Workflow name
Extract marketing insights from Google Reviews using Dumpling AI + GPT-4

📄 What this workflow does

This workflow helps you analyze Google reviews of any business to generate powerful marketing insights. By simply submitting a business name and its Google Place ID, it fetches the top 30 reviews and uses GPT-4 (via LangChain Agent) to extract valuable customer insights such as marketing angles, customer motivations, product pain points, and voice of customer (VOC) quotes. The output is stored automatically in a connected Google Sheet.


👤 Who is this for

  • Marketing teams looking for messaging inspiration
  • Founders or product managers exploring customer feedback
  • Brand strategists gathering real-world insights
  • Agencies running VOC or sentiment analysis

🛠️ Requirements

  • Dumpling AI API key
  • OpenAI GPT-4 or GPT-4o access
  • Google Sheets connection
  • A form or manual input with:
    • Business Name
    • Google Place ID

⚙️ How to set up

  1. Connect Credentials

    • Dumpling AI (via HTTP Header Auth)
    • OpenAI (GPT-4)
    • Google Sheets (OAuth2)
  2. Prepare your Google Sheet

    • Create columns:
      Business Name, Place ID, Marketing Angles, Customer Motivations,
      Frictions and Barriers, Product Opportunities, VOC Snippets
  3. Update Nodes

    • Replace the Google Sheets Document ID and Tab Name with yours
    • Check that the Dumpling API node is linked to your credential
    • Optional: tweak the prompt in the LangChain Agent node to fit your tone or goals

🤖 How it works (Workflow Steps)

  1. User submits business name + Google Place ID
  2. Dumpling AI fetches top 30 reviews
  3. Workflow aggregates review text
  4. GPT-4 via LangChain analyzes the reviews
  5. Insights are parsed and logged to Google Sheets

💡 Customization Ideas

  • Push output to Notion, Airtable, or Slack
  • Add sentiment scoring to prioritize themes
  • Create summaries for each insight category
  • Schedule insights to be emailed weekly

This is a plug-and-play VOC research workflow — great for founders, marketers, and product teams who want actionable data from real customers without doing manual review scraping or summarizing.
