How to scale Watch Reviews for Google Business Profile across multiple locations?

[Pavel4]

’m running into a challenge with Google Business Profile automation in Make.
The goal: automatically process and reply to reviews across ~170 studio locations.

Here’s what I’ve discovered so far:

1. Watch Reviews in Make only supports a single accountId + locationId.

   • To cover 170 studios, I would need 170 modules or even separate scenarios.

   • That’s not practical.

2. Using Iterator doesn’t help, since Watch Reviews doesn’t return a list of all locations and cannot be combined with variables.

3. The only viable workaround is using HTTP with the Google Business Profile API in three steps:

   • GET /accounts

   • GET /accounts/{id}/locations

   • GET /locations/{id}/reviews
     Then process and reply to reviews.

4. But here’s the dead end:

   • In Make, HTTP cannot be placed as the first module (it can’t act as a trigger).

   • So the whole scenario can’t run automatically as a full monitoring flow.

My question to the community:

• Has anyone found a working solution to monitor all locations in one scenario?

• Are there any practical workarounds besides duplicating Watch Reviews for every location or triggering HTTP manually?

• Is there a way (via Webhook, Scheduler, or something else) to use HTTP effectively as the entry point?

I’d be really grateful for any advice, tips, or shared experience

Hi @Pavel4 and welcome to the Make Community!

Have you tried using the basic module as the starting point? You could, conceivably, start with a it and maybe even put a JSON in there with the 170 location IDs then have an iterator run for each. So it would look like this:
