Automate your app idea research with this Zapier workflow.

Paste a keyword into a spreadsheet and get back a preliminary analysis that you can scan in seconds.

🧵 Set it up in 3 steps:

Step 1:
--
Find good keywords with your favorite tool. I use Astro.

However, keyword research is only half the battle.

You still need to check: are ranking apps making money, are listings under-optimized, how many ratings, and other signals that you can win.

But doing this by hand is slow. Let's try to automate some of it!

Step 2:
--
Create a Google Sheet with columns keyword, score, explanation.

Step 3:
--
Set up a trigger in Zapier where adding a new keyword kicks off a workflow.

Use the AI step to automatically analyze the keyword and write back the result to the spreadsheet.

The initial score is simple: up to 4 points based on four checks:
• are there apps with ≤100 ratings?
• are there apps not using the keyword in title/subtitle?
• are there recently released apps ranking?
• are there apps generating revenue?

This workflow lets me sift more keywords, faster, then cherry-pick winners for deeper research and prototypes.

I show how to build this workflow in my latest video:
