# How do I add my own reviews or import a CSV file?

> Make a Your reviews source. Then add reviews by hand, or import them from a CSV file, for example a Senja export.

A **Your reviews** source holds reviews that you add yourself. Use it for the testimonials that your customers send you.

The reviews that you add show in your widgets at once. You do not need to approve them.

SnapWidget copies the photos and video files of your reviews to its own storage. Your widget keeps a photo or video when the original site removes it. If a photo does not load, the widget shows the initials of the reviewer.

## Make a Your reviews source

**1. Add a source**

[Log in](https://snapwidget.com/login) to SnapWidget. Click **Sources** in the sidebar, then click **Add Source**.

**2. Choose Your reviews**

Under **Reviews**, click **Your reviews**. In **Name**, type a name for the source, for example "Customer testimonials". Click **Create Source**.

Then add reviews by hand, or import a CSV file.

## Add a review by hand

**1. Open the source**

On the **Sources** page, click your **Your reviews** source.

**2. Click Add Review**

Click **Add Review**.

**3. Fill in the review**

**Name** and **Text** are necessary. All other fields are optional.

| Field | What to type |
| - | - |
| **Name** | The name of the reviewer |
| **Job title** | The job title of the reviewer |
| **Company** | The company of the reviewer |
| **Photo URL** | The link to a photo of the reviewer. It must start with `https://` or `http://`. |
| **Reviewer website** | The website of the reviewer. The name of the reviewer links to it. |
| **Title** | The title of the review |
| **Text** | The text of the review |
| **Rating** | 1 to 5 stars, in steps of half a star. Or **No rating**. |
| **From** | The logo to show on the review: G2, Trustpilot, Google, Facebook, X, Product Hunt, LinkedIn or Capterra. Or **No logo**. |
| **Date** | The date of the review |
| **Link to the review** | The link to the review on its site |
| **Video link** | A YouTube link, or a link to a video file (MP4, WebM or MOV) |

**4. Save the review**

Click **Add Review**. The review shows in your widgets at once.

## Import a CSV file

**1. Make the CSV file**

Put the column names in the first row, and one review in each row after it. See the column names below. A CSV file from Senja (**Export all to CSV**) works as it is.

**2. Open the source**

On the **Sources** page, click your **Your reviews** source.

**3. Import the file**

Click **Import CSV**. Select your file and click **Import**.

### Rules for the file

* The file needs a name column and a text column. SnapWidget skips a row that has no name or no text.
* SnapWidget does not add a review again if the source already has a review with the same name and text. You can import the same file again.
* SnapWidget reads up to 1,000 rows from one file.
* Links to photos, videos and websites must start with `https://` or `http://`.
* Words that you highlighted in Senja stay highlighted in your widget.

### Column names

SnapWidget reads these column names. Upper case, lower case, spaces and punctuation do not matter. For example, `Customer Name`, `customer_name` and `customername` all work.

| Field | Column names |
| - | - |
| Name (necessary) | `name`, `customer name`, `author`, `author name`, `full name`, `reviewer`, `reviewer name` |
| Text (necessary) | `text`, `testimonial`, `review`, `review text`, `body`, `content`, `message`, `quote`, `comment` |
| Job title | `job title`, `role`, `position`, `tagline`, `customer tagline`, `customer title` |
| Company | `company`, `customer company`, `company name`, `organization`, `organisation` |
| Photo | `avatar`, `avatar url`, `customer avatar`, `photo`, `image`, `picture`, `user photo` |
| Reviewer website | `customer url`, `customer website`, `website`, `website url`, `author url`, `reviewer url`, `company url`, `company website` |
| Title | `title`, `headline`, `review title`, `summary` |
| Rating | `rating`, `stars`, `score` |
| Date | `date`, `created at`, `published at`, `submitted at`, `review date` |
| Link to the review | `url`, `link`, `source url`, `review url` |
| Video | `video mp4 url`, `video url`, `video`, `videos`, `youtube`, `youtube url` |
| Logo | `platform`, `source`, `integration`, `site` |

More about the values:

* **Rating**: a number, for example `5` or `4.5`. A number above 5 counts as 5.
* **Date**: most date formats work, for example `2026-10-26`.
* **Video**: if a cell has more than one link, separated by commas, SnapWidget uses the first link. If a row has a link in the `video mp4 url` column, SnapWidget uses that link first. If a row has no video but its link to the review is a YouTube link, SnapWidget shows that YouTube video.
* **Logo**: `G2`, `G2 Crowd`, `Google`, `Google Reviews`, `Capterra`, `Trustpilot`, `Product Hunt`, `Twitter`, `X`, `LinkedIn` or `Facebook`. Other values show no logo.
