ReviewBot permissions and source access

Ordinary public-review monitoring uses a public listing; you do not need an App Store Connect or Google Play developer account. Publishing replies and Google Play complete-ratings reports have separate authorization requirements.

Follow these steps

Complete the workflow, then verify it

  1. 1

    Public monitoring

    Find a public App Store or Google Play listing in the Flow setup. No developer-account authorization is required for ordinary public written-review monitoring.

  2. 2

    Destination access

    Authorize Slack or Zendesk, supply Freshdesk’s subdomain/API key, or complete the selected Teams/email setup. Use only an account that can access the intended destination.

  3. 3

    Reply access

    Enable Reply-to-Review only for an eligible Slack or Zendesk Flow. Complete the separate store-account authorization and approve its per-Flow price. Public monitoring does not confer permission to publish replies.

  4. 4

    Google Play complete ratings

    Authorize the separate report-data connection if you need star-only ratings. Check source notes and freshness when interpreting the report.

  5. 5

    Request support securely

    Send the Flow name, public listing, destination type and approximate failure time. Do not send passwords, API keys, payment information or private customer records in a support message.

Quick checklist

  • Access matches the selected capability.
  • Destination belongs to the intended team.
  • Secrets entered only in the appropriate connection form.
