This section defines the reference fields that will be used for linking the Trustpilot invitation to a specific record in the CRM system.

TP Select Reference User Guide 1005px wide.jpg - Trustpilot Review Record field, any field created on Trustpilot Review record, i.e. setting to id field will ensure that every reference on Trustpilot is unique and can be connected to parent record by using Trustpilot Review record.

NOTE: Trustpilot allows only one review per email address and reference id.

i.e. if reference Id is order number, there can be multiple reviews related to that reference (order) but each must be done from different email address. This prevents multiple reviews by same reviewer to same reference.
