Official records check in Google Drive file
For UK addresses: the food hygiene rating, CQC rating, or the nearest A&E and the NHS trust running it. Ask your AI in plain English: it reads a Google Drive file, InstaMaps does the location work, and the results land in a Google Drive file.

GeminiThe prompt
Using the rows in this CSV or Excel file in my Google Drive: <link to the file>, add the food hygiene rating of the business at each address, and save the results to my Google Drive as a CSV file called "Official records".
Replace the parts in <angle brackets>.What comes back
- The official record at each address, with its rating and date
- Or the nearest registered place, such as an A&E
- Anything that can't be placed or answered comes back with the reason. Nothing is dropped.

Every plan, including Free. On Free, InstaMaps uses your one custom connector; Google Drive, Gmail and Google Calendar are directory connectors and don't count against it.
- In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose "Add custom connector".
- Name it InstaMaps and paste https://get-instamaps.com/mcp. Click Add.
- Click Connect and continue with Google. You land back in Claude, ready to ask.
- Add the Google Drive, Gmail or Google Calendar connector from the same Connectors page when the chain uses them.
- Paste the prompt above.
Before you start
Reading a Google Drive fileShare the file with InstaMaps, or set it to "anyone with the link can view". InstaMaps reads it straight from Drive.
Writing to a Google Drive fileYour AI tool's Google Drive connector saves the file.
Good to know
- UK registers (CQC, NHS, Food Standards Agency). Not available for US addresses.
- The connector is free: 5,000 tool calls a day per person, and a whole sheet read by link counts as one call.
