Understanding the Inbox: Private Customer Feedback

The Inbox is where unhappy or lukewarm customers land privately — before they ever reach Google or Facebook — so you can make things right one-on-one.

Where inbox items come from

When Qrese sends a customer a review request, the customer is first asked to rate their experience. What happens next depends on the rating:

  • Great — the customer is invited to leave a public review, so they never appear in the Inbox.
  • Poor or Okay — the customer is asked to share what went wrong privately. Their rating and any written comments come to your Inbox instead of a public review site.

A customer doesn't have to write anything to show up here — a Poor or Okay rating with no comment still creates an inbox item, so you can reach out even when they didn't explain.

Inbox page showing the Private Customer

A tour of the page

The page is titled Inbox, with the same location selector you'll recognize from the Reviews page, and a section heading Private Customer Feedback.

Tabs:

  • All — everything.
  • Unresolved (selected by default) — items waiting for your attention.
  • Replied — items you've answered or closed. This tab groups replied, AI-replied, and resolved items together.

Each feedback card shows:

  • The customer's name.
  • A rating badge: Poor (red frown) or Okay (amber "meh" face).
  • The location name, plus the date and time the feedback came in.
  • A status badge: Unresolved, Replied, Qrese AI Replied (with a sparkles icon), or Resolved (with a check icon).
  • A red left border when the item is unread. Clicking into the reply box marks it as read and the border disappears.
  • On unresolved items: a Resolve button and an Assign button.

Filters

Click the filter (funnel) button to open the Filters menu:

  • Location — starts at All Locations; narrow to one location.
  • StatusAll Status, Unresolved, Replied, or Resolved.
  • DateAll Time, Last Week, Last Month, or Last 3 Months.
  • Assigned ToAll, Unassigned, or a specific team member.
  • RatingAll, Poor, or Okay. (There's no "Great" option — those customers go to public reviews, not the Inbox.)
  • Sort ByNewest First or Oldest First.

When filters are active, a Reset Filters option appears in the menu to clear them all.

If nothing matches, you'll see No feedback found with a note suggesting you adjust your filters or check back later.

Loading more items

The Inbox shows 20 items at a time. Click Load More at the bottom (it shows how many items remain) to fetch the next batch.

Tips

  • New feedback can take up to a minute to appear. If a customer just submitted feedback, give the page a minute and refresh.
  • The Assigned To filter looks only at items already loaded on the page, so click Load More first if you're hunting for everything assigned to one person.
  • The little cartoon avatars next to assignees are automatically generated illustrations, not your team members' real photos.
  • You'll only see feedback for locations you belong to.
