The Avatar Slider widget is built around the reviewer as much as the review itself. Every slide puts the reviewer’s avatar, name, and identity front and centre alongside their testimonial, so the quality and completeness of each reviewer’s profile directly affects how persuasive the widget looks to visitors. Manually curating that list every time a new review arrives takes time, and gaps can appear when strong new reviews go unnoticed.
The Setup Automation button in the Select Reviews tab solves this by letting you define a set of rules once. After that, any new review in your Feedspace account that matches your criteria, such as a minimum star rating, a positive sentiment classification, or the presence of a reviewer name and photo, is added to the Avatar Slider automatically. Your slider stays populated with credible, identity-rich reviews without any ongoing manual effort.
Log in to your Feedspace account and navigate to the Widgets section from the left sidebar. Locate your Avatar Slider widget and click Edit to open the widget editor. If you have not yet created an Avatar Slider widget, click Create Widget, choose Avatar Slider as the widget type, and proceed to the editor.
Inside the widget editor, click the Select Reviews tab at the top of the panel. This tab displays all reviews available in your Feedspace account. It is also where the Setup Automation button is located.
Click the Setup Automation button. The automation filter panel slides open on the right side of the screen. Toggle the automation switch to the on position to activate it. Once enabled, Feedspace will begin applying your rules to new reviews as they arrive.
Because the Avatar Slider highlights who said something just as much as what they said, the Reviewer Details filter is especially valuable here. Enable this filter to only include reviews where the reviewer has a name, a profile image, a job role, or a company. Combining name and profile image as required fields ensures every slide in your Avatar Slider has a complete and trustworthy visual identity.
Select the star rating range you want to automatically include. Choose 4 to 5 stars to ensure only your strongest reviews surface in the slider. You can also apply a Review Sentiment filter and select Positive to add a second layer of quality control, so reviews that are numerically and tonally strong are the ones displayed alongside each reviewer’s avatar and name.
Use the Review Type filter to restrict automation to specific formats such as text comments, video reviews, or audio reviews. If your Avatar Slider is designed to show a particular kind of testimonial, this filter keeps it consistent. You can also filter by Auto-Imported Sources or Imported Review Sources to pull only from platforms where reviewers tend to have complete public profiles, such as Google or Trustpilot.
In the Keywords section, enter words that matching reviews must contain, or words that should exclude a review from being added automatically. For example, you could require reviews that mention a specific product name to appear in your slider, or exclude any review that contains a competitor’s name. Keyword rules work alongside all other filters, giving you precise control over the review content that gets surfaced in your Avatar Slider.
Once you have configured your filters, click Save in the automation panel to store the rules. Then click Save & Next in the widget editor header to apply the changes to your Avatar Slider widget. From this point forward, any new review that matches your criteria will be automatically added to the slider without any manual selection needed.
To clear your current automation setup, open the automation panel and click Reset. This removes all active filters. You can then toggle automation off entirely or reconfigure a fresh set of rules from scratch.
