Core concepts
Organizations, members, review sources, replies and analysis: the vocabulary used throughout these docs.
Organization
An organization is one workspace. It owns its reviews, its connected sources, its AI settings, its team and its subscription. Data never crosses between organizations. See Security and privacy.
You can belong to several organizations and switch between them from the sidebar. How many you may create depends on your plan.
Member and role
Everyone in an organization holds one of three roles:
| Role | Typically | |---|---| | Owner | The person who owns the account and the billing | | Admin | Manages sources, AI settings and the team | | Member | Reads reviews and replies to them |
Full breakdown in Roles and permissions.
Review source
A review source is one connection to one place your reviews live: a Google location, a Facebook Page, a Tripadvisor location. An organization can have several, and each can be paused or disconnected independently.
Review
A review as ReviewHive stores it: a star rating from 1 to 5, the written comment if there is one, who left it, when it was written and last changed, which source it came from, and whether it has been replied to.
Ratings are normalized across providers, so a Facebook recommendation and a Google five-star review can sit in the same chart honestly. A review that a provider hands us without a usable rating is rejected rather than stored as a zero, which would drag your average down for no reason.
Reply
Your public answer to a review. In ReviewHive a reply is always written or approved by a person before it is posted. AI drafts it and you send it.
Analysis, or the AI Analyst
The reading of a review that ReviewHive produces automatically: sentiment, what the customer wanted, how urgent it is, the topics mentioned, and a one-line summary. Every claim carries a quote from the review it came from.
Reviews with no written text still get a reading, but it is derived from the stars alone and is labelled as such. It never mixes into the charts that describe what people wrote.
Facet
A single filterable label from an analysis: Urgent, Complaints, Negative in the text, or a topic such as wait time. You can filter the inbox by one facet
at a time. See Filtering reviews.
Token
The unit AI reply generation is measured in. Each plan includes a monthly token allowance. Only replies you generate consume tokens. The automatic analysis of your reviews is paid for by ReviewHive. See AI usage and limits.
