# Address Flows

The Address Flows skill can be used to ask a user for an address. The skill will perform an address lookup via Google Maps to validate whether or not it exists.

## How to install?

### Installing the package

Depending on your license, the Address Flows skill can be installed in the packages section of the platform.

Not all Smart Apps support the Address Flows skill. When they do however you can perform the following steps to install the skill to your App.

1. Go to packages
2. Click on Browse skills
3. Click on Address Flows
4. Click on Install

### Configuring the API key

For the lookup in Google Maps to work, you need an API key. An API key can be obtained by [following this guide](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/get-api-key) <https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/get-api-key>.

Enter the generated API key in the 'Integrations - Secrets' section.

## How to use?
