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 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:

  1. Univocal identification of the desired beacon by its SSID, MAC address or IP
  2. Campaign to be activated upon the established trigger
  3. Trigger event
  4. Advanced options common to all interactive type campaigns
