Address to Coordinate Geocoding

Geoapify turns a written address into map coordinates that a page or app can plot. A Beam agent reads a new or changed address field on an incoming record, such as a store location or a customer shipping address, and calls Geoapify to resolve it into coordinates within the rate limits a team has approved. The result writes back to the record for use in a map widget or store finder. Addresses that Geoapify cannot resolve, such as incomplete or malformed entries, get sent to a person to correct rather than left blank or guessed.

Interactive Map Pin Placement

Geoapify renders map widgets that a website can embed to show store, office, or event locations as pins. A Beam agent reads a list of approved locations, such as active stores from a business record, and updates the pin set on the embedded map when a location is added, closed, or moved, following the format a team has agreed. The map itself is not redesigned by the agent, only the pin data behind it. Layout changes, new map styles, or anything affecting how the page looks stay a decision for the person managing the site.

Route and Distance Calculation

Geoapify calculates a route and distance between two points, which supports features like delivery estimates or nearest location results. A Beam agent reads an origin and destination pair from an incoming request, such as a customer address and a warehouse location, and applies Geoapify to return a distance or estimated travel time within the approved parameters, such as travel mode. That figure gets written to the record or shown to the customer, wherever the connector and account permissions allow it. Unusual results, like a distance far outside expected ranges, get routed to a person to check.
