Geolocation Activities Overview and Member Experience

Lock activities until members verify their location. Geo-targeted content allows you to conduct surveys, discussions, or diary studies with members when they are in a specific location.

For example, you could prompt members to share their experiences as they shop at your store or ask them specific questions about a special promotion you are holding at the location they are visiting.

This feature is available for activities or member forums. 

Member Experience

Members can only unlock geolocation activities with the Fuel Cycle mobile app.

When a member is viewing locked activities on the mobile app or desktop/browser, a customizable message will display prompting the user to visit the location and check in with the app.

There are two options available for unlocking geolocation activities:

1. You can choose to have the member’s location verified automatically when they open the app. When this method is used, all activities locked by the member’s location will automatically unlock when the member opens the app (no check-in button required). The member will see new notifications when they unlock activities notifying them that they have new activities they unlocked.
2. Alternately, you can choose to display a check-in button on the activity detail page. When this method is used, the member will need to click the button to verify their location before the activity is unlocked.

Example of a check-in screen on the mobile app.

When the member clicks the check-in button, the location is verified.

When the member’s location is verified, the content unlocks for the member, allowing them to view the content and participate in any attached surveys or discussions.

After the content is unlocked, the member can access it from either the mobile app or desktop/browser version of the community.
