Generate Building Permit Leads in n8n with Apify Actor

Generate Building Permit Leads in n8n with the Apify “building-permits-leads” Actor

Automatically pull recent building permit records for your target cities every day in n8n—tag each lead with its data source, then send the results to the destination you choose (CRM, Slack, Google Sheets, and more).

What this workflow does

• Runs on a schedule or manually: By default, it runs daily at 07:00, with a manual trigger available for testing.
• Calls the Apify building-permits-leads actor: The workflow sends a POST request to the Apify API to execute transparent_meteorite/building-permits-leads synchronously and retrieve dataset items as JSON.
• Filters to recent, relevant records: You configure filters such as cities, recordTypes, sinceDays, maxItems, and monitorMode to control what gets pulled.
• Tags each item with its origin: The workflow adds a _source field to every returned record so you can track where the data came from.
• Sends results to a placeholder destination: It passes the tagged items to a destination step you replace with your own app or integration.

Use cases

• Keep your lead pipeline warm by ingesting new building permit activity into your CRM daily.
• Route fresh permit leads to Slack for rapid outreach and internal alerts.
• Write new records to Google Sheets or an Airtable-style workflow for tracking and review.
