  5. 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,

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
