Request app reviews in admin with the new Reviews API

The new App Bridge Reviews API allows Shopify apps to request reviews directly within the Shopify admin interface. * Better merchant experience: Leave reviews directly in the Shopify admin with in-context prompts vs. multi-step App Store redirects. * No customization required: The component has already been designed—you control when the review modal is shown to merchants (following our guidelines). * Support callouts: The “Get Support” button will also be surfaced in the review modal, giving merchants with issues a direct path to resolution as an alternative to leaving a review.

Is this available for admin actions / extensions?

Hey @Jonathan, this would not be recommended.

  • Don’t trigger a request with a button, link, or other call to action. Because the request might be rate-limited and the modal isn’t guaranteed to display, your app UI would appear to be broken.

Why can’t there be an API to check if writing a review is available, and then we could use that to conditionally enable the button?

Hey guys, I love this, but can we bypass the rate limit for development/testing purposes somehow on a dev store or with a parameter? I can’t see the modal for the next 60 days now :smiley:

I don’t think there’s any reason to have to see it for testing. You can just call the API and log the response and that will tell you if it would have shown or not.
