What it does

Keeps a living competitive-intelligence table in Coda fed by your BigQuery review warehouse. Each run reads the rolling topic aggregates for every tracked app and upserts a row showing the dominant complaint topic, dominant praise topic, overall sentiment, and whether each is trending up or down versus last week. The Coda doc becomes the single source operators check instead of digging through raw reviews.

When to use it

Use it when stakeholders want a glanceable scoreboard of where competitor sentiment stands, refreshed automatically, without anyone running SQL. Ideal for a weekly competitive standup or a leadership dashboard.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger starts the sync.
  2. 2A BigQuery query returns rolling 7-day vs prior-7-day topic aggregates per app.
  3. 3A logic step computes the trend direction and picks the top complaint and praise per app.
  4. 4Each app's computed row is upserted into the Coda competitive tracker table by app key.
  5. 5A summary of which apps changed direction is posted to Slack so the team knows what to look at.
