Based on the zip code check, inform the user whether their address is within the service radius or not. If you require additional information or actions based on the user's location, guide them on the next steps.
Here's a simplified example of what the code for calling the Google Places API might look like in a custom action (note: this is a conceptual example and may require adjustments to fit your specific Botpress setup and Google API usage):
javascript
Copy code
async function callGooglePlacesAPI(userInput) {
const apiKey = 'YOUR_GOOGLE_PLACES_API_KEY';
const url = `https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=${encodeURIComponent(userInput)}&key=${apiKey}`;
// Use an HTTP client like axios to send the request
const response = await axios.get(url);
// Process the response to extract address suggestions
// Remember to handle errors and edge cases, such as no results or API errors
return response.data;
}
// Example function to check zip code prefix
function checkZipCodePrefix(zipCode, customerRadiusPrefix) {
return zipCode.startsWith(customerRadiusPrefix);
}
Remember, you'll need to handle API keys securely and manage API usage to stay within quota limits and avoid unnecessary costs. Also, ensure your bot's user interface provides a smooth experience for address input and selection.
