WhatsApp bot. Request location from each user who messages it

Make location sharing via WhatsApp a breeze.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a text message (whatsapp_cloud_api → webhook_message)
  • Request the user
  • Send a text message (whatsapp_cloud_api → post_message)

Trying to manually request and track location data from every WhatsApp user who contacts your business turns instant conversations into slow, repetitive tasks—which is a real headache when speed and real-time info matter for service, delivery, or security. If you miss a request or enter wrong details, it’s easy to lose valuable leads, create operational delays, or jeopardize customer trust. Wasted minutes here quickly add up to lost opportunities, wasted budget, and customers who turn elsewhere for faster help.

This Botize formula takes over by instantly reacting each time you get a new message on WhatsApp, automatically sending a personalized prompt asking for the user’s location. As soon as it’s provided, the automation confirms receipt with a friendly message and saves the coordinates—no need for manual follow-up, no back-and-forth. You stay responsive, organized, and ready to act right away, whether you’re managing deliveries, appointments, field staff, or safety checks. You get consistent, accurate info while keeping your hands free for the work that matters most.

You can tweak this automation to match your schedule, set filters, or personalize messages—so it fits your workflow like a glove. Follow the simple step-by-step in Botize, or jump straight to activating this formula and see how easy it is to scale up your WhatsApp operations with just a few clicks. Your team and your customers will thank you!
