Dear all, there have been multiple requests around the ability to track the delivery status in real time, is there are any progress on this feature request, we urgently need this feature to track our deliveries ? also is it possible we can get the data feed from another device ? like blackbox in vehicle through API or something and display that in the app sheet ?

Hi @Ahmed_Zeidan this is one solution:
[GEO-FENCING TRIGGERS: Send Webhooks to Add/Edit Rows or Trigger Actions Based on Location](https://community.appsheet.com/t/geo-fencing-triggers-send-webhooks-to-add-edit-rows-or-trigger-actions-based-on-location/27173) Tips & Tricks ?
Want to add a row or trigger an action when a user enters/exits a certain geographical area? App-creators can capture the user’s location using the HERE() function, but the app-user must still SAVE & SYNC the app to submit data. AppSheet does not support live streaming of location or geo-fencing triggers. Using Integromat and the AppSheet API, App-Creators can trigger a webhook to their app when users enter/exit a defined zone. [Screen Shot 2020-07-05 at 8.44.34 PM] The user must install…

HI Ahmed,
Thank you for advocating for this feature. Very much needed and desired.
We are still very much hoping to be able to release it eventually, but I want to be candid with everyone, it can’t be in the near term for compliance, privacy steps we have to take now that we are part of Google and that are on the timeline out of our control.
If you need something in the short term, then you’ll have to resort to using other route tracking type software…
We are working on an IFrame type view that we hope to release in the next few weeks and that should be able to enable you to host these other route tracking type views inside of an Appsheet Dashboard soon I hope.

No so far
We need this function so that the gps is saved in real time because that way we don’t have to be saving the location manually.

Really curious about the compliance restrictions. There are apps that does that in the store wouldn’t a simple permission (like they do) be enough to cover the compliance? just curious. This feature is a no brainer in this day and age, calculating distances manually is just a waste of time.
