Google Maps Triggers & Actions

You can modify the node logic, connect additional tools or database nodes, or generate your own custom nodes using AI if an integration isn’t available.

Calculate Distance

Calculate the distance between two addresses using Google's Directions API. **To use this node you must first enable the [Directions API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/directions-backend.googleapis.com?project=_)**

Quick start

How to connect Google Maps to your workflow

Step 1 — Add the Google Maps node

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

Step 2 — Configure the node

Authenticate (or add your API key) and fill in the required parameters.

Step 3 — Build your flow logic

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.
