Quick overview
This workflow checks for new Google Business Profile reviews hourly, uses OpenRouter to classify sentiment and draft on-brand public replies, logs reviews and drafts to Google Sheets, and emails the business owner for approval via Gmail, with optional auto-posting and error logging.
How it works
- Runs every hour on a schedule.
- Loads your business settings and reads previously logged review IDs from a Google Sheets “Reviews” tab to avoid duplicates.
- Calls the Google Business Profile (My Business) API to fetch the latest reviews for the configured account and location.
- Filters to only reviews that are not yet logged and do not already have an owner reply.
- Sends each new review to OpenRouter to generate JSON containing sentiment, urgency, a short summary, and a suggested public reply, then validates/parses the output with a safe fallback reply.
- Appends the review details and drafted reply to the Google Sheets “Reviews” tab and emails the draft to the owner via Gmail, flagging 3-stars-or-lower reviews as urgent.
- If auto-posting is enabled, publishes the drafted reply back to the review through the Google Business Profile API, and on any HTTP/Gmail/posting failure logs the error to the Google Sheets “Errors” tab and emails the owner.
Setup
- Create a Google Sheet with two tabs named “Reviews” and “Errors” and add the required headers (e.g. Reviews: Review ID, Date, Reviewer, Rating, Comment, Sentiment, Urgency, Draft Reply, Status; Errors: Timestamp, Node, Error, Execution ID).
- Add a Google OAuth2 credential with the
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage scope (used to read reviews and optionally post replies).
- Add Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials for the spreadsheet and Gmail OAuth2 credentials for sending approval and error emails.
- Add an OpenRouter API credential and select the model in the OpenRouter chat model node.
- Fill in the Workflow Settings values (business name, owner email, account ID, location ID, sheet ID, brand voice) and only set
autoPostReplies to true after you trust the generated drafts.
