# Request a contact's location

> Ask contacts to share their location on WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, and Messenger, then use latitude and longitude in flows.

Use a location request when you need delivery address context, nearby-store logic, or field-service routing.

## Supported channels

* WhatsApp
* Telegram
* Viber
* Messenger (where location sharing is available)

## Request location in a flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your flow">
    In Flow Builder, add a block that requests the user's location / get user data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask the contact to share">
    Send the location request. The contact confirms sharing from their chat app.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Store the result">
    Save the returned geo data in the custom field configured on the block.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## System fields

After a contact shares location, you can use:

| Field                     | Meaning                                   |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Custom field on the block | Full location payload from the request    |
| `{{last_latitude}}`       | Latitude from the latest shared location  |
| `{{last_longitude}}`      | Longitude from the latest shared location |

## Build a map URL

You can compose a maps link with the last coordinates, for example:

```text theme={null}
https://www.google.com/maps?q={{last_latitude}},{{last_longitude}}
```
