  • 1.  Whatsapp Request Location

    Hi guys,

    When using a digital bot for a whatsapp integration we do not have the chance to send a button to the customer to share their location.

    Do you know any trick or alternative to achieve this? Or if it will be available in a near future?

    Many thanks

    Hello Jorge, 

    It might be possible with canned responses that use templates. You would have to make a template that has the button built in to achieve this. Another place to ask that might prove fruitful is the Developer forums

    Cheers,

    Hello Cameron,

    I know Jorge's problem because I also have and the problem is that it's not possible to send message of type location with a template message. Location messages (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/conversation-types/) are particular messages with a button that when clicked open directly whatsapp popup to share location and as for my searches it's not possible to send this type of messages from Genesys. 

    Regards,

    Hello Antonio, 

    Thank you for the information! @Jorge Baptista this would then be an enhancement request to get some eyes on this feature and get it developed. This can be done here

    Thank you again Antonio!

    P.S. Welcome to the Genesys Community!
