Step-by-step instructions to launch a temporary event for your location and let your guests connect with a unique authentication for a given time
Use case
Whether it’s a showroom event, client meeting, or product launch, your company may need to provide temporary Wi-Fi access to a larger group of guests for a specific duration. The Cloudi-Fi solution enables you to manage such special events directly from your admin account, offering a secure and seamless connection experience.
Prerequisites
Your captive portal needs to support Event creation. If not, I invite you to contact your Cloudi-fi Support to update your captive portal.
Create your event
-
Access the Cloudi-Fi Dashboard
- Go to Portals > Events.
-
Create a New Event
- Click on "New Event" to begin setting up your event.
-
Configure Event Details
Fill in the following information:- Event Name: This name will also appear in the event section of your portal.
- Passcode: Set a passcode to restrict access, ensuring only guests with the code can log in.
- Start and End Dates: Define the timeframe for your event. Only events that match the current date will be visible to guests on the portal.
- Event Perimeter: Choose the locations where this event will be available. You can apply it to specific locations, a group of locations, or locations with a defined scope.
-
Notifications
Subscribers to your event will be notified of any updates or changes during the event’s duration.
Locations without an Event Activated: Guests will follow your standard connection process.
Locations with an Event Activated: Guests will be prompted to enter their email and the passcode (if one was set) to gain access to the event-specific Wi-Fi.
What’s next?
Great! We created an event; as you can see below, it appears on your portal.
