What problem is this workflow solving?

Finding leads and initiating outreach calls can be time-consuming. This workflow automates the process: it scrapes business listings from Google Maps using Dumpling AI, extracts phone numbers, filters out incomplete data, formats the numbers, and uses Vapi to make outbound AI-powered calls. Every call is logged in Google Sheets for follow-up and tracking.

What this workflow does

1. Starts manually and pulls search queries (e.g., "plumbers in Austin") from Google Sheets. 2. Sends each query to Dumpling AI’s Google Maps scraping endpoint. 3. Splits the returned business data into individual leads. 4. Extracts key info like business name, website, and phone number. 5. Filters to only keep leads with valid phone numbers. 6. Formats phone numbers for Vapi dialing (adds +1). 7. Calls each business using Vapi AI. 8. Logs each successful call in a Google Sheet.
