Switching on the Wireless Social / Airship connector means that each time a customer connects to your WiFi, the customer and WiFi data will be automatically sent to your Airship database.
Getting started
To get started, get in touch with your Wireless Social Account Manager. Provide confirmation in writing to your Account Manager that your data can be shared with Airship.
Your Account Manager will then let Airship know that they require API access to send data to your Airship database.
Airship will send the necessary API details to Wireless Social who will switch on the connector for your account.
Data sync frequency
Your data can be synced to Airship in near real-time or daily. Please specify your preference with your Wireless Social Account Manager when the Airship connector is configured.

View your data in Airship
Once the connector is enabled, you will be able to see data flowing into your Airship account, by navigating to Folders & Groups.
To access your Contact Folders in Airship, scroll down to “Contacts” in the main menu and select “Folders & Groups”.
You’ll be able to select your Wifi Group to see contacts within that Group that have been added via the Wireless Social connector.
Sending survey data to Airship
If you are running a survey on your Wifi splash pages, this data can be sent to Airship.
For example, if you ask guests "Are you a member?" after they join your WiFi, this data can be written against the Airship contact record so that you can send email marketing to customers based on this data.
To start sending this data to Airship, inform your Airship and Wireless Social account managers who will assist with the set up for you.
