Apify Building Permit Leads Daily n8n Workflow Automation

Get fresh building permit leads every day—automatically feed your CRM, Slack, or Google Sheets with Apify data

This n8n workflow runs daily to pull recent building permit records from city open-data portals via the Apify actor transparent_meteorite/building-permits-leads, enriches each item with its _source, and sends the results to a destination step you configure (e.g., Google Sheets, Slack, or a CRM).

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule: triggers every day at 07:00 (or you can start it manually for testing).
• Calls Apify synchronously: sends a POST request to Apify to execute the actor transparent_meteorite/building-permits-leads and returns dataset items as JSON.
• Applies your lead filters: uses configured request-body settings to control cities, record types, lookback window, max items, and monitor mode.
• Adds data provenance: attaches a _source field to every returned record so you can track where each lead came from.
• Routes to your destination: hands the enriched results to a placeholder destination step you replace with your preferred tool and field mapping.

Use cases

• Generate daily building permit leads for sales teams, property developers, or contractors by automatically loading leads into a CRM.
• Send alerts to Slack when new permit records appear for specific cities or record types.
• Maintain a continuously updated lead database in Google Sheets for outreach and tracking.
