Overview

This node operation sends a geographic location message in a chat session. It is useful for sharing precise locations such as meeting points, offices, or any place of interest within a chat conversation. For example, a user can send their current location or a landmark's coordinates to another user or group chat.

Use Case Examples

  1. Sending the office location to a client in a chat session.
  2. Sharing a meetup point's latitude and longitude with friends.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The chat session identifier to send the location message in.
Chat Id The identifier of the chat where the location will be sent.
Latitude The latitude coordinate of the location to send.
Longitude The longitude coordinate of the location to send.
Title A title or label for the location being sent.
Reply To Optional message ID to reply to within the chat.
Request Options Additional options for request handling such as batching, SSL validation, proxy, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • messageId - The unique identifier of the sent location message.
  • status - The status of the send operation, e.g., success or failure.
  • chatId - The chat identifier where the location was sent.
  • latitude - The latitude coordinate sent.
  • longitude - The longitude coordinate sent.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session and chatId are valid and active; invalid IDs will cause failures.

  • Timeouts may occur if the server is unresponsive; adjust timeout settings accordingly.
