Google Business Q&A API

[Kater]

Hi Pabbly Support Team,

I'm trying to use the app: "Google Business Profile" with the Action Event "Custom API Request (Beta)" to POST questions to our Google Business Profile locations using the Q&A API.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

Endpoint:

https://mybusinessqanda.googleapis.com/v1/locations/LOCATION_NUMBER/questions

Payload:
{"question":{"text":"QUESTION_TEXT"}}

However, I’m receiving the following error:

403
My Business Q&A API has not been used in project 244224021315 before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.c....googleapis.com/overview?project=244224021315 then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

Is this something you can enable on your end or plan to support in the near future?

Thanks,

Kater

Hi @Kater,

Could you please share the cURL command and the API documentation of the endpoint you're attempting to execute? Also, please share the Workflow URL where you have tried this.

I’m using your UI-based Custom API Request (Beta) feature for Google Business Profile, so I don’t have a curl command directly, but I suppose it would be something like:

'https://mybusinessqanda.googleapis.com/v1/locations/LOCATION_ID/questions' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer [OAuth Token – handled by your platform]' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"question": {
"text": "Do you offer free consultations?"
}
}'

API documentation: https://developers.google.com/my-business/reference/qanda/rest?hl=en

But again, I’m not sending this manually — your platform is executing it, and the error suggests the Q&A API isn’t enabled on your project (ID: 244224021315).
