What it does
Who is this for? This workflow is perfect for lead generation experts, digital marketers, SEO professionals, and virtual assistants who need to quickly collect local business information based on specific search terms without manually navigating Google Places. --- What problem is this workflow solving? Manually searching Google Places for business leads is time-consuming and inconsistent. This workflow automates the entire process using Dumpling AI’s Google Places search endpoint, helping users collect accurate and structured business data and log it into a Google Sheet automatically. --- What this workflow does This workflow runs daily at 1 PM. It starts by reading a list of business-related search terms from a Google Sheet (for example, “dentists in Dallas”). Each term is sent to Dumpling AI’s search-places endpoint, which returns local business listings from Google Places. The data is split, structured, and logged row-by-row in a connected Google Sheet. --- Nodes Overview 1. Run Every Day at 1 PM A scheduled trigger that executes the workflow daily. 2.
