Track Your App Store Rating and Alert Slack on Every Change
This checks your overall App Store rating on a schedule and pings Slack whenever it moves or a new review lands — so a dip in reputation reaches you in hours, not weeks.
- 1
Step 1 — Schedule the check
Add a
Schedule Trigger(e.g. every few hours). - 2
Step 2 — Read the current rating
Add an
HTTP Request/App Storenode to fetch your current average rating and review count. - 3
Step 3 — Compare to last time
Store the previous values and add an
Ifnode so Slack is only pinged when the rating or count actually changes. - 4
Step 4 — Alert Slack
Add a
Slacknode. SetResourcetoMessageandOperationtoSend. Choose the channel (e.g.#alerts) and drop the old vs new rating and any new review text into the message text using expressions like{{ $json.summary }}. Connect your Slack OAuth or bot-token credential.
Frequently asked questions
How fast will I hear about a bad review?
As fast as your Step 1 schedule — every few hours is a good balance. For instant alerts, pair this with the reply-drafting recipe for the same App Store.
Can I track competitors too?
Yes — add their App Store profiles to the list in Step 2 so you benchmark your rating against theirs over time.
