Google Review

The Google Review button opens the Google Rate and review form in a pop-up window where the survey taker can post a review of the company. If not already signed in, the survey taker is prompted to do so.

Shortly after the pop-up loads, the button changes to its disabled state.

For information on how to implement a social link in a survey, see Social links in surveys.

Configure the link with these parameters. The values may be literal or retrieved from Data fields.

    <span id="google-review-window-height">800</span>
    <span id="google-review-window-width">800</span>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        if (!Array.isArray(window.MedalliaSocialLinks)) {
            window.MedalliaSocialLinks = [];
        }

        window.MedalliaSocialLinks.push({
            type: 'googleReview',
            placeId: document.getElementById('google-review-placeId').innerHTML,
            windowHeight: document.getElementById('google-review-window-height').innerHTML,
            windowWidth: document.getElementById('google-review-window-width').innerHTML
        });
    </script>
</div>

Retrieving a Google Place ID

To obtain the Google Place ID of the unit, enter the location name in Place ID Finder, making sure the location is accurate.

For the link to work, Google must have a correct Business profile for the location. Otherwise, it returns an error.

Google Place ID appears in the map on the Google Developer's web site.
