Google Maps Distance Matrix Documentation
Overview
The Google Maps Distance Matrix node is part of the Google Maps integration in the Vantage workflow engine. Calculate travel distance and time between multiple origins and destinations.
This node uses the Google Maps API through Vantage's managed credential system — no manual token handling required.
Settings
Origins
- Input Type: String (pipe-separated)
Destinations
- Input Type: String (pipe-separated)
How It Works
- Receives input data from upstream nodes through configured input ports.
- Authenticates with Google Maps using your connected credentials.
- Executes the API operation with the provided configuration and input data.
- Returns the result through the output port for downstream processing.
Error handling is built in — if the API call fails, the node throws a descriptive error with the failure reason.
Input and Output
- Input: Accepts data in object or array format from upstream nodes.
- Output: Returns the Google Maps API response as structured data.
Use Cases
Workflow Automation
