Hello! I have been working in Bubble.io for a couple of weeks now. One of the main features of the app I am building is mapping. I have designed it to use both Google Maps and What3Words as many locations do not have a specific street address. For instance, a person can drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, but they will have to search for a specific viewpoint. What3Words provides a 10’x10’ area for the location, person, point of interest, etc. This is crucial for the App. Pinpoint locating.
Both What3Words and Google Maps have both been installed and interfaced correctly. But, somewhere in the connection there is an issue. I have worked with Bubble and Grok to figure out the problem, but to no avail. HERE IS MY QUESTION: Is the built-in AI through Bubble able to assess the problem and either fix it, or offer steps to fix it? Or will it only cause more problems?
Thank you and I appreciate your insight and recommendations. (PS - I’m sure you can tell, but I am a full-on rookie.) KB
I’d use Bubble AI as another tool, but I wouldn’t expect it to solve an api integration issue on its own. It’s decent for explaining concepts or pointing out obvious mistakes, but debugging integrations still usually comes down to checking the api responses and the workflow step by step.
If both apis are connected successfully, that’s a good sign. The next step is figuring out exactly where the flow is breaking. Is google maps not receiving the what3words coordinates, or is the what3words lookup itself returning something unexpected?
If you can share a few screenshots of the workflow or the api calls, I’m happy to take a look. Those kinds of issues are usually much easier to track down once you can see where the data stops flowing.
Thank you, first of all, for the quick response. I sincerely appreciate your assistance.
Yes, I have confirmed that both are connected successfully. I am unsure (clearly) where the break in communication is. The Map loads correctly. It currently has search bars for both W3W and GM while I try to figure this out. I have a sneaking suspicion that it may go back to a problem that still lingers with the Marker Address. The Map finds my location automatically just fine and places a marker, but I am not allowed to search for any other address(es), regardless of the chosen format. The other problem may be the Workflow. One thing I am unsure of is whether the Workflow runs in order of event, or if they all happen simultaneously. My guess is: in order. My problem: I don’t know what order they should be in!
