Watch the short video below to learn more about sending review requests:

Important note for Swell users: If your practice utilizes Swell to send and collect reviews, please click here to learn how to start sending reviews in Engagement using our Swell integration.


Add or Modify Practice Review Sites

We populate your review sites when your Engagement module is initially set up. To add a new review site link or modify an existing link, you'll need to contact us for assistance.

Click here to submit a ticket to add/modify a review site link!

You can access your practice review website listings in your Engagement TouchPoints™ dashboard. From the left side menu, click on Follow Ups, then click TouchPoints™ to get started.

Click on the Appointments tile. Locate the Online Review Request TouchPoint and then click on the 3-dot menu and choose Edit.

Within the TouchPoint, review the sites that are currently associated with your practice.


Activate Automated Review Requests

If you are unable to access this feature or make changes, you have not been granted permission in your user profile. Contact an admin team member in your practice to enable access or work with them to complete the steps outlined in the instructions below. Click here to learn how to update user permissions.

  1. From the left side menu, click on Follow Ups, then click TouchPoints™

  2. Click on the Appointments tile. Locate the Online Review Request TouchPoint and then click on the 3-dot menu and choose Edit

  3. Configure your review request settings:

    1. Choose the message timing:

      • 30 min after an appointment is completed

      • Between 6-7pm on the same day as the completed appointment

    2. Select which review site links will be sent to your patients. Select or deselect the checkbox next to each site

    3. Choose to Allow patient to share negative feedback with the practice by selecting/deselecting the checkbox

    4. Choose to attach an image to your review request by selecting the checkbox, then clicking Choose file to upload your image (Note: The same image will be sent to all patients. Do not upload any personal health information)

    5. Choose the preferred delivery channel: text or email

  4. Preview the message content that will be sent to patients and make any changes in Settings > Verbiage

  5. When finished, click Save

  6. Upon clicking save, you'll notice that the TouchPoint toggle will turn green and the status will show as Active. Review requests will now be sent to your patients automatically

What does it look like when I allow patients to leave negative feedback?

Allowing patients to leave negative feedback will enable an additional field in the review link where patients can click to share negative feedback that will be sent directly back to the practice in the form of an Inbox notification.


This field will only show as an option if you have 2 or more review sites set up. Patients are still able to go to the review sites to leave a negative review.

Prevent Patients from Receiving Review Requests

You can opt patients out of receiving review requests in the Patient Card Settings.

Note for Swell users: If you have the Swell integration, opting patients out in the Patient Card Settings will also opt them out of any review requests sent from Swell.


Reward Loyalty Points to Patients that Leave Reviews

Patients that use the Modento Loyalty App have the ability to earn rewards points when they leave a review for your practice.

In order for the patient to be awarded points for a review, the patient must click on one of the links provided to determine which platform the review will appear on, then leave a rating and/or comment.

In your Engagement Inbox, a notification will appear that says "Patient has started an online review on Facebook/Google/etc." From there, confirm that the patient completed the review on the site, and then click Approve on the inbox notification to award the points.

If the patient did not actually leave a review, it can be ignored.
