How to connect Reviewflowz to the App Store?
You can now reply to App Store reviews in a single click, both from the reviewflowz dashboard, and from the Slack application.
But first, you'll need to connect your App Store account to reviewflowz.
To do that, we're using AppStore Connect API keys, as documented by Apple here.
First, connect to the App Store Connect interface, and head over to the Users & Access tab
There, you'll find a list of your existing team keys.
We're going to create a new one. Click the "+" icon
Name the key with an explicit name to make future management easier. For example: "reviewflowz"
In order to access your review data, and to be able to publish replies to reviews, you'll need one of the following scopes:
App Manager – This is the minimal viable scope, so it's the one you should use if you're not sure which scope to use.
Admin – This is the maximal scope, giving the key access to everything on the AppStore API. You shouldn't use this unless you absolutely need to. You won't need to for reviewflowz to work with the AppStore.
Click confirm, and you're done. You should now have an extra key in the list of keys (table)
On your reviewflowz account, head over to the integrations page.
Click the "Apple App Store" tab, and click "Add a new Apple API account".
You'll be presented with a form with 3 fields
Issuer ID
Key ID
Private Key File.
Here's where you can find all three on the app store connect dashboard
Click "Connect a new Apple API account", and then here's what will happen:
We'll go and fetch the applications the account has listed on the App Stores to confirm the connection is alive.
We'll cross-check every app with your App Store review profiles on reviewflowz if there are any that match, and update any profile with the AppStore review IDs, as well as update a few things on our side.
And we'll confirm you're good to go.
That's it!
From now on, you can reply to any AppStore review directly from reviewflowz, and from the reviewflowz Slack app!
