo status
  • Review ratings and sentiments
  • Reply to reviews
  • See the last 5 reviews for your store's products in the widget
You can use Gorgias to reply to Yotpo questions too, however, they won't open tickets in Gorgias just like reviews will - you should forward Yotpo questions to an email address that you integrated with Gorgias to reply to them using the helpdesk. 


Here's the process behind the review reply feature:

1. A customer writes a verified product review or asks a question.

2. This escalated review or Q&A receives a unique reply-to email address (for example reply‑[email protected]).

3. The escalated review or Q&A is forwarded to the helpdesk address that you defined.

4. By replying to the emails and adding text to the appropriate text sections, you can perform actions without leaving the helpdesk.

5. For example, you can publish a review, comment on a review, or answer a question.

6. When you comment or answer, the reviewer receives an email with your reply.



Steps

1. Go to Settings → App Store → All Apps

2. Find Yotpo and click on it.

3. In the top right of the page, click the Add Yotpo Account button and you'll be redirected to Yotpo.

4. If you aren't logged in, you're required to log in before the installation can continue. 

5. After you've logged in, click the Authorize button to authorize Gorgias to pull Yotpo data into the helpdesk.

You'll be redirected back to Gorgias where you should see the following screen - if you don't, please retry steps 1-4.

Gorgias will provide your Yotpo account with a long default name which you can change by changing the text in the text input under the Integration name and selecting Update integration.


Yotpo Tickets

First, enable Yotpo tickets by checking the Enable Yotpo tickets checkbox on the integration settings page, then click the green Update integration button, as shown above.

Once Yotpo tickets are activated, every time you receive a review on one of your products, a new ticket will be created with the review details (score, product, etc). 

You can either reply to the review publicly or privately, and you can only reply to a Yotpo review from Gorgias if there isn't a reply already posted via Yotpo directly.

If a review comment is created on the Yotpo dashboard or via Yotpo emails, it won't be pulled in Yotpo tickets - it'll only be pulled into Gorgias when you try to add a new comment on the review. The newly added comment will be marked as an error because Yotpo supports only one comment per review.


Yotpo emails

You can use Yotpo emails to reply to Yotpo reviews or Yotpo Q&A from Gorgias but, if you've already activated Yotpo tickets, you'd need to deactivate Yotpo emails to avoid duplicated Yotpo review tickets being created in Gorgias.

1. Click on Manage Content.

2. Click Help Desk.

3. Toggle the Activate Help Desk integration switch on.

4. Enter the main support email address in the Help Desk Email field.

5. Click Send Test to send a test email to the address you entered in the previous field.

6. Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the screen.

Just make sure to respond below the right line to respond publicly or privately. 

We recommend creating a Macro that contains the following default text so you can use it as a frame to respond to: 

  • Comments
1==========Write below this line to comment in private==========

You can't unpublish Yotpo reviews using the Yotpo Tickets integration - you can unpublish reviews using the Yotpo Email integration instead.
