How to get user location from WhatsApp message in n8n?
Hi team,

I am using the WhatsApp Trigger in n8n.
When the user sends a normal text message in WhatsApp, I want to get the location of that WhatsApp number automatically.

But I see that WhatsApp only returns the text body, from, and timestamp — no location info.
I want to confirm:

  1. Is it possible in n8n to get the user’s location just from a WhatsApp text message?
  2. Or do we only get location when the user explicitly shares it ( Send Location in WhatsApp)?
  3. Any workaround to approximate location based on WhatsApp number (e.g., country/region)?

Thanks in advance

Hi there it is not possible to get the user location only from when they send text messages, the user needs to explicitly share their location with you by send location in whatsapp

the workaround that i would suggest is to identify their location by their phone number code

hope it helps!
