</code></pre>
<p>1. Create a page with <code>[elsre_form require_token="yes"]</code>.<br />
2. Go to <strong>Reviews <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Review Links</strong> in the admin.<br />
3. Click <strong>Generate Link</strong> (optionally add a label for your reference).<br />
4. Copy the link and send it to your client.</p>
<p>Each link works only once. After the client submits their review, the link is marked as used.</p>
<h3>Developer Integration</h3>
<p>Generate review links programmatically from your own plugin or theme:</p>
<pre><code>$link = elsre_create_review_link( 'client@example.com' );
$link = elsre_create_review_link( 'client@example.com', 'John Doe', 42 );
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>First parameter: client email (unique identifier — reuses existing unused token if found)</li>
<li>Second parameter: optional label for admin reference</li>
<li>Third parameter: optional page ID containing <code>[elsre_form]</code> (auto-detected if omitted)</li>
<li>Returns the full URL with token, or empty string if no form page found</li>
</ul>
<p>Check availability before calling: <code>function_exists( 'elsre_create_review_link' )</code></p>
<h3>Admin Pages</h3>
<h4>Reviews List (Dashboard <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Reviews)</h4>
