Big workflows update this week. Google Maps integration, a Template node, Google Docs improvements, and some quality-of-life stuff we think you'll appreciate.
Google Maps is now a workflow integration
Six node types, all available today:
- Geocode — Convert an address to lat/lng coordinates.
- Reverse Geocode — Coordinates back to a readable address.
- Distance & Travel Time — Travel time and distance between two points.
- Nearby Places — Businesses and places around a location.
- Place Details — Detailed info on a specific location.
- Timezone — The timezone for any lat/lng pair.
Route optimization, location-aware automations, enriching contact data before passing it downstream: it's all cleaner now. If you were hacking around this with a Script node and a raw API call, you can retire that. We built the cleaner version so you don't have to.
Google Docs improvements
You can now choose your content format when writing to a Doc: pass in markdown and it converts to native Google Doc formatting (headings, bold, lists) instead of landing as a wall of raw text. If you're generating documents at volume, that's a huge time saver.
Template node
We're way too excited about this one. Write a Handlebars-style template with {{variables}}, wire in your values, and it renders the output without touching a model. No tokens, no workarounds, no cursing at a prompt node you're using as a string formatter. Clean in, clean out.
Quality of life
Some nice little QoL improvements from yours truly:
- Duplicate workflows. Clone any workflow to fork it, test a variation, or use it as a starting point without touching the original.
- Duplicate nodes. Same idea at the node level. Copy a configured node instead of rebuilding it from scratch.
- Condition node. Now supports booleans. Branch directly on a true/false value without wrapping it in a workaround. We know some of you were doing unspeakable things with strings.
SRT file support
Loom exports them. Most recording tools do. Upload SRT transcript files in chat and workflows the same way you'd use any other text file.
As always, let us know what you're building.
