Im trying to figure out how to request a users location on WhatsApp using the request location feature (see link below) and wondering if this is possible?
I currently instruct users to share their location through the traditional route which involves multiple steps but this would be ideal if it is possible.
Link to Meta: https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/business-messaging/whatsapp/messages/location-request-messages
Any help would be much appreciated.

@rapid-summer-1666 Isnt this a feature of Botpress? Do we need to externally add it via some api?

if you have an app set up on facebook i'm pretty sure that you could just call that endpoint from a custom code block in your flow

otherwise you're going to have to resort to an unnoficial api or just keep your current method

also feel free to add that as a #1111026806254993459 since the whatsapp integration is very frequently updated
