Generate Silent Map Link | If enabled, this action won't generate any content but fill a variable with the full static map url. | ⛔ |
This action will display a native location content when supported by the current chat channel.
If the target chat platform does not support a location content, Google Maps Static API will be used instead by displaying a static image.
If location content is not supported by the channel and no Google Maps Static API configuration is supplied, this action will try to display a link button redirecting to Google Maps for the supplied location name and address.
