Use for: Subscribe new review events to my Cloud Pub/Sub topic, Stop sending new question notifications to the old topic, Get the current notification configuration for the account, Switch the Pub/Sub topic to a new project

Not supported: Does not deliver event payloads, send emails, or push mobile notifications — use only to configure which Business Profile events publish to a Cloud Pub/Sub topic.

The My Business Notifications API configures Pub/Sub-based notification settings for Google Business Profile accounts. It exposes a single notificationSetting resource per account that controls which Business Profile events (new reviews, questions, status changes) are pushed to a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. Pair it with the Q&A and v4 reviews endpoints to build event-driven Business Profile workflows instead of polling.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use My Business Notifications API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Event-Driven Review Reply

Instead of polling every location for new reviews, teams subscribe to Business Profile review events on a Pub/Sub topic. When a new review arrives, a worker picks up the event and triggers reply automation against the v4 reviews endpoint, cutting average response time without burning quota on polling.

PATCH /v1/{name} with pubsubTopic set to projects/{project}/topics/{topic} and notificationTypes including NEW_REVIEW, then verify with a GET.

Real-Time Q&A Monitoring

Customer questions on Business Profile listings need quick answers. Subscribing the account's notification setting to NEW_QUESTION and NEW_ANSWER events on a Pub/Sub topic streams every question into a queue, enabling support to triage and reply through the My Business Q&A API within minutes.

PATCH /v1/{name} with notificationTypes set to NEW_QUESTION, NEW_ANSWER and the support-team Pub/Sub topic, then confirm via GET.

Environment Migration

When teams move Pub/Sub from one Google Cloud project to another, the Business Profile notification setting must be repointed without dropping events. Update the notificationSetting's pubsubTopic to the new fully qualified topic and Google starts publishing to the new project with no other changes required.

PATCH /v1/{name} with pubsubTopic set to the new project topic and updateMask=pubsubTopic, then verify message delivery in the new project.

AI Agent Listing Watcher

An AI agent connected through Jentic owns a Business Profile inbox: every new review, question, or listing change lands in a Pub/Sub topic, the agent enriches the event, and routes it to the right responder. Jentic isolates the OAuth credentials so the agent never sees Google client secrets while still being able to reconfigure the notification setting on demand.

Search Jentic for 'configure Google Business Pub/Sub notifications', load accounts.notificationSetting.update, and execute with the desired notificationTypes and pubsubTopic.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

OAuth 2.0 refresh tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. The agent receives scoped, short-lived access tokens — Google client secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'subscribe to Google Business review events') and Jentic returns the matching Notifications operation with its input schema.

Time to first call

Direct integration: 1-2 days for OAuth, Pub/Sub IAM, and topic plumbing. Through Jentic: under an hour for the API call — Pub/Sub topic creation still required separately.

FAQs

Specific to using My Business Notifications API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the My Business Notifications API use?

OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage scope. The user must be an admin on the target Business Profile account and the service account behind the Pub/Sub topic must grant publish rights to mybusiness-api-pubsub@system.gserviceaccount.com. Jentic stores OAuth tokens in MAXsystem.

Which event types can I subscribe to?

The notificationSetting accepts notificationTypes such as NEW_REVIEW, UPDATED_REVIEW, NEW_QUESTION, NEW_ANSWER, and GOOGLE_UPDATE. Pick the subset relevant to your workflow to avoid noisy event traffic.

What are the rate limits for the My Business Notifications API?

Default quota is 0 QPM until Business Profile API access is approved. Once approved, the API itself is rarely rate-limited because the resource is read or patched infrequently; the bottleneck is downstream consumption of the Pub/Sub topic.

How do I switch the Pub/Sub topic through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'change Google Business notification topic', load accounts.notificationSetting.update, and execute it with the new pubsubTopic and updateMask=pubsubTopic. Jentic handles OAuth refresh in the background.

Does this API deliver the actual review or question content?

Notifications carry the resource name and event type, not the full payload. After receiving an event, fetch the resource via the v4 Google My Business reviews endpoint or the My Business Q&A API to retrieve the body.
