n8n Instructions New

The Localith n8n community node lets you connect your Localith account to n8n workflows so you can automate reviews, listings, and performance reporting across your Google Business Profiles.

If you need the broader feature overview, API access context, or rollout guidance first, start with our Google Business Profile API tool page.

Overview

With this node you can fetch reviews, list and update listings, retrieve performance metrics, and build workflows that connect Localith to Slack, Google Sheets, Airtable, email, and any other n8n-compatible service.

Before you start

Before you install the node, make sure you have:

• access to your Localith account
• permission to create or manage API keys
• an n8n workspace running version 0.187 or later
• at least one Localith-connected Google Business Profile account if you want to test live operations

Install the Localith n8n node

The Localith node is available as a community node inside n8n. You can find and install it directly from the n8n node search.

• Open your n8n instance and go to Settings > Community Nodes.
• Search for Localith in the node search.
• Click Install and wait for the node to be added to your workspace.

Note: Community nodes require n8n version 0.187 or later. If you are running an older version, update n8n first.

Set up your API credentials

To authenticate the Localith node, you need an API key from your Localith dashboard. Once created, the credentials are reusable across all your n8n workflows.

• Log in to your Localith dashboard and navigate to Account > API Access.
• Click Generate API Key and copy the key.
• In n8n, open the Localith node credentials panel and paste your API key.
• Save the credentials. You can now use them in any workflow that includes the Localith node.

How it works

The Localith n8n node acts as a bridge between your Localith account and any workflow you build in n8n.

In practice, that means you can:

• pull operational data out of Localith into reporting or notification workflows
• trigger follow-up actions when new reviews or listing changes appear
• use Localith as the Google Business Profile data layer inside larger automations

The exact workflow logic still lives in n8n. Localith provides the account access, resource operations, and authenticated data connection.

Available operations

The Localith n8n node supports 7 operations organized into three resource categories.

• Reviews — Fetch your reviews data from connected listings. Use this to route new reviews to Slack, sync them to a spreadsheet, or trigger AI-powered response workflows.
• Listings — Get all connected Google Business Profile locations, retrieve details for a specific location, or update listing information like hours, descriptions, and attributes.
• Metrics — Fetch performance data including impressions, clicks, calls, and direction requests per location. Retrieve item-level metrics for individual posts or products.

Step-by-step setup flow

Use this sequence for a clean first setup:

1. Install the Localith community node in n8n.
2. Generate an API key from your Localith account.
3. Add the Localith credentials inside n8n.
4. Start with one read-only workflow such as fetching reviews or metrics.
5. Test the output and confirm the data structure before you add downstream actions.
6. Expand into notification, reporting, or update workflows once the connection is stable.

Example workflows

• Slack notifications for new reviews — Trigger a workflow when a new review arrives and post it to a Slack channel so the right person sees it immediately.
• Automatic sync to Google Sheets or Airtable — Pull review data or listing metrics into a spreadsheet on a recurring schedule for reporting or analysis.
• Weekly performance report via email — Aggregate location metrics and send a formatted summary to stakeholders every Monday morning.
• AI-powered review response generation — Fetch new reviews, pass them to an AI model for draft responses, then queue the drafts for human approval before publishing.
• Multi-location management through single workflows — Build one workflow that updates hours, pushes listing changes, or triggers alerts across all your locations without manual repetition.

Limits or edge cases

• Community-node availability depends on your n8n environment and version.
• API usage should follow your Localith account permissions and rate limits.
• If you plan to write changes back to listings, test first on a limited set of locations.
• Some workflows may require additional branching, approval logic, or validation inside n8n before you use them in production.
