Review Bot

Configure the bot to deliver your app reviews to Slack or Microsoft Teams — and reply directly from there.

Based on self-hosted-n8n-template with Traefik for simple deployment on your domain and predefined n8n workflows for the review bot.

Getting Started

You can run this in two modes:

🔹 Managed (hosted by us)

• ✅ We handle setup, hosting, updates, maintenance
• ✅ Fastest path, no ops
• ❌ You must share access (API keys, etc.)
• ❌ Less flexibility for deep customization

Use managed? Send us your App Definition and Credentials. We’ll deploy and configure the stack for you.

🔹 Self-hosted

• ✅ Full control over infrastructure and data
• ✅ Customize anything
• ❌ You maintain it
• ❌ Some technical effort (Railway/Docker makes it easy)
• ❌ You pay hosting (usually small)

Self-host steps (in this order):

1. Deploy the stack → Deployment.md
   • Result: n8n + Traefik reachable at your public domain (e.g., https://reviewbot.yourcompany.com).
2. Create your App Definition → App_Definition.md
   • Put your apps in a Google Sheet (field schema provided).
3. Configure integrations (Slack / Microsoft Teams)
   • Set up the Slack app or Teams bot in your workspace/tenant and collect IDs per the guide.
4. Fill in credentials inside n8n → Credentials.md
   • These are n8n credentials (OAuth/API keys/secrets) used by the workflows.
5. Enable workflows in n8n and set schedules/webhooks.

Process Overview

1. Define apps → App Definition
2. Deploy runtime → Deployment
3. Configure bots + paste n8n credentials → Credentials
4. Turn on workflows → reviews flow to Slack/Teams, replies go back to stores 🚀

Documentation

• Deployment.md — Run stack with Traefik on your domain
• App_Definition.md — Fields, examples, language, Teams/Slack IDs
• Credentials.md — All n8n credentials (Slack/Teams, Apple, Google)

Notes

• If you don’t want to self-host, use Managed: send us APP_DEFINITION + CREDENTIALS.
• Self-host requires a public domain + TLS (Traefik handles certs in the template).
• Workflows ship preconfigured; you only map your Google Sheet and credentials.
• Set HMAC_SECRET in .env (Slack webhook verification).
