  1. 1

    Step 1 — Schedule the check

    Add a Schedule Trigger (e.g. every few hours).

  2. 2

    Step 2 — Read the current rating

    Add an HTTP Request/Yelp node to fetch your current average rating and review count.

  3. 3

    Step 3 — Compare to last time

    Store the previous values and add an If node so Email is only pinged when the rating or count actually changes.

  4. 4

    Step 4 — Alert Email

    Add an Email Send (SMTP) node. Set the recipient, a clear subject, and build the body from the old vs new rating and any new review text. Add your SMTP credentials (or use Gmail).
