📊 Monitor app reviews with Google Gemini, Google Sheets, Slack, and Gmail
⚡ 0 views · 📊 Market Research & Insights
Description
Quick overview
This workflow fetches mobile app reviews from an HTTP endpoint, analyzes each review with Google Gemini for sentiment and support category, logs negative reviews to Google Sheets, and alerts your team via Slack and Gmail with an AI-suggested reply.
How it works
- Runs manually when you click Execute workflow in n8n.
- Calls an HTTP endpoint to retrieve a batch of app reviews and normalizes them into one item per review with metadata like rating, platform, and device details.
- Sends each review to Google Gemini to generate a sentiment label, sentiment score, and confidence, then parses the JSON response.
- Sends the same review to Google Gemini again to classify it into a single support category (for example Bug, Payment, or Crash) and parses the JSON response.
- If the review sentiment is Negative, appends or updates a row in Google Sheets with the review details, sentiment, and category.
- If the negative review meets the workflow’s critical conditions, posts an alert to a Slack channel, generates a short suggested reply with Google Gemini, and emails the review details and suggested response via Gmail.
Setup
- Provide Google Gemini (PaLM) credentials for the three Google Gemini nodes used for sentiment analysis, categorization, and reply generation.
- Update the HTTP Request node URL to your reviews API endpoint (and add any required authentication options).
- Connect Google Sheets credentials and update the spreadsheet/document ID and sheet tab so the columns (for example Review ID, Rating, Review, Category, and Sentimate) match your sheet.
- Connect Slack credentials and choose the target channel for critical review alerts.
- Connect Gmail credentials and update the recipient email address (sendTo) used for the review alert message.
