Official records check from Google Sheets to a 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 Google Sheets, InstaMaps does the location work, and the results land in a Google Drive file.

The prompt

Using the rows in this Google Sheet: <link to your sheet>, 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.

Set it up

Official records check in Claude

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.

  1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose "Add custom connector".
  2. Name it InstaMaps and paste https://get-instamaps.com/mcp. Click Add.
  3. Click Connect and continue with Google. You land back in Claude, ready to ask.
  4. Add the Google Drive, Gmail or Google Calendar connector from the same Connectors page when the chain uses them.
  5. Paste the prompt above.

Before you start

Reading Google Sheets

Share the sheet with InstaMaps, or set it to "anyone with the link can view". InstaMaps reads it straight from Google, so a sheet of thousands of rows is one call, and nothing passes through the chat.

Writing to a Google Drive file

Your 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.
