How to create a Shopper Approved-specific Journey
To create a Shopper Approved-specific journey, click on “Journeys” in the left-hand menu and click the “+ Create Journey” button.
2. Choose the “Start from scratch” option:
3. Choose one of the Shopper Approved Journey triggers to start your journey.
Note: these triggers will only be available after one of your subscribers fills out the initial survey, the initial survey with product, and the full survey. For example, if you haven’t gotten a 1- or 2-star review, the Journey trigger “1- and 2-star Critical Review Response SMS” will not be available to you. If your Shopper Approved plan does not include Product Reviews, you will not see the “Product Review SMS” trigger in your dashboard.
The Shopper Approved Journey triggers are:
Seller Rating SMS (initial seller survey has been filled out).
Product Review SMS (initial survey has been filled out on a site that has product reviews).
4- and 5-star Positive Review Response SMS (full survey has been filled out with an overall rating of 4 or 5 stars).
3-star Neutral Review Response SMS (full survey has been filled out with an overall rating of 3 stars).
1- and 2-star Critical Review Response SMS (full survey has been filled out with an overall rating of 1 or 2 stars).
4. After you’ve picked your trigger, you can create your Journey.
