Analyze Amazon product reviews with Gemini and save to Google Sheets
📄 Description
This workflow automates the process of analyzing customer feedback on Amazon products. Instead of manually reading through hundreds of reviews, this template scrapes reviews (specifically targeting negative feedback), uses Google Gemini (AI) to analyze the root causes of dissatisfaction, and generates specific improvement suggestions. The results are automatically logged into a Google Sheet for easy tracking, and a Slack notification is sent to keep your team updated.
This tool is essential for understanding “Voice of Customer” data efficiently without manual data entry.
🧍 Who is this for
- Product Managers looking for product improvement ideas.
- E-commerce Sellers (Amazon FBA, D2C) monitoring brand reputation.
- Market Researchers analyzing competitor weaknesses.
- Customer Support Teams identifying recurring issues.
⚙️ How it works
- Data Collection: The workflow triggers the Apify actor (
junglee/amazon-reviews-scraper) to fetch reviews from a specified Amazon product URL. It is currently configured to filter for 1 and 2-star reviews to focus on complaints. - AI Analysis: It loops through each review and sends the content to Google Gemini. The AI determines a sentiment score (1-5), categorizes the issue (Quality, Design, Shipping, etc.), summarizes the complaint, and proposes a concrete improvement plan.
- Formatting: A Code node parses the AI’s response to ensure it is in a clean JSON format.
- Storage: The structured data is appended as a new row in a Google Sheet.
- Notification: A Slack message is sent to your specified channel to confirm the batch analysis is complete.
