AUTOMATIONS

Set the rules.
Tags follow them forever.

Sequences drip content across taps. Schedules rotate by time. Routes adapt to the scanner. Split tests find the winner. Layer them together and your tags run themselves.

Sequences Pace Control

A different experience every time they scan.

An ordered list of actions that a tag walks through one step at a time. Each scan advances to the next step. Four modes control what happens at the end — linear, loop, one-shot, or random.

  • Track progress globally or per device — every phone gets its own journey
  • Pace Control throttles advances so scanners can't binge through your content
  • Publish sequences for other users to subscribe and keep all tags in sync
  • Drag-and-drop reorder, collapsible steps, bulk import from Excel

Schedules

Your tag behaves differently based on when it's scanned.

Define time windows with start/end times, active days, and per-window actions. Tapped checks the clock on every scan and serves the matching content. Override mode for flash promotions. Timezone-aware.

  • Per-window days and actions — Monday's happy hour differs from Friday's
  • Visual week view calendar shows your entire schedule at a glance
  • Override mode bypasses the schedule for flash promotions
  • Date range limits for seasonal or event-based campaigns

Conditional Routing

Same tag. Smarter destination.

Define ranked rules that evaluate scan context — device type, scan count, time of day, day of week. Tapped evaluates each rule in order and delivers the first match. A fallback catches everything else.

  • Rule types: device (iOS/Android/desktop), scan count, time, day of week
  • First matching rule wins — priority-ordered evaluation
  • Fallback action for when no rules match
  • Professional tier

A/B Split Testing

Test two paths. Commit to the winner.

Divide scan traffic between two existing actions by percentage. 50/50, 80/20, any split you choose. Each scan is randomly assigned. Compare performance in your analytics dashboard, then commit to the winner.

  • Split between any two actions of any type
  • Custom percentage split (50/50, 70/30, 90/10)
  • Track variant performance in analytics
  • Professional tier

How Tapped decides what to show.

When a tag is scanned, the scan worker evaluates automations in a strict priority order. The first match wins. Here's the full chain.

1
Scan Limit Check
If the tag has exceeded its scan limit, show the limit action or block.
2
Shared Sequence
If the tag subscribes to a published sequence, serve the current step.
3
Individual Sequence
If the tag has its own sequence assigned, advance and serve.
4
Individual Schedule
If the tag has a schedule, evaluate time windows and serve the match.
5
Individual Route
If the tag has conditional routing, evaluate rules and serve first match.
6
Individual Action
Direct action assignment on the tag itself.
7
Group Sequence
Same check at the group level if the tag belongs to a group.
8
Group Schedule
Group-level schedule evaluation.
9
Group Route
Group-level conditional routing.
10
Group Action
Default action on the group. Final fallback before "Nothing Here Yet."
