## Why Connect Google Maps Scraping to No-Code Tools?

You do not need to be a software engineer to build powerful lead generation systems. With visual automation platforms like **Make.com** and **n8n**, growth marketers, sales operations leads, and agency founders can connect the Bolt Scraper API directly to their existing toolstack:

- **On-Demand Triggers**: Add a new target industry or city into Airtable or Notion to instantly trigger a scrape in Bolt Scraper.
- **Zero-Touch Webhooks**: Receive an instant callback the moment search extraction finishes, complete with extracted emails and social links.
- **Auto-Enroll in Outreach**: Filter prospects by rating or review count and push new business contacts straight into cold email campaigns.

## The 2-Scenario No-Code Architecture

A robust no-code scraping automation is built with two interconnected workflows:

1. **Scenario A: The Job Trigger**: Monitors a form or database table. Sends an HTTP POST request to `https://boltscraper.com/api/v1/maps/jobs` with the desired keywords and passes the Webhook URL from Scenario B.
2. **Bolt Scraper Cloud Engine**: Crawls Google Maps in the cloud, visits linked websites to discover emails and social channels, and automatically deduplicates all results by `place_id`.
3. **Scenario B: The Webhook Receiver & Lead Syncer**: Catches the `gmap_job.completed` payload, iterates through the business records, and creates rows in Airtable, Google Sheets, or CRM contacts.

## How to Set Up in Make.com

### Step 1: Create Scenario B (Custom Webhook Receiver)
1. In Make.com, create a new scenario and select the **Custom Webhook** module as the trigger.
2. Click *Add*, name it `Bolt Scraper Completed Webhook`, and copy the generated Webhook URL (e.g., `https://hook.eu1.make.com/abc123xyz`).

### Step 2: Create Scenario A (HTTP Request Module)
1. Add an **HTTP - Make a request** module.
2. Set **URL** to: `https://boltscraper.com/api/v1/maps/jobs`
3. Set **Method** to: `POST`
4. Under **Headers**, add:
   - `Authorization`: `Bearer bs_YOUR_API_KEY`
   - `Content-Type`: `application/json`
5. Set **Body type** to *Raw (application/json)* with content:

```json
{
  "keywords": ["Solar contractors in Phoenix, AZ", "Solar contractors in Tucson, AZ"],
  "scrape_websites": true,
  "ultra_mode": true,
  "webhook_url": "https://hook.eu1.make.com/your-scenario-b-webhook"
}
```

> **Note**: Bolt Scraper automatically bypasses Google Maps' 120-lead limit even in standard mode. Setting `"ultra_mode": true` enables deep extraction to retrieve up to 3x more leads in dense metropolitan markets.

### Step 3: Parse Leads and Sync to Airtable or Google Sheets
When Bolt Scraper finishes, it sends the `gmap_job.completed` payload containing an array of `leads` and a signed `download_csv_url`.

In Make.com, add an **Iterator** module mapping over `leads[]`, followed by an **Airtable - Create a Record** module. Map the following fields directly:
- `title` → Company Name
- `phone` → Phone Number
- `website` → Website URL
- `email` → Discovered Contact Email
- `address` → Physical Address
- `rating` → Google Review Rating
- `place_id` → Google Place ID (use for primary record matching)

## How to Set Up in n8n (Self-Hosted or Cloud)

For privacy-conscious teams using open-source automation, **n8n** offers an unbeatable workflow canvas:

```
// 1. Webhook Node: Catch Bolt Scraper callback
[Webhook: POST /bolt-scraper-callback]
       ↓
// 2. IF Node: Validate event
[IF: $json.headers["x-bolt-event"] === "gmap_job.completed"]
       ↓
// 3. HTTP Request Node / Item Lists: Process inline leads
[Item Lists / Split Out: $json.body.leads]
       ↓
// 4. Destination Node: Upsert into Postgres / Airtable / HubSpot
[Postgres / Airtable: Upsert where place_id matches]
```

### No Complex Deduplication Routers Needed
In many scraping workflows, you must build multi-step deduplication routers in n8n or Make.com to drop duplicate businesses. With Bolt Scraper, deduplication across your keywords happens automatically in the cloud via `place_id`, simplifying your no-code scenarios and conserving Make operations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need to keep my Make.com or n8n scenario waiting while the scrape runs?
No. The initial HTTP POST request triggers the job asynchronously and returns immediately with a `job_id`. Your Make scenario finishes right away (saving execution credits), and Scenario B triggers only when Bolt Scraper fires the webhook callback upon completion.

### Can I send thousands of leads into Airtable without hitting rate limits?
Yes. For large datasets (500+ records), use Make's CSV parser module to ingest the signed `download_csv_url` in batches, or use n8n's batching node to create up to 10 records per request in Airtable.

### Does Bolt Scraper automatically deduplicate businesses?
Yes. Bolt Scraper automatically removes duplicate business records in the cloud using Google's permanent `place_id` across all keywords in your job. You never have to build complex deduplication filters in your scenarios.
