Location capture - Filla Help Center

The location capture widget adds a “Share my location” button to your form. When the respondent clicks it, the browser asks for permission to access their GPS. The coordinates are saved to fields in your Airtable table.

When to use location capture

Field inspection forms where you need to verify where the inspector is
Delivery or service confirmation (prove the driver was on-site)
Event check-in forms
Any form where knowing the respondent’s physical location matters

Saves coordinates as a single text string like 37.7749, -122.4194 to one text field. Use this when you want a simple, human-readable format.

Location capture requires the respondent’s browser permission. If they deny permission, no coordinates are captured. Make sure your form explains why you need their location.
