Autopilot & Automation

Autopilot lets RepliFast find new reviews, write replies, and post them for you, while still keeping you in control of anything sensitive. It is a Pro feature, and it is included in your free trial so you can try it. You set it up in Settings under the Reply automation tab.

What autopilot does
When it is on, the whole flow runs without you.
1

Finds new reviews

New reviews are picked up automatically and brought into your dashboard.

2

Writes replies

The AI writes a reply for each new review using your brand voice and rules.

3

Posts the safe ones

Replies that match your approval rules are posted to Google for you. Anything sensitive waits for you.

Live updates
On paid plans, RepliFast reacts to new reviews almost in real time. There is nothing to switch on.
1

Reviews within minutes

RepliFast uses Google's live notifications, so a new review usually appears about 10 minutes after it is left. A daily check at the time you pick catches anything missed. Starter and up.

2

Fast replies

On Pro, a reply your answer allows to post goes to Google within minutes of the review arriving, so customers get a fast response.

How autopilot answers new reviews
You choose how much RepliFast posts on its own. Pick one answer in Settings, under Reply automation, or on the dashboard.
1

Write drafts, I post them

RepliFast writes a reply for every new review and nothing goes to Google on its own. You read, edit if you like, and post.

2

Post replies to 4 and 5 star reviews

Happy reviews are answered and posted for you. Reviews with 3 stars or fewer wait as drafts.

3

Post everything except 1 and 2 star reviews

Most reviews are answered and posted for you. 1 and 2 star reviews wait as drafts for your attention.

4

Replies waiting from earlier

If replies were approved but never reached Google, a switch appears under the two posting answers. Turn it on and RepliFast posts about 10 a day, newest first, skipping any you already answered on Google.

The context check (always on)
This is the safety net that makes autopilot safe to trust.
1

It catches sensitive reviews

Even in an auto mode, if a review mentions a specific detail only you would know, RepliFast does not auto-post a guessed reply. It holds the review and asks you for a quick line of context.

2

It cannot be turned off

The context check is always on, so autopilot never posts an answer to something it does not actually understand.

The daily check
You decide when the daily check runs.
1

Your local time

Pick the time of day for the daily check, in your own timezone, from a list of two-hour slots. RepliFast shows your detected timezone so there is no guesswork.

2

Every day of the week

The daily check runs every day, weekends included, because reviews come in then too.

Email summaries
Stay informed without watching the dashboard.
1

Daily summary

Turn on email notifications to get a summary of what autopilot did: new reviews, replies posted, and anything waiting for you.

2

Nudges when you are needed

You also get a heads-up when a review needs your attention, such as a context check, so nothing slips through.

💡 Pro Tips
  • Start with "Post replies to 4 and 5 star reviews" so happy reviews are handled while you keep an eye on complaints.
  • The context check means you can trust autopilot without worrying it will guess about things it does not know.
  • Try a manual sync and a few replies first to see the quality before turning everything on.
  • Set the daily run time to a slot that fits your day, in your own timezone.
