The overall benefit is the ability to easily share addresses with customers, provide directions, or offer location-based services directly within the chat.

You have three options to select a location: "Choose your current location," "search for a location," or "click the marker to select the location" on a map.

Required Information

4. What are the key pieces of information I need to provide for a location bot?

To set up a location, you need to provide its Latitude, Longitude, a Name, and an Address.

The "Name" field is used to give a recognizable title to the location, such as "Our Main Office" or "Store #5."
