Location

The bot sends a place on the map. The person taps the map thumbnail and opens the place in their maps to get directions.

The "Location" step in the editor

How to set it up

  • Find a place in the search field on the map, or just click the map. The pin can be dragged. The found place's title and the address fill themselves in.
  • Or in the "⋮" menu next to the "Point" field pick "Point from a variable". The variable can hold the text "50.45, 30.52", the list [50.45, 30.52] or an object with lat and lng (or latitude and longitude). The bot reads it at send time.
  • The title and the address show under the map. Without a title or an address the bot sends only the point.

If the variable holds no coordinates, the bot sends nothing and goes on to the next step.

A location carries no buttons — add them with a following message step.
