Real Time Address Validation
Hi!
Has anyone created an integration where when a user is typing in the address field in real time it would validate that address (like you experience on websites) as accurate per the United States Postal Service (or similar service) and suggest a correct address if it does not pass validation?

Thank you in advance!

Hi.
You should be able to do this fairly easily using the google maps API.

Thanks, Cooper. Have you or anyone you know implemented an address validation autocomplete using custom JavaScript on the form? Right now, we've been playing around with the USPS API and grabbed the response and updated a suggested address field with an option to push it to the main address field. It just isn't what our organization is looking for.

No, I have not done that.
But I have used the google API on projects, including an active one and have had no issues. This project I used it to calculate drive times and to fill in addresses based on map coordinates.

I quickly skimmed the above instructions before I suggested it. It accepts an address and then returns corrected address. I do not recall if it gives options or not.

It's also a rest api so you do not need to use javascript. You can just use the call URL action.
