Question

Location automation between Google Forms and Monday.com

We are collecting lead info via Google Forms which includes a Site Address, which is actually the ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT part to getting workers to the right place using the Dashboard we created in Monday.com. However, we can not create a workflow for the “Location” field. Basically, we tried many things to parse the Site Address, City, State, Zip Code so that it auto-populate the “Location” field, ultimately, integrating the Map in Monday.com Dashboard to Site Addresses in our main table that's imported and integrated using Zapier and Google Forms.

 

Is there an app in Monday.com that has this feature  or something related?

 

Things tried:

Zapier automation

Google App Scripts using Javascript

Monday.com workflow center/Custom

 

Column we have:

Site Addres | City | State | Zip Code | Location??

Hi @Blower Door 

Good question.

Per the Monday API: https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/location

The location column stores a location with longitude and latitude precision (but displayed with text).

Hey @Blower Door!

To add to what Troy said, if you’re looking to get an address into latitude and longitude, you could look into something like the OpenWeather API: https://openweathermap.org/api/geocoding-api

There are other options out there, but what I like about this one is that you get 1,000 API calls per day for free.

Just thought I’d mention that here in case you’re looking to “convert” the address you’re gathering into something Monday can use :)
