Distance Calculation Ideas

Currently getting user gps location is not available.
What if user manually enters the location and we calculate the distance from a given anouther location.
I came across with Google Distance Matrix API.
Any ideas to do this?

We’re working on adding a Custom Actions feature that will allow you to make actions that call APIs and then use the results in subsequent actions. It should be perfect for that use case.

Hi Ben,

Is there any tutorials on how to use custom actions for this?

I want to create restaurant takeaway apps for my restaurants on Adalo rather than glide, but can’t get round the location distance filtering yet (I can use a google sheets script on glide).
