The following screenshot tour is a simplified overview of the feedback request loop using the unique feedback URL of a business available within MagicRating. This is not a complete representation of all features, functions and options available within MagicRating. The advantage of the example flow below is that you do not need to know your customers email address. If you already know your customers email you can send a feedback request directly as shown in the flow here.
