“Here is our showroom.” “Your delivery agent is here.”

Notes

latitude must be between −90 and 90, longitude between −180 and 180. A JSON number or a numeric string both work — 21.1702 and "21.1702" are equivalent.
name and address are optional to you. Under the hood both are always sent, as empty strings if you omit them, because WhatsApp requires both fields to be present.
name is capped at 255 characters, address at 512.
This is a static pin, not live location sharing. There is no way to send a moving location that updates.

Example

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.bulkneo.com/v1/messages/location \
  -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "instance_id": "YOUR_INSTANCE_ID",
    "to": "919876543210",
    "latitude": 21.1702,
    "longitude": 72.8311,
    "name": "Our showroom",
    "address": "Ring Road, Surat"
  }'

Send the pin and a text message together — a pin alone gives no context. Many businesses send the address as text first, then the location.
