Disclaimer: smarter, more clever people might have already figured this out. But it’s news to me!

How To: Get Instant Notification of New Reviews on your Asset Store Product
(or, how to not get blindsided by angry/misinformed/confusing/genuine issue, etc reviews)
(or or, how to pimp your Customer Service and solve issues right away, leading to really happy users)

Step 1: Create an “IfThisThenThat” account (www.ifttt.com")
IFTTT is awesome! You’ll immediately think of a billion other uses for this service…but holdup pardner, let’s concentrate on this first :wink:

Step 2: Get your Publisher RSS Feed Link
Go to your Publisher Account Info Page (Unity ID)
Scroll down to the bottom, and copy the “RSS Feed” link

Step 3-A: Use this super-handy “recipe” that I already created: http://ift.tt/1fXE6Fb
Be sure to paste in your own RSS feed link (which we just copied in Step 2, above)!

Step 3-B: Or, create your own recipe
Just choose “RSS” as the “Trigger”
Paste in your RSS feed link (copied in step 2, above)
Set the “Action”- this could be almost anything you like! Text, Email, Phone Call, Twitter, Facebook, you name it…

~~
I hope this helps someone else, finding that RSS feed link literally made me do a lil’ happy dance! Linking with IFTTT just makes it even better. It’s an incredibly useful ability, being able to respond instantly to unhappy, confused, or knowledge-seeking users. Makes everyone happier, hurray!

Very interesting… I’m going to have to try this out!! :smile:

I’ve been using Feed2Mail, but this looks nice! Haven’t heard of IFTTT until today, sounds pretty awesome.

All I really want is a checkbox that says “Email me when new review is posted”… however, this is even better! I love getting a text right when the review comes through, so I can ninja-rope in and repair troubles, or at least respond, right away. And really, IFTTT has a dizzying array of possible uses…

Resurrecting the thread.:roll_eyes:
2 years have passed, and this topic hasn’t been pinned yet! :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you find any alternative solutions in the meantime?
