Why Customize the Judge.me Testimonial Feed?
By default, Judge.me featured testimonials in Klaviyo email templates are functional but plain and difficult to read.

With a few tweaks, you can:
- Match your brand colors and fonts — reinforce brand recognition and build trust with every scroll.
- Create visual consistency with your email design — make your emails feel seamless and polished.
Here’s how to do it without knowing any code. You’ll learn how to use AI to customize the code to paste directly into your Klaviyo template.
Step 1: Start With the Default Judge.me Testimonial Feed
Judge.me’s Klaviyo integration uses a dynamic feed to pull recent testimonials into your email template.
Follow Judge.me’s tutorial to integrate Judge.me with Klaviyo, set up the testimonial webfeed, and copy the featured testimonial code snippet.
Copy the default Judge.me testimonial snippet and paste it into a plain text editor.
Next you'll edit the code snippet.
Step 2: Limit the Number of Testimonials
By default, the code displays 5 testimonials — which can overwhelm your email layout, especially on mobile.
Look for this line in the default Judge.me code:
{% for testimonial in feeds.JudgemeReviewTestimonialsFeed.testimonials %}
Replace it with this version to show only the first 3 reviews:
{% for testimonial in feeds.JudgemeReviewTestimonialsFeed.testimonials|slice:"3" %}
This keeps your email layout clean, easier to scan, and more likely to get clicks.
Step 3: Use AI to Customize Layout and Branding
Now that you’ve trimmed the number of featured reviews to 3, it’s time to style them to match your brand without writing code.
Start by pasting the Judge.me snippet you've edited to display 3 reviews into ChatGPT or Claude. Then use prompts like these to direct AI to modify the code's layout and styling:
- Re-arrange review layout in this order: Stars, review, customer's name, linked product title
- Make this Judge.me review block match my brand colors (provide your brand's hex codes for the stars, the block background, the testimonial background)
- Add a rounded border around each testimonial
- Truncate the review content to 60 words instead of 30
- Optional: change the star style to match the style you picked in your Judge.me settings (star, heart, etc.)
Paste the customized AI-generated code into a Klaviyo HTML block.

These small tweaks improve readability, align your featured testimonial block with your brand, and make your emails look more polished.

Want to Track Clicks From Your Judge.me Reviews?
Because the product links in the Judge.me testimonial feed are dynamically generated, Klaviyo's automatic UTM tracking isn't added to them.
