Who is this for?

  • Marketers, lead generation agencies, freelancers, consultants, and sales teams who need to collect business leads from Google Maps.
  • Small business owners looking to build targeted local business lists.
  • Anyone interested in automating web scraping without coding skills.
    What problem is this workflow solving?

Manually scraping business data from Google Maps is time-consuming and repetitive. This automation simplifies the process by:

  • Collecting business details based on search terms and location.
  • Filtering out irrelevant results.
  • Delivering qualified leads directly to your inbox.
    What this workflow does

This workflow automates Google Maps lead scraping using APIFY and sends the gathered leads via email. The steps include:

  • Collecting user input through a simple form (business type, location, recipient email).
  • Sending an HTTP request to APIFY to run a Google Maps scraper (actor).
  • Filtering results to include only businesses with email addresses.
  • Converting results to CSV format.
  • Sending an automated email with the leads as a CSV attachment via Gmail.
    Setup
  1. Create an APIFY Account:
  1. Get Your API Key:
  • Copy your API key from APIFY
  1. Prepare n8n:
  • Create a new workflow.
  • Add an HTTP Request node to interact with APIFY.
  • Configure authentication with your API key.
  1. Customize the Form:
  • Build a simple form inside n8n to collect user inputs: Business Type, City, Country, Recipient Email.
  1. Filter Results:
  • Use IF and Filter nodes to remove entries without email addresses.
  1. Convert to CSV:
  • Use a "Spreadsheet File" node to generate a CSV from the filtered leads.
  1. Send Email:

  • Use the Gmail node (or any email node) to send the CSV file to the provided recipient.
    How to customize this workflow to your needs

  • Change search parameters to target different business niches or locations.

  • Add filters to only include businesses with websites.

  • Customize the email subject and body.

  • Integrate with CRM or marketing platforms for direct lead injection.

  • Expand filtering logic for more refined targeting.
    Notes

  • This template uses APIFY (paid service after free credits).

  • You will need an APIFY API key and a Gmail account (or SMTP credentials) to run this automation.

  • For self-hosted n8n users: ensure you have internet access and proper credentials set up for external HTTP requests.
