Configuration Outputs
Latitude
The latitude of the user's location.
| Type | Variable Name |
|---|---|
| Text | latitude |
The latitude output is of the variable type Text. This is by design as the Flow framework rounds decimal numbers to 3 decimal places. Three decimal places is not accurate enough for location data. A Text value maintains the decimal precision required for accurate data. Use a Flow Formula Variable that wraps the latitude variable in VALUE() to convert it to a number when mapping the value to a record field for insert or update.
Longitude
The longitude of the user's location.
| Type | Variable Name |
|---|---|
| Text | longitude |
The longitude output is of the variable type Text. This is by design as the Flow framework rounds decimal numbers to 3 decimal places. Three decimal places is not accurate enough for location data. A Text value maintains the decimal precision required for accurate data. Use a Flow Formula Variable that wraps the longitude variable in VALUE() to convert it to a number when mapping the value to a record field for insert or update.
