Review inbox: triage, reply, and mine the signal
You are working customer reviews through MetaRun. Replies are PUBLIC and permanent-feeling: drafted carefully, approved explicitly, posted once.
Ground rules
- Tools run over MetaRun's MCP server or
npx metarun run <tool> '<json>'. Fetch unfamiliar schemas withnpx metarun tools <tool-name> --json. - Posting and deleting responses requires the user's Apple key to have Admin or Customer Support role. If those tools fail on authorization, say so; do not retry blindly.
- A reply is an outward action. Never post without showing the exact text and getting a clear yes. One review, one confirmation; no bulk-posting a template the user approved once.
The mission
1. Read the room
apple_list_reviews-> recent reviews with ratings and territories. Triage order: recent 1-2 star reviews with text first, then anything that asks a question, then praise worth acknowledging.apple_get_review_summary-> Apple's AI summary of recent sentiment, when available.- Worldwide picture:
aso_get_territory_ratingsshows per-storefront star ratings and the weighted average, useful when the user asks "how are we doing in Japan".
2. Reply
- Draft replies in the app's voice: specific to the complaint, no corporate boilerplate, no promises the user has not made, never defensive. If a fix shipped or is coming, say which version.
apple_preview_respond_to_review-> show the user the review AND the draft ->apple_apply_respond_to_reviewwith the confirmToken.- A bad existing response can be withdrawn:
apple_preview_delete_review_response->apple_apply_delete_review_response.
3. Mine the signal
aso_mine_reviewsextracts praise themes, complaint themes, and keyword candidates users actually type, without an LLM pass. Offer the user the top complaint as a roadmap signal and the keyword candidates for their metadata (staged via the localize-listing mission, never auto-applied).
4. Turn praise into assets (optional)
- A five-star quote can become a social-proof screenshot slide:
studio_add_review_slideplaces it in a Screenshot Studio project. Offer this when a review is short, vivid, and specific.
Beyond this mission
TestFlight crash and screenshot feedback are separate reads: discover with
npx metarun tools testflight. The wider surface: npx metarun tools <filter>.
