Quick start

How to integrate BuildShip Workflows and Google Maps

Step 1 — Add the nodes to your workflow

Create a new workflow in BuildShip, click “Add node”, and select the BuildShip Workflows and Google Maps actions you want to use.

Step 2 — Configure each node

Go to each node to authenticate (or add your API key) and fill in the required parameters.

Step 3 — Connect the nodes

Each node in BuildShip can connect to others by using their output variables. When you reference a variable from one node in another, BuildShip automatically links them in the workflow.

Step 4 — Test your workflow

Define your starting data in the Inputs node and choose what to do with the result in the Flow Output node. Finally, run a test to see your workflow in action.
