=== WIFI Beacon ===

Wifi Beacons use a wifi device like a router to transmit a universally and unique identifier (see //SSID or MAC or IP// field below) picked up by the [[messangisdk|Campaign Manager SDK]] embedded in any app.

\\ \\ 
The identifier is used by the Campaign Manager to determine the mobile device's physical location, and based on the configuration, trigger a location-based action.
Beacons are configured as an Interactive Campaign, in which entering or exiting of the beacon serves as trigger to the configured campaign:

The configuration of the beacon has several parts:
  -  Univocal identification of the desired beacon by its SSID, MAC address or IP
  - Campaign to be activated upon the established trigger
  - Trigger event
  - Advanced options common to all interactive type campaigns
