💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.

Description

Analyze and Sync Google Maps Reviews to Pinecone

> Note: This template requires an Apify account, an OpenAI account, and a Pinecone database.

Overview

This workflow automates your reputation management by scraping Google Maps reviews, analyzing their sentiment using AI, and storing them in a Vector Database (Pinecone). It also includes a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) agent that allows you to chat with your review data via Telegram to ask specific questions about customer feedback.

How it works

• Scrape: At a scheduled time (or manually), the workflow triggers an Apify actor to scrape the latest reviews from a specific Google Maps URL.
• Analyze: It uses GPT-4o to analyze the sentiment of the reviews and generates a summary of complaints and praises.
• Notify: A Telegram message is sent with the sentiment score and a summary of the latest reviews.
• Store: The review data is embedded and upserted into a Pinecone Vector Store.
• Chat (RAG): You can send messages to a Telegram bot to query the database (e.g., “What are people saying about our coffee?”). The AI retrieves relevant reviews from Pinecone to answer your question.
• Cleanup: A weekly schedule cleans up the namespace to ensure data freshness (optional).
