Backend Workflow calculation between two data types

Hi All,

I am trying to create a customer-vendor matchmaking app, in which I have two data types. The first is the Demand set, where the customer’s demand request is stored, including location and request type (food, grocery, vegetables). The second is the vendor data type, which includes location, type (food, grocery, vegetables), and status (Active/Inactive).

How can I create backend workflow where I can identify which vendors are within a 2KM radius of the demand point and, if active, can fulfill the customer’s demand.

So, the customer will get a list of vendors who can fulfill the demand, and the vendors will receive a notification of the demand point and can accept it if they wish.

Doesn’t have to be a backend workflow because what you’re looking for is just a data source you can put in a Repeating group or list:

Make sure you have your Google Maps API keys in your app settings because this uses that.

Vendor has a geographic address field (called location in my screenshot)
and User has the same thing (maybe yours would be the Demand location?)

You would add additional constraints if needed like if the Vendor’s supported types contains the Demand’s type.

Then they pick the Vendor from the repeating group and you continue the rest of the workflow like create an Order for the Vendor to see in a list and accept.
