Microsoft Bot Framework dialogs aren't handling Facebook location being sent

I need to be able to ask for the location and handle that in a waterfall dialog flow (currently I only care about Facebook Messenger)

I am wanting to ask for the location in a builder prompt, although the closest type is attachment but that is expecting a video or image response from the user.

I'd like to see a response handled by the user because the only way I can see this working is if I set a flag that I've asked that question and explicitly capture the response if it is a location response. Although, this isn't really the functionality I'm after.

Does anyone have a solution for this by chance?

Thanks, Scott

Edit; I am looking for a solution that requires the use of Location quick replies.

For asking location, I would recommend you to use the Bing Location Control for Microsoft Bot Framework.

The Bing location control for Microsoft Bot Framework makes the process of collecting and validating the user's desired location in a conversation easy and reliable. The control is available for C# and Node.js and works consistently across all channels supported by Bot Framework.
