FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

Can my AI automatically find the latest reviews for a specific business location?

Yes! Use the list_reviews tool with the Location ID. Your agent will respond with the most recent customer reviews and their ratings in seconds.

02

How do I find my Podium Location ID?

Ask the AI agent to run the list_locations tool. It will retrieve all your business locations along with their unique IDs for you to use in other commands.

03

Can I send an SMS invitation for a review via the AI?

Absolutely. Use the send_review_invitation tool. Provide the customer details and the location ID, and the agent will trigger the invitation via Podium immediately.
