Automations for your apps in the App Store

Tellagent can start an automation when something happens to one of your apps in the App Store: someone gets it, a buyer pays or is refunded, a review appears, a free trial is about to end or a licence ends. App Store triggers open with the store, which is not open yet.

In Tellagent → Automations, open the trigger and choose from App Store:

Getting and buyingSomeone got your app (a free app), App sold (a one-off price or a subscription payment; test payments say so in {{trigger.sale.test}}), Sale refunded.
ReviewsReview posted, with the stars, title and text.
Trials and licencesTrial ending (3 days before a free trial ends, once per trial), Licence ended (refunded, cancelled or removed by VeraGen).

Each trigger starts automations in the project the app belongs to, once for each event. It lists what it brings, such as {{trigger.app.name}} or {{trigger.review.stars}}, with an example.

Who the contact is

Buyers' details stay private unless they choose otherwise. A sale, refund, trial ending or licence ended brings the buyer as the contact only when the buyer chose to share their details with you, is 18 or over and is already a contact in your Thrive. Then {{trigger.buyer.name}} and {{trigger.buyer.email}} are filled in. Otherwise the automation runs without a contact: steps that email or text the contact are skipped, and Notify my team still works. VeraGen never adds a buyer to your Thrive for you.

Someone got your app and Review posted never say who. Reviews in the store are anonymous, so use them to tell your team.
