Can I import addresses in a Location Column on my board?

If I’m importing a huge spreadsheet of clients that includes addresses, is there a way to have Monday.com detect the addresses and add them as locations in a location column? It seems like I may have to manually copy/paste from a text column to a location column, but I have 5000+ contacts! Ooof. Any work around?

I would recommend suggesting it as a feature request, as you can see below:

Hi @colleencass - Since you have thousands of contacts to import, I recommend using Integromat to achieve this.

What you have to do is use the Google Maps API to have Integromat send the contact address info to Google, which will then return a set of GPS coordinates, and those can be used to import the location column.
