Address
Collects an address, including street, state and postal code.
Unlike most answers, an address answer value is stored as an object, since it contains multiple parts.
{
"my_address": {
"address_1": "213 Main St",
"address_2": "Apt 17",
"city": "Kansas City",
"state": "MO",
"postal_code": "64116"
}
}
If you would like to access one of the parts of the address in a string template, you may use the
get
template function.Given the above example, a template like:
Great, your postal code is {{my_address | get 'postal_code'}}.
Would render:
Great, your postal code is 64116
If you enable International?, then responders will be allowed to choose the country of their address. The saved address will contain the
country
that was selected.{
"my_international_address": {
"address_1": "Strahovské nádvoří 301",
"city": "Praha",
"postal_code": "118 00"
"country": "Czech Republic"
}
}
When international addresses are enabled, you can set a default country using Default country.
If you'd like to pass an address into the flow for your user, here is an example of the syntax required for the address component at the top of this section. Notice each
[field]
corresponds to an object key from the example. You can set all the address fields, or just the fields you have (or want to use).
https://your-flow-url.com?my_address[address_1]=213+Main+St&my_address[address_2]=Apt+17&my_address[city]=Kansas+City&my_address[state]=MO&my_address[postal_code]=64116
Addresses are sometimes tedious to type, so you can use the Google Places API to auto-complete addresses, by providing your API key. If you are restricting referrers and embedding your Formsort flow, make sure to add
flow.formsort.com
(which is where your flow will be hosted) to the list of allowed referrers in the Google API console, in addition to any custom domains on which you are hosting your flows.It's possible you may need to whitelist
flow.formsort.app
as well, for use of the Places API in the Live Preview! When enabled, the address answer will also contain a
raw
field which stores the raw string that was entered by the user.This feature is only available for addresses in the United States.
When Validate addresses (US only)? is enabled, USPS web tools will be used to verify that the address is a valid US mailing address, once you provide your API credentials for USPS.
