How to Get Started
Connect the tools you already use, such as Airtable or Kintone.
2 tools
- Save the business types and service-area list for the weekly review in the map extraction workspace; the lead edits this list before Monday's run.
- Set a Monday run time and time zone, the maximum places per area, and which visible listing fields should be checked for changes.
- Create a persistent directory and weekly report in the same workspace, with business place ID as the matching key and the first run as the baseline.
Use safe mode to approve every result before it goes out, or let the Agent run automatically.
