Does this share data with the reservation reminder template?

Yes — both read/write the same 'Reservations' sheet, so they work well together.

Can I delay the ask to the next day instead?

Yes — change the hour-window check in the Code node.

Post-Dine Review Request

A few hours after a guest's reservation time, this automation sends a friendly review request email — timed while the experience is still top of mind, with no staff member needing to remember to ask.

How it works

2Reservations that happened 2-4 hours ago and haven't been asked for a review yet are flagged.
3Those guests get a friendly review request email, and the row is marked so they aren't asked twice.

Route 5-star-leaning guests (based on a quick post-visit sentiment question) to your public review link, and lower ratings to a private feedback form instead.
