What you need first

Owner access to your review pages so reviews can be read and answered.

Find your provider's instructions for the keys (opens a web search). Look for words like API keys, integrations or developer settings in your provider's admin area.

If you don't have a provider yet, the built-in feature keeps working. Your own provider's help is the source of truth.

The steps

Open External Systems & Add-ons, Marketplace and choose External Review Platform.
Get the details above from your provider. Keep them private; never put them in a message or note.
Paste them into the connection form. They are stored separately for Test and Live.
Allow only what this connection needs: Reviews; ratings; responses.
Match your provider's names to ours on the Mapping tab, then press Test.
It shows Connected only after the test passes. Watch its Health, and use Safe Disable to turn it off at any time.

Technical steps from the build package

Settings > External Systems & Add-ons > Marketplace: activate External Review Platform (paid add-on where applicable).
Enter the credentials your provider gives you (kept separate per environment).
Grant only these permissions: Reviews; ratings; responses.
Map codes and fields on the Mapping tab.
Run Test; status becomes Connected only after a pass.
Watch Health; use Safe Disable to turn it off.

Without this connection: Reviews can be logged and answered internally.

Degraded: warnings, partial sync, fallback for impaired functions. Down: Reviews can be logged and answered internally; queued writes replay safely on recovery.
