iBeacon triggers

iBeacon is the recommended beacon format. It works on both iOS and Android because Apple does not expose raw beacon MAC addresses to apps — only the iBeacon advertisement (UUID + major + minor).

Adding an iBeacon trigger

1. Select the spot or zone you want to trigger.
2. Open the Triggers section and click Add Beacon.
3. The new draft row defaults to iBeacon mode. Type or paste the 32-hex-digit UUID (with or without dashes) into the UUID field.
4. As soon as the UUID is complete, the trigger is created with major = 0 and minor = 0. You can edit those on the trigger row afterwards.

Saved UUIDs

Each iBeacon UUID an admin enters is automatically saved to the organization's library. Next time you add an iBeacon — in any place in the same organization — the UUID input shows a chevron on the right; click it to pick a saved UUID instead of retyping.

Note

Major and minor are how you identify a specific physical beacon (or a logical group). The UUID is shared across all beacons from the same vendor batch or organizational deployment. Saving UUIDs in the library means you only have to look up the long string once.

Switching between iBeacon and Beacon (MAC)

The trigger row has a segmented toggle. Switching from iBeacon to Beacon (MAC) discards everything except the last 12 hex digits of the UUID (since MAC mode only stores a UUID suffix). The admin asks for confirmation before doing this.
