- Switch on Display a welcome message and type it.
- Under Post-authentication, switch on Email validation if you want to check emails are real, and add a Success page URL, such as your website.
- Click Save changes, top right. Reset undoes unsaved changes.
Ask your own questions
Click Add question under Custom questions, type it, then click the Save changes button under that question. The required New question goes live on your login page straight away, before you save.
Check it worked
On your own phone, the guest Wi-Fi login page shows your fields and welcome message.
Good to know
- Paid hides guest details, custom questions and sign-in options, as paid portals collect only an email. See charge guests for Wi-Fi.
- For marketing consent, see what guest data your Wi-Fi collects.
- SMS verification only works when Phone is on.
- Only Admin, Moderator, Marketing, Reports and IT can see Wi-Fi.
