Google Maps Platform
Geocoding, Places, Directions and Distance Matrix via a Maps API key (not Google OAuth2).
OCNORA ships 6 typed Google Maps Platform operations. Each node has a schema-driven form, input and output tables beside its settings, and is pre-flighted by Workflow Health before your first real run.
Before you connect Google Maps Platform
- Authentication
- API key
- Credential
- raw API key (or {"api_key"})
- Connection test
- Available: the stored credential can be checked against the provider when you add it. This is not a record that a test was run or passed.
What you can do with Google Maps Platform
Operations, grouped by what they do to your data.
A sample Google Maps Platform workflow
- 1A core triggerStart the run from a chat, form, manual, schedule, webhook, workflow trigger — no Google Maps Platform trigger is needed.
- 2Directionsgoogle_maps.directionsRoute between two points with distance, duration and step text.
An outline built from this provider’s node contracts, not a recorded run. Each step’s output fields are available to the next in the field picker.
Every node below has a reference page: what it does, the connection it needs, its config fields with types, constraints and examples, and the shapes it emits.

Google Maps Platform questions
- How does OCNORA authenticate with Google Maps Platform?
- With a stored API key credential, shaped raw API key (or {"api_key"}). A connection test can check it when you add it.
- What can I automate with Google Maps Platform?
- 6 typed operations, each with a reference page listing its config fields and the shapes it emits.
- What if the Google Maps Platform operation I need is not listed?
- Where Google Maps Platform has an HTTP API, call it from the HTTP node with the same credential, or describe the step to the AI builder, which asks our team for a typed node when one is missing.
- Are there templates that use Google Maps Platform?
- Not yet. Start from a blank workflow, or describe the workflow to Build with AI.
- How are Google Maps Platform calls controlled?
- Every call and every run step is audited, runs count against the execution budget, and Workflow Health pre-flights the workflow when you save it.
