An App Review Response Workflow for Support and Product

Give each actionable review an owner, a response decision and a follow-up. Treat the operating process separately from product automation.

Receive a manageable stream

Start with a notification Flow for low-star reviews of one listing. Connect the destination your support team already checks. Star ratings and source scope select the stream; your team classifies the issue after delivery.

Decide whether a public reply helps

An access problem may need a private support conversation. A verified fix may deserve a short public update. A feature request may need acknowledgement without a roadmap promise. Keep passwords and account details out of public responses.

Track ownership in your existing tool

Record the review link, app, issue, owner and next check in the helpdesk or issue tracker. ReviewBot does not automatically assign product action owners or generate a release investigation.

Use the appropriate publishing path

Use the store console for apps you control, or configure the separate eligible Reply-to-Review integration for Slack/Zendesk. ReviewBot replies are a paid per-Flow add-on. A public listing and a working alert connection are not permission to reply.

Close the loop with evidence

When an issue is resolved, confirm the fix, update the internal record and decide whether the public reply needs editing. Review a new sample afterward. Count completed follow-ups, not only alerts received.
