Gmail automation
Now that Gmail has been added, you can create an automation to make use of that connection!
- Select Automation from the main menu.
- Click Add New Automation.
- Decide on an Automation Name, and select the Location and Campaign this automation is for.
- Click Proceed.
- Choose a Trigger. You have four choices:
Connect: When the guest connects to WiFi
Disconnect: When the guest disconnects from WiFi
Inactive: When the guest has not connected to the WiFi for a certain number of days
Birthday: On the guest's birthday each year.
Note that most login methods do not collect birth date information; you can, however, request that information from Facebook,
- Choose a Delay. There are two options:
Real Time: The automation will fire as soon as the trigger happens.
Delay: The automation will fire a specific length of time after the trigger happens. This can be measured in minutes, hours, or days.
- Choose the Send frequency. You have three choices:
Always: The automation will fire every time the trigger occurs.
Once: The automation will only fire the first time the trigger occurs for that contact.
By Visits: The automation will fire based on a rule you set up based on the number of visits.
The By Visits rule has two parts:
When: Choose between Before, On, or After
Visits: The relevant number of visits that changes whether or not this automation will fire.
For example, an automation set as When: Before and Visits: 5 will fire the first four times the contact connects to the WiFi, but will not fire after that.
