How Do I Use Automation to Auto-Select Reviews on My Avatar Blocks Widget in Feedspace?

Overview

The Avatar Blocks widget in Feedspace arranges reviews in a structured block grid, placing each reviewer’s avatar alongside their testimonial for a clean, organised presentation. Because the layout relies on a full grid of consistently formatted blocks to look its best, any gaps caused by a thin or outdated review selection make the design feel incomplete and undermine the credibility the widget is meant to project.

The Setup Automation feature in the Select Reviews tab solves this by letting you define rules once. Feedspace then automatically fills every block in your grid with reviews that match your chosen criteria, such as a star rating threshold, a positive sentiment score, a specific review type, or a keyword. The result is an Avatar Blocks grid that stays complete and current, reflecting your latest, highest-quality social proof without any ongoing manual curation.

How to Set Up Automation to Auto-Select Reviews for Your Avatar Blocks Widget

Step 1: Open Your Avatar Blocks Widget

Log in to Feedspace and navigate to the Widgets section from the left sidebar under Share Reviews. Locate your existing Avatar Blocks widget in the list and click on it to open the widget editor. If you have not created one yet, click Create Widget, choose Avatar Blocks, and complete the initial setup before continuing.

Step 2: Go to the Select Reviews Tab

Inside the widget editor, click the Select Reviews tab. This tab is where you choose which reviews populate each block in the grid. You will see any manually selected reviews listed here, along with the option to add more or switch to automated selection.

Step 3: Click the Setup Automation Button

Click the Setup Automation button within the Select Reviews tab. This opens the automation configuration panel where you define the rules that determine which reviews are automatically included in your Avatar Blocks widget. Toggle automation on to activate it.

Step 4: Configure Your Automation Rules

In the automation panel, set one or more rules to control which reviews qualify for your Avatar Blocks grid. The available rule types are:

• Star Rating: Include only reviews that meet a minimum star threshold, for example four stars and above, so every block in the grid represents a genuinely positive experience.
• Sentiment: Filter by positive, neutral, or negative sentiment to ensure the tone of every block aligns with the message you want to convey on that page.
• Review Type: Restrict selection to a specific format, such as text reviews, video testimonials, or star-only ratings, keeping the block layout visually consistent across the grid.
• Keywords: Include reviews that mention particular words or phrases, surfacing the most on-topic testimonials to fill your blocks with relevant social proof.

You can combine multiple rules to narrow the selection precisely. For example, requiring a four-star rating AND a positive sentiment ensures only your strongest testimonials occupy each block in the grid.

Step 5: Save and Activate the Automation

Once you have configured your rules, click Save to activate the automation. Feedspace will immediately apply the rules to your existing review library and populate the Avatar Blocks grid with all matching reviews. Going forward, any new review that meets your defined criteria will be added automatically, keeping every block filled with fresh, quality content without further manual effort.

Step 6: Save and Embed Your Widget

After confirming the auto-selected reviews look right for your Avatar Blocks layout, click Save & Next and copy the embed code. Paste it into your website to publish the widget. From this point, the block grid will stay complete and up to date as new qualifying reviews arrive, with no additional action required from you.

What You Can Do Next

• Add a keyword rule targeting a specific product or feature so every block in your Avatar Blocks grid highlights testimonials that are directly relevant to that page’s focus.
• Combine the star rating and sentiment filters to ensure only your strongest reviews are selected, keeping the structured block layout looking polished and complete at all times.
• Use the search and filter tools in the Select Reviews tab to preview which reviews your current automation rules are pulling in before embedding the grid on your site.
• Embed the Avatar Blocks widget on a dedicated testimonials page or product landing page and let automation keep every block filled with fresh, high-quality social proof automatically.
