Various tokens were added to the manual trigger step of&nbsp; \u201cFlow Button for Mobile\u201d, and new templates were added which leverage these tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of button trigger tokens, each offering several tokens for you to use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User info\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User email \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Date<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Timestamp \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Street<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>City<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>State<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country\/Region<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Postal code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full address<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longitude<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Latitude<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>All tokens refer to the location &amp; time at the triggering moment, and to the user who\u2019s triggering the Button flow.<br>Please note that in order to use the location tokens, you\u2019ll have to grant the Flow app with location permissions, and to turn on your device\u2019s location service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine all the new scenarios which you can unlock. Here are a few template examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ms.flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/galleries\/public\/templates\/cc4f50c0b63911e68af78d1a54677f1f\/track-your-working-hours\/\">Track your working hours<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ms.flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/galleries\/public\/templates\/1f641c60c07511e6990291553fb5ed37\/save-my-location-to-google-sheet\/\">Save my location to Google Sheet\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ms.flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/galleries\/public\/templates\/7f99fbf0b64711e68af78d1a54677f1f\/send-me-a-push-notification-with-my-current-address\/\">Send me a push notification with my current location<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 13.008px;\">Using Button trigger tokens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to use the above tokens, all you have to do is to create a button template.<br>You can create a button template from blank, or start with a button template.
