Location-Based Pass Alerts

• The user must have already installed the pass for the trigger to function.
• See Mobile Wallet Reference: Location Triggers for available triggers per pass type, requirements, and location radius and date window information.
• See Relevance Information Displays Passes on the Lock Screen, including Table 4-2, in Apple Wallet Developer Guide: Pass Design and Creation .

Add a Relevant Location Trigger

Display a shortcut to your pass on the user’s screen when the device is in the vicinity of a certain location. The radius around the location where the shortcut appears is determined by Apple Wallet and varies by pass type. For instance, Boarding Passes will appear on the lock screen at around 1,000 m, while Coupons will appear at around 100 m. You can add up to ten Relevant Locations per template.

1. Go to Triggers.
2. Click anywhere in a template’s row to see its trigger settings in the expanded view. If you have only one template in the project, the initial view is already expanded.
3. Click Add Triggers then Add a Relevant Location.
4. Enter an Address, then click to choose the address from the list of matches that appears. After selecting the address, its GPS coordinates will be listed next to the Location pane’s title.
5. (Optional) Enter the Relevant Text that will appear on the lock screen when a pass holder is near the location, e.g., “Store nearby on 3rd and Main.”
    Note

   For Google passes, the Relevant Text is determined by Google, so it is not editable.

6. (Optional) Click Add Another Location and continue with your specifications.
7. Click Save Changes.

Location triggers can be used in combination with Date/Time Triggers.

Add a Relevant Date/Time Trigger

Display a shortcut to your pass on a user’s lock screen when the device is in the vicinity of a certain location during a certain date and time. This is handy for certain types of passes that have date and time relevancy, like Events and Boarding Passes.

• The timing when the shortcut appears is determined by the wallet app and varies by pass type.
• Relevant Date is not supported for Coupons or Store Cards.
• You can use Date and Time without Location for Event passes only.

1. Follow the steps above to set up a Relevant Location trigger.
2. Go back to Triggers.
3. Click anywhere in a template’s row to see its trigger settings in the expanded view. If you have only one template in the project, the initial view is already expanded.
4. Click Add Triggers then Add a Relevant Time.
5. Make selections for the day, time, and time zone when you want the pass to display.
   • Select a day: Use the date picker, or enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
   • Select a time: Select a time from dropdown menu, or enter a time in 24-hour notation, e.g., 16:47 for 4:47 p.m.
   • Select a time zone: Select from the dropdown menu.
6. Click Save Changes.

Add a Beacon Trigger

Display a shortcut to your pass on the user’s screen when the device is in within the proximity range of a certain beacon . Apple Wallet supports the addition of up to ten beacons per template.

1. Go to Triggers.
2. Click anywhere in a template’s row to see its trigger settings in the expanded view. If you have only one template in the project, the initial view is already expanded.
3. Click Add Triggers then Add a Beacon.
4. Enter the beacon’s UUID and the Relevant Text that will appear on the lock screen when the pass holder is near the beacon.
5. (Optional) Enter the beacon’s Major and Minor values.
6. (Optional) Click Add Another Beacon and continue with your specifications.
7. Click Save Changes.
