Frequently asked questions
Which review sources work?
Any that expose reviews via API or feed — Google Business, Trustpilot, Yelp, App Store, or an aggregator. Normalize each new review into { rating, text, author, source } and the alert + draft logic is identical. The recipe focuses on the low-rating path.
Should the AI reply be posted automatically?
No. Public responses to unhappy customers need a human's judgment. The draft is a starting point delivered to Slack; a person reviews, personalizes, and posts. Auto-posting canned apologies reads as robotic and can make things worse.
