Respond to a review
Post a reply to a Google or Facebook review, as the Respond button does.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/brightlocal/reviews/{review_id}/replies
write Confirm
Posts the reply under the connected Google Business Profile or Facebook page. It works only for reviews with can_respond true and the status Unread or Action Required. A longer reply is rejected before it is sent, and a review from another site fails with the link to its listing. The reply is public. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| review_id string required | string | Review ID from list_reviews. |
| body string required | string | Reply text, up to 350 characters. |
