Overview

This integration monitors reviews across Microsoft's gaming platforms:
- Microsoft Store (PC and console versions)
- Xbox Store (console-specific reviews)

Reviews are automatically imported and delivered to your Discord channels with sentiment analysis and filtering options.

Getting Started

1. Add Microsoft Channel

Navigate to your Channels page and click the + button next to Microsoft Store.

2. Search for Your Game

Enter your game's name in the search field and click "Next".

Tips for better results:
- Use the exact game title as it appears on the Microsoft Store
- If you don't see your game, try variations (e.g., "Space Pirate Trainer" vs "Space Pirate Trainer DX")

3. Select Your Game

A list of matching apps will appear. Review the results and click "Select" next to your game.

What you'll see:
- Game title
- App ID
- Platform availability (PC/Xbox)

4. Confirm Channel Setup

Gameplainer will suggest creating monitoring channels for:
- Microsoft Store / Xbox reviews
- YouTube (gameplay videos and comments)
- Twitter/X (mentions and discussions)
- Reddit (community discussions)

You can customize which channels to create or accept the defaults. Click "Next >" to finalize.
