Can Flow deliver a set of results based on geo-location?

(Tori) #1

Hi, new to Flow.

Could someone outline how I might be able to do the following scenario? A user selects a type of service they want. The bot asks for their zip code, and then sends back the services that match their request that are nearest to them. I’d like to make sure I’m headed in the right direction before I start.
Your thoughts on how I best approach this is appreciated.

Hi @Tori_B

The user location isn’t shared by standard but you can implement a send location button through the Google Places API. There’s a Template for ‘Find Location’ that shows how this can be done. You can install this by adding a new flow and selecting from the templates list.

Thank you. Are there any examples of how to request a location via the Google Place API anywhere?

There’s one in the template for ‘Find a Location’ - have you tried installing that to take a look? :slight_smile:
