Check lat long (geolocation) of another app user

edmund_chan · 08-08-2020 11:51 PM

With covid and increase need for home deliveries, I have a created two apps - one app for seller to post delivery needs, and another app to accept delivery jobs and update delivery status. The part about the driver updating delivery status from “on the way” to “delivered” is clear, but the seller also wants to see the geolocation(lat/long) of the driver when the seller wants to check. I can imagine an action to open the app of the driver and then checking the location of the driver, but I am not sure exactly how to do it. Any ideas from the community to do this, or a better way to achieve this feature is much appreciated

There is no way to get or provide real-time location with AppSheet.

Is it possible for the app to check and report the location automatically based on a set time interval, so it could check the location every 15 minutes and log the location and also check any rules?

I am trying to have a timeclock app that will automatically log workers hours against the job they are assigned to. Ideally it would confirm that they are at the correct location and log that time against their task. When they goto another location it would then begin logging their hours for their task at that assigned job. If they are in a location that does not match their assigned job locations, it would flag that time.

Not possible.
