Alerts and reports

Send and verify a ReviewBot test alert

A successful test alert proves the whole handoff—not just that a button can be clicked. Verify the source, content, destination, and next action before you invite a larger team or add more apps.

Follow these steps

Complete the workflow, then verify it

  1. 1

    Open the saved Flow

    In the dashboard, open the Flow you want to verify. Confirm the source app, destination, task, and rules are the ones you intend to test.

  2. 2

    Trigger the test alert

    Use the Flow setup action to send the test alert. Wait for the destination to receive the message before changing the configuration.

  3. 3

    Check the review context

    Look for rating, title or body, app or platform context, locale or version where available, timestamp, and the original review link.

  4. 4

    Ask the owner to acknowledge it

    The person responsible for the destination should be able to identify the next action without opening several dashboards or asking who owns the message.

  5. 5

    Only then expand the Flow

    If the handoff is correct, add another app, locale, keyword, or destination. If it is not, fix the smallest part of the setup and send another test.

Quick checklist

  • The test reached the intended destination.
  • Review details are readable and complete.
  • The original review link works.
  • The destination owner knows the next action.

If something does not work

No test alert arrives+

Check the Flow status, connected account, destination permissions, and selected channel or inbox. Reconnect the destination if authorization has expired, then send the test again.

The test arrives but the link or fields are missing+

Confirm the source app and Flow are correct, then report the missing context to support with the Flow configuration—not private review content.

Frequently asked questions

Does a test alert count as a real review?+

No. It is a delivery check for the Flow and destination. It should not be treated as customer feedback or included in product trend analysis.

When should I send another test?+

Send one after changing the destination, permissions, source app, or important alert rules.
