Overview

How it works

This workflow automatically scrapes business leads from Google Maps on a daily schedule and ensures only high-quality, unique leads are processed. New businesses are cleaned, validated, and deduplicated against an existing Google Sheets database before enrichment begins. Verified emails are enriched using domain-based lookup and classified by confidence. Finally, the workflow sends a detailed email report and stores all enriched leads in Google Sheets for ongoing tracking.
