Sentiment analysis of product reviews using Google Sheets & OpenAI

🧠 Sentiment Analysis of Product Reviews using Google Sheets & OpenAI

🚀 Quick Implementation Steps

Automated customer feedback analyzer:

• Trigger: Google Sheets triggers on new product review rows.
• Sentiment Analysis: Review text sent to OpenAI.
• Writeback: Resulting sentiment (Positive, Neutral, Negative) is written back to the sheet.

Just connect your credentials and sheet — you're ready to go!

🔍 What It Does

This workflow automatically analyzes user-submitted product reviews and classifies them by sentiment using OpenAI’s powerful language models. It eliminates the need to manually sift through feedback by tagging each review with a sentiment score.

The sentiment result is then written back to the Google Sheet next to the original review, enabling you to get a fast, clear snapshot of overall customer perception, satisfaction and pain points. Whether you're monitoring 10 or 10,000 reviews, this process scales effortlessly and updates every minute.

👤 Who’s It For

This workflow is designed for:

• E-commerce teams collecting user reviews.
• Product teams monitoring customer feedback.
• Marketing teams identifying promotable reviews.
• Support teams watching for negative experiences.
• SaaS platforms, apps, and survey tools managing structured text feedback.

• A Google Sheet with two columns: Review and Sentiment
• Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials in n8n
• OpenAI API Key (for GPT-4o-mini or GPT-3.5)
• n8n instance with LangChain and OpenAI nodes enabled

⚙️ How It Works

1. Google Sheets Trigger: Watches for new rows every minute
