n8n Google reviews workflow with one HTTP Request node

Whether you run n8n self-hosted or in the cloud, one HTTP Request node is all it takes. Trigger from a webhook, a booking tool or a cron, post the customer to Loops, and the one-tap satisfaction email, classification and review invite happen without another node.

  • Postgres
    New row in appointments
  • Cron
    Every evening, yesterday's customers
  • Typeform
    Form submitted

Set up n8n Google reviews workflow step by step

One trigger node, one HTTP Request node. Copy the pieces below into your workflow.

  1. 1
    Add a trigger node

    Webhook, Shopify Trigger, Google Sheets Trigger, Cron. Anything that produces a customer name and email.

  2. 2
    Add an "HTTP Request" node

    Method POST, paste the URL.

    URL
    https://yourdomain.com/api/v1/enquiries
  3. 3
    Authenticate with a header credential

    Authentication: Generic Credential Type → Header Auth. Name: Authorization. Value as below. Keep the key out of the node itself.

    Header value
    Bearer lk_YOUR_API_KEY
  4. 4
    Send JSON

    Body Content Type: JSON. Specify Body: Using JSON. Use expressions from the previous node.

    JSON body
    {
  "name": "{{ $json.name }}",
  "email": "{{ $json.email }}",
  "ref": "{{ $json.id }}",
  "send_after_days": 1
}
  5. 5
    Execute, then activate

    The node output shows status 202 and "queued". Activate the workflow.

Every request needs an API key from the API section. Keys are per business; revoke and regenerate any time. Customers contacted in the last 30 days are skipped automatically.

Ask everyone the same way

Every customer gets the same one-tap email and the same thank-you with your review link.

Hear the unhappy ones first

A private feedback box goes straight to you, and they land on your board so you can call.

Hands-off after setup

Reminders, follow-ups, the monthly report and the Google rating snapshot run on their own.

Questions about n8n and Loops

Where do I put the API key in n8n?+

In a Header Auth credential (Generic Credential Type). Name: Authorization, value: Bearer and your key. The node references the credential, so the key never sits in the workflow JSON.

Can I batch customers from a database query?+

Yes. Feed the rows into a Code or Aggregate node to build a "customers" array, then post it in one request. Up to 500 per call.

Can I delay the email?+

Set "send_after_days" in the JSON body and Loops holds the enquiry until then. No Wait node needed, and you can stop it from the board.

Does this follow Google's review policies?+

Yes. Every customer is invited the same way, nothing is offered in exchange, and unhappy customers get a private feedback channel alongside the same review link.
