How to get notified of new reviews on the Google Workspace Marketplace

Short answer: the Marketplace won't do it for you. There is no review notification for developers, in any form. This article covers what actually exists, what people try instead, and how to get every new review into your inbox anyway.

What the Marketplace gives you today: nothing

Reviews of your add-on live on its public listing, under the Reviews tab, and that is the whole story. Nothing pushes them to you: no email when a review is posted, no alert in the Google Cloud console, nothing to enable in the Marketplace SDK configuration, and no reviews endpoint in the Marketplace API. The Marketplace release notes have never announced such a feature either. Whether you publish an editor add-on, a Gmail add-on or a Chat app, a review can only be found by opening your listing and looking.

This is one place where the Chrome Web Store is actually ahead: it has a native, if well hidden, email notification for reviews. We covered it in How to get email notifications for Chrome Web Store reviews. On the Marketplace, there is no switch to flip.

Option 1: check by hand

The zero-tooling approach: put a recurring reminder in your calendar, open your listing, read the Reviews tab. If you do this, switch the language filter to all languages, because the Marketplace only shows you one language at a time and most developers have users writing in several.

Manual checking works while your add-on is small. It fails exactly when it matters: the week you are busy shipping is the week a one-star review sits on top of your listing, unanswered, quietly costing you installs.

Option 2: build a watcher

Since there is no API for reviews, automating it yourself means scraping: fetch the public listing page on a schedule, parse markup that Google can change without notice, cover every language, remember which reviews you have already seen, and handle the fact that users can edit a review at any time. It is a fun weekend project. We know, because Notify started as one. The unglamorous part is the years after: keeping the parser alive every time the page changes, and noticing when it breaks silently.

Option 3: let Notify watch your listing

Notify is that watcher, run as a service. Paste your public Marketplace URL, pick a schedule (weekly, daily or hourly), and every new review lands in your inbox with the author, star rating and complete text, in every language your users write in. Existing reviews are baselined silently so you are never spammed with history, edited reviews are updated in place instead of pinging you twice, and each listing gets a rating chart over time. It reads only the public page, so it never needs access to your developer account. Plans start at $3 per month per listing, with 14 days free.
