Manychat- Location custom input converted to an address through google places api?

I am trying to get something accomplished in manychat that I know is possible.
Manychat bots can request a user to enter their location by pressing a button which returns their latitude and longitude. What I want to do is pass that to Google Places/Maps Api and return their address in manychat.
I have seen videos where a guy send out user inputs and did some javascript in zapier and then texted back to the app but am not sure how to begin here.
Found reverse geocoding google docs here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-reverse BUt I'm not that technical.
I see that I must pass the values out of manychat with zapier but then unsure what to do next. I do have a google api key which I have used for some autocomplete forms in jotform.
Has anyone done this before?
This has been accomplished by this bot
EDIT- I successfully was able to use some javascript to create some values, do some simple math and return a zap to manychat doing some custom calculations. My question now is how to use the goolge map api to return an output that can be picked up within zapier and texted as a custom value back to manychat
