Switching on the Sky WiFi x 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.
There might be additional fees from Sky WiFi for this integration. Please contact your Sky WiFi Account Manager to find out more.
Getting Started
To get started, get in touch with your Sky Wifi Account Manager. Provide confirmation in writing to your Account Manager that your data can be shared with Airship.
Your Sky Wifi Account Manager will then let Airship know that they require API access to send data to your Airship database.
We will then provide them with:
Unique URL link
API username
API password
Data is sent in near real-time to your Airship database when a customer connects to your WiFi.
What data is sent to Airship?
