Add or Modify Practice Review Sites

Engagement automatically populates your existing review sites when your module is initially set up.

You can access your practice review website listings in your Engagement Settings under the Practice Setup tab. Click on Practice info section to review the websites that are currently associated with your practice. If you do not see all of your review sites listed here, simply copy and paste the site URL into the available fields.


Enable Automatic or Manual Review Requests

Once your review sites are added, set up your Review preferences to automatic, manual or via Swell.

  1. Access Engagement Settings in the upper right corner

  2. Click on the Practice Setup tab and then click on the Reviews section

  3. Select the bubble next to Manual or Automatic

    1. Manual will require you to send them individually or in bulk to specific patients that you choose

    2. Automatic will enable Engagement to automatically send the review request depending on the timing selected:

      • 30 min after an appointment is completed

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

    3. If you use Swell as a review service, select Swell. Refer to this article to learn more about setting up Swell in Engagement

    4. Click here to learn more about Automatic message timing

  4. For both Automatic and Manual review requests, you can select which Review Sites will be included in the Engagement review requests link. Simply select or deselect the checkbox next to each site

  5. The Allow patient to share negative feedback with the practice option 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.

  1. Click on the Patients tab in the left side menu of Engagement

  2. Search for a patient using the search bar or click on the three dot menu next to the patient's initials

  3. Click on Settings

Automatic and manual review requests will not be sent to patients who opt out of Engagement notifications.

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.
