There are two actions that can be set up: send a message and lock device
Actions to trigger when geofence is activated need to be added. The options for actions are the following:
- Send a message
- Entering a message title is optional, but it is mandatory to provide a message body.
- Once the geofence event is triggered, a notification will appear on the device.
- Notifications are displayed on a per geofence action basis. This means that if the same action is triggered while a previous notification is still visible on the device, the new notification will replace the existing one.
- For example, if you enter an area and a welcome message is triggered but you don't clear it, leaving and then re-entering the area will trigger the message again and replace the existing notification.
- On the other hand, if the geofence contains multiple actions (e.g. welcome “enter” and farewell “exit” messages), both notifications may be visible on the device simultaneously.
- Notification content is based on the title and message configuration provided.
- If the title is missing, an app name is used as a title (i.e. HMD Enable Pro).
- Lock device
- The action notifies backend about triggered geofence, after which the backend locks the device using device operations.
- If you enable the option "Generate new password when device is locked" in the action, it will notify the backend when the geofence is triggered. After that, the backend will reset the password and lock the device using device operations.
