Workflow overview
Why this workflow matters
Relevant for managed services and support workflows.
Automatically track your Android app’s keyword rankings on Google Play. This workflow checks ranks via SerpApi, updates a Baserow table, and posts a heads-up in Slack so your team can review changes quickly. 💡 Perfect for ASO teams tracking daily keyword positions Growth & marketing standups that want quick rank visibility Lightweight historical logging without a full BI stack 🧠 What it does Runs on a schedule (e.g., weekly) Queries SerpApi for each keyword’s Play Store ranking Saves results to Baserow: Current Rank, Previous Rank, Last modified Sends a Slack alert: “Ranks updated — review in Baserow” ⚡ Requirements SerpApi account & API key Baserow account + API token Slack connection (bot/app or credential in AlekSystem) ⚙️ Setup Instructions 1) Create a Baserow table Create a new table (any name). Add user-field names exactly: Keywords (text) Current Rank (number) Previous Rank (number) Last modified (date/time) Optional fields you can add later: Notes, Locale, Store Country, App Package ID. 2) Connect credentials in AlekSystem Baserow: add your API token and select your Database and Table in the Baserow nodes. Slack: connect your Slack account/workspace in the Slack node. SerpApi: open the HTTP Request node and put your API key under Query Parameters → api_key = YOUR_KEY. 3) Verify field mapping In the Baserow (Update Row) node, map: Row ID → {{$json.id}} Current Rank → {{$json["Current Rank"]}} Previous Rank → your code node should set this (the template copies the old “Current Rank” into “Previous Rank” before writing the new one) Last modified → {{$now}} (or the timestamp you compute) 🛟 Notes & Tips If you prefer a single daily Slack summary instead of multiple pings, add a Code node after updates to aggregate lines and send one message. Treat 0 or missing ranks as “not found” and flag them in Slack if helpful. For multi-country tracking, include hl/gl (locale/country) in your SerpApi query params and store them as columns. 🤝 Need a hand?
