Automation Workflows (n8n, Make, Zapier)
Automation Workflows
n8n (Most Flexible)
- Official Outscraper node available
- Templates: Google Maps scraper, lead gen with Google Sheets export, email scraping
- conor-is-my-name/google-maps-scraper: Docker-based, designed for n8n + Postgres. Multi-container, IP rotation, 1 req/min/IP = ~144K/day
- Gemini AI + n8n pipeline: Use Google AI Studio to vibe-code scraping, pipe via webhook to Sheets
- Example pipeline: Apify scrape + Anymail Finder emails + Airtable storage
- Also works with official Google Maps API via HTTP Request node
Make.com
Scrap.io integration (200M businesses). Visual workflow builder, 3,000+ connectors. Automated lead gen tutorials available.
Zapier
Outscraper integration available. Simpler but less flexible than Make.com.
Clay
Data enrichment platform. Pull basic Maps data then enrich with Clearbit/Dropcontact. Filter by review count/recency for active businesses.
Google Sheets & Apps Script
- Apps Script Maps Service: built-in geocoding/reverse-geocoding without API keys. Cannot do Places search
- IMPORTFROMWEB add-on: handles dynamic JS pages in Sheets (IMPORTXML fails on Maps)
- Full cold outreach pipeline (Apps Script v3.0): AI email writing, website discovery, CEO identification, Firecrawl scraping, email enrichment, dedup — all in one sheet
