Within this tab you can assign a logic flow to each part of the visitors journey, the logic flow determines the action which occurs for the visitor. You must create the logic flows before you can assign them to an access journey. New logic flow opens the LogicFlow feature where you can create the required logic flows. You can assign a logic flow to the following stages of the access journey:
-
Offline - The logic flow runs before the visitor logs in and authenticates onto the WiFi, you can use different decisions to show different splash pages.
-
Interstitial - This occurs after the visitor signs in but before the visitor connects and you can use this option to show visitors a video. For more information about this, refer to Interstitial Video.
-
Online - The logic flow runs after the visitor successfully authenticates onto the WiFi. You can use the different decisions to show a splash page, redirect, webhook, E-shot or SMS. If you have a redirect within a logic flow this runs before any redirects within the Redirect tab.
Choose the required logic flow from the required drop-down.

You can create a URL redirect which visitors are redirected to once they have authenticated onto the WiFi. URL redirects can redirect visitors to either an online URL or an online splash page template. You can create up to 20 redirects per access journey and you can add conditions to each redirect to determine which visitors are redirected to which URLs. If you have a redirect within a logic flow on the Logic Flow tab, this runs before any redirects within this tab.
