Judge.me + Commslayer integration guide

Connect Judge.me to handle product reviews from Commslayer. Each new review opens a ticket where you can reply publicly, reply privately or hide the review.

Available on Judge.me Awesome plan and all Commslayer plans

Note: Commslayer only integrates with Judge.me for review management. Other review apps are not supported.

What the integration does and how it helps

Turn product reviews into manageable support tickets while keeping full context on every customer interaction.

Key features:

  • See review history in every ticket — View all customer reviews in the sidebar when handling their support requests
  • Centralized review management — New reviews automatically create tickets in a dedicated Judge.me inbox
  • Quick moderation — Hide inappropriate reviews directly from your helpdesk
  • Flexible response options — Reply publicly on your store or privately via email

How it works

The integration syncs in real-time, pulling review data including:

  • Star rating and review text
  • Product information
  • Customer details
  • Review status (published, unpublished, spam)

Each new review creates a ticket in your Judge.me inbox and also show up in the "All conversations" tab.

Common use cases

  • Handle negative reviews quickly — Set up automations to prioritize 1-2 star reviews and resolve issues before they impact sales
  • Build customer relationships — Thank customers for positive reviews with personalized responses
  • Track sentiment patterns — Use labels to identify recurring product issues mentioned in reviews

How to set up the integration

  1. Go to Settings → Inboxes and click Add inbox.
  2. Select Judge.me.
  3. Pick the Store the reviews belong to and enter an Inbox name.
  4. Click Connect and approve the access request in Judge.me.
  5. Back in Commslayer, pick the agents who can access the inbox and click Add agents.

Each store can have one Judge.me inbox. The store you pick must be the store your Judge.me account is installed on.

Note: you need to be on the Judge.me Awesome plan to use the integration.

View customer review history

When handling email support tickets:

Note: Reviews only appear for email tickets, not social media interactions.

What the integration doesn't do

  • Review requests. You can't send a review request or a review link from Commslayer. Send those from Judge.me.
  • Product questions. Questions customers ask through Judge.me don't come into Commslayer. Reviews are the only thing that syncs.
  • Changes to a review. If a customer edits a review later, the ticket keeps the original text.
  • Reviews without an email address. A review only opens a ticket when Judge.me passes the reviewer's email.
  • Other review apps. Judge.me is the only review app that connects. For Trustpilot, you can send customers who rate a conversation 4 or 5 stars to your Trustpilot page with CSAT review routing. Create a CSAT survey →

Troubleshooting tips

Integration not connecting? Verify you have the Judge.me Awesome plan. The API access required for this integration is only available on their paid Awesome plan

Reviews not creating tickets? Check your Judge.me inbox is active in Settings > Inboxes

Can't see customer reviews in sidebar? Reviews only appear on email tickets. They won't show for social media comments or DMs

Missing older reviews? The integration only syncs reviews created after connection.

Best practices

  • Create saved replies for common review responses
  • Use AI to draft personalized thank you messages for positive reviews
  • Monitor your Judge.me inbox daily to maintain quick response times
