Your WiFi login is an important stage that lets you quickly connect your guests through 3 different login methods. You can control which methods they can use.

Change your title & body.

You can customize the greeting your guests receive. Your text area can also be extended to provide any information or message you want your guests to see.

Change your login methods.

We recommend keeping all login methods. Three login methods are optimal, with email, Facebook, Google, and Discord providing the best coverage. If you need to remove a login method, you can do so by unchecking it.

When guests log in with Facebook, Google, or Discord, they authorize us to pull some basic information from their personal profiles. This includes name, email, birthday, and basic demographic data.

Note: Facebook and Google logins are currently disabled on Apple devices due to an incompatibility with the captive portal handler. We are waiting for a fix from Facebook. As for Google, it made an announcement in August 2016 that it would remove support for Google Sign-In products displayed inside embedded web views starting on April 20, 2017.

If users are experiencing this issue with Apple captive portals, they can gain access to the network by taking a few additional steps:

  • Open the Settings app on your mobile device

  • Open the WiFi settings pane

  • Select the info icon next to the network name

  • Turn off Auto-Login for the network

  • Open a guest portal URL in the Safari browser.
    Example: http://controller.yourhotspot.net/userId/login/locationId
    (This could be http or https depending on your controller configuration)

  • Complete the required steps on the captive page presented by the network in Safari

Alternatively, a user could choose to use the network by selecting the "Without Internet" option when prompted and navigating to a URL in the Safari browser. Moreover, if the user doesn't want to go through these steps, advise them to log in using the form instead.

Managing your form fields

With Beambox, you can completely customize your email form to capture the data that matters to your venue. Select the 'Manage your form fields' button to get started.

From here, you can;

  • Rearrange the order in that form fields display by dragging and dropping each form field.

  • Rename your form field by clicking on the existing label and updating it

  • Remove unneeded form fields by selecting the bin icon on the right-hand side of a form field

Adding new form fields

To add a new form field, select 'Add a new field' and click on the field you want to add.

We currently support the following standard fields..

  • Full name

  • Email

  • Phone number

  • Gender

  • Country

  • Date of birth

If you want to collect another form field, then simply select 'Add a custom field' to add your own form fields. You'll then be able to add it to your form, as with any standard field.
