WhatsApp Location

At a glance

A community member self-hosted Typebot and connected it to WhatsApp, but is having trouble getting the user's location from WhatsApp. According to the Typebot documentation, there is a way to do this, but the community member suspects WhatsApp may have updated and this functionality is no longer available. The community member's location flow stopped working when they tried to send their location.

In the comments, another community member mentions that there is an answer to this issue in a Discord channel, but does not provide the link. Another community member asks for help with the connection process to WhatsApp, and describes issues they are having, such as the number in the WhatsApp Manager being shown as pending and the on-premise API being shut down.

Hey guys, I self-hosted typebot and connected to whatsapp, I am trying to take the user location from whatsapp, however, it's not working.

According to this page: https://docs.typebot.io/deploy/whatsapp/overview there is a way to do it, but maybe the whats app did just updated and this function is not available anymore. How can I fix this?

By the way, when I sent my location the flow stopped.

Hey, could you maybe help me with the connection process to WhatsApp?
SSGA
When I connect it in the share section of the bot, it doesent give any errors.

However, the number in WhatsApp Manager is shown as pending, saying that the client needs to connect.

I have done the number verification, and the business name is accepted.

It gives me a download option for a certificate file, however, the on-premise API has been shut down.
