Hi I want to make an automation from new google reviews on a business to send message to slack. Will this be possible without connecting to the owner of the business?
You will have to scrape the data using a web scraping tool like Apify. You can check for an apify actor that scrapes Google reviews.
Welcome to the Make community!
Without the owner granting access to the business,
You can also use certain APIs on Rapid API.
How to call an API on RapidAPI
Use the HTTP “Make an API Key Auth Request” module.
Create a new keychain connection and insert your RapidAPI API Key.
Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
API Key parameter name: X-RapidAPI-Key
You can reuse this RapidAPI keychain for all API calls to RapidAPI – you’ll just need to change the X-RapidAPI-Host value based on the API you are calling.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues. P.S.: investing some effort into the tutorials in the Make Academy will save you lots of time and frustration using Make!
