A form asks what you would type in Google Maps (one search per line, e.g. `dentist in Austin, TX`), the country and how many places you want.\n2. The Apify node runs the **Google Maps Email Extractor** Actor (`plainrows/google-maps-email-extractor`). It finds the places on Google Maps (name, category, address, phone, website, rating) and reads each place's website for the e-mails, phone links and Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn pages it publishes.\n3. A Code node keeps one clean row per place.\n4. Each place is appended as a row to your Google Sheet.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Apify account (free plan available) and its API token.\n- A Google Sheets account.\n- The Apify node is the verified community node `@apify/n8n-nodes-apify` (available on n8n Cloud; on self-hosted n8n install it from Settings > Community nodes).\n\n### How to customize\n- Add a Filter node to keep only rows with an `email`.\n- Replace Google Sheets with Airtable, HubSpot or your CRM.\n- Follow the anti-spam rules of your country (CAN-SPAM, GDPR) before e-mailing anyone.\n\nPricing: pay per place returned and per website where contacts were found, plus a small start fee per run; websites with nothing found are free.", "height": 760, "width": 520 }, "id": "57f77b22-06f6-53cb-a085-b94e32f85684", "name": "Description", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ -660, -340 ] }, { "parameters": { "content": "### Setup (5 min)\n1. **Apify**: create a free account at apify.com, then add your Apify credential to the *Run Google Maps Email Extractor* node.\n2. **Google Sheets**: connect your account, paste your spreadsheet URL in *Append leads to Google Sheets* and create a tab named `Leads` (headers are filled automatically).\n3.
