If someone sends you a live location, can we use node red to locate WhatsApp location to node track it?

raweee commented 1 year ago

Yes location can be recieved using Chats-In Node at msg.message.locationMessage.degreesLatitude and msg.message.locationMessage.degreesLongitude these geo values can further use to determine the location.

hello, thanks for the reply, when I send a live location and check the msg.message contents there is no variable called locationMessage.degreeLatitude. there is however a body with the image of the live location showing where I am but no exact coordinates, is there a way to get some help with this.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi @treshanappuhamy, Which client you are using inwhatsapp-link node. What I told you above is the output of whatsapp-line client. You may explore msg.message to get all the information received in WhatsApp message

I think the live location payload sent is onetime cause even though i share a live location it shows as a static location. it doesn't update when the client whatsappp user moves. Any Advice for this?
