Google Geocoding API

I have a use case where the user needs to send the location to the bot using Workplace/Facebook Messenger. I have already tested sending the Pinned Location from Messenger to Kore.ai, and I can get the user coordinates with the Entity Type Location. But while I was testing other platforms, one of them has a Location Entity Type that is using the Google Geocoding API service to interpret the user input and get the correct address and the user coordinates.

Has Kore.ai something that does the same?

Hi @ruben.costa,

We will surely help you with understanding the working process of the Location entity type in Kore.
However, we would like to know the requirement behind this query.

Hi @yogaramya.mendu,

Thanks for the answer.

I think that I understood the Location Entity type, but you can give me detail of course.

About my query, Imagine that I ask to a user to tell me the Shopping Name where he is visiting. After user insert the name of the Shopping , we, with Google API, can get more info about the Shopping center, like the correct address or ever the coordinates of the shopping. And is for this, that I’ve questioned about the integration with Google API.

Hi @ruben.costa,

Thank you for the explanation.
The Location entity uses the Google API internally.

Let us know if you need any further information.
