Im using Noloco database and I need to get the lat and lon data from the address when a record is created. Can someone point me in the right direction. I have an IFTTT Pro account and would prefer to use that rather than zapier since i already pay for it.

If you use Noloco’s native address field type then the coordinates are automatically obtained.

> Street Address fields allow you to store complete address values, storing Address Line 1, an optional Address Line 2, City, State, and Country. Where possible, Noloco will **Geocode** the address to store the latitude and longitude values of the address, allowing you to use them in [Maps](https://guides.noloco.io/collections/display/maps)
