Engage is based on campaigns that you create for guest users when they access your guest wireless network through a captive portal. A campaign is the set of pages, code, and content used to identify, track, and create marketing opportunities for guest user access.

You can create custom campaigns for each portal, and each campaign can consist of one or more splash pages, landing pages, coupons, and text messages.

Basic and Pro Campaigns

You can choose a Basic Campaign or a Pro Campaign template. A Pro Campaign contains more advanced options such as landing templates, buttons, polls, image carousels, videos, coupons, and text messages.
