New Review Watch alert for Acme

Proofling detected a review that meets your Review Watch alert rule on a monitored profile. Open Review Watch to investigate.

No ratingNo reviewerNo excerpt
Provider content stays out of the default email.

From permission to attention

The business stays in control.

Monitoring starts with a person choosing what Proofling may watch. Every later step stays tied to that selected profile and project.

  1. 1

    Authorize

    You choose the profiles

    A Proofling Owner or Admin connects Google through its OAuth screen, then selects only the Business Profile locations Proofling may monitor.

  2. 2

    Monitor

    Proofling watches for changes

    Where Google notifications can coexist, Review Watch listens for new and updated reviews. Otherwise, scheduled checks provide a safe fallback.

  3. 3

    Investigate

    The alert arrives first

    A qualifying review can trigger a generic email immediately. Optional customer verification runs separately and never delays the alert.

Provider-content clock

Useful now. Gone before day 30.

Google-provided review content is scheduled for purge at 29 days. Seeing the same unchanged review again does not restart that clock.

Unchanged refetches keep the original expiry.

Clear boundaries

Monitoring is not ownership.

Review Watch is built to help a team notice and investigate. It does not turn provider data into Proofling’s permanent content.

No scraping

Proofling uses customer-authorized provider APIs. It does not scrape Google reviews or work around provider controls.

No permanent Google archive

Google-provided review content is scheduled for deletion at 29 days and is not kept as a long-term review history.

No automatic replies

Review Watch helps a team investigate and prepare its response. It does not publish replies automatically.

No fake-review score

Proofling does not invent likelihood percentages or infer suspicion from a reviewer display name.

Prepared, not enabled

Google Review Watch remains off until approval is explicit.

Proofling has applied for Google Business Profile API access. The production connection stays disabled until Google approves the exact customer-authorized monitoring, alerting, processing, and retention use case.
