Distance Formula

One more question. Is there a way in SS to calculate the distance between an address that a client provides (comes in from FillOut Form) and our office address? I would like to use that number to calculate a delivery fee.

Hey Jeff Brawand, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- What format is the client's address provided in (e.g., full address, coordinates)?
- What is the office address that should be used for the distance calculation?
- Are there any specific distance calculation methods or APIs you prefer to use?

- Full address
- It's a full address
- Nope! Maybe just some sort of google maps mileage?

My request was merged here when really all I need is "Default Address" in address field, which might be easier to do? Maybe default address field as a stepping stone to fully integrating google maps api???
That being said, I'm very new to this but can show you my MAKE scenario if that helps you out Paolo!

Default Address for Address Field

Using Google Maps API for a "distance charge" calculator FROM starting address TO delivery address. Delivery address is usually one location and would like the field to auto fill with the default address until the rare occasion that I would calculate from a different address.

Hi Paolo, I came across this but didn't see any post in the Community about it, so I'll respond here. I know this isn't a feature in SmartSuite currently, but if you need something now you could always use Make.com. There's a Google Maps module that is capable of returning distance between locations given a table of locations, even if that table consists only of a single pair of locations.
