Proximity Wave is your own digital concierge that is included in the Proximity Platform. Use it at your front desk to greet visitors, help people request tours and notify your members of deliveries. Proximity Wave comes included in the price of every Proximity subscription and works on any tablet type with an internet browser. 
To set up Proximity Wave for your space, make sure you’ve customized your Proximity Wave Background Image under Settings > Brand from your dashboard. To view Proximity Wave, navigate to your Proximity Platform URL/wave. (Example: http://yourspace.domain.com/wave).
To edit what options display on Proximity Wave, navigate to Settings > Proximity Wave.
- Take a Tour: Visitors can enter their name, phone number, and email address and request a tour. A text message will be sent to managers of the space notifying them that a tour has been requested.
- Visit Someone: Visitors can search by name via the Member Directory for the person they’re meeting. The member being visited will receive a text that their guest has arrived.
- Deliveries: Any delivery person can click Deliver a Package or Deliver Food. Similar to Visitations, they’ll enter the name of the delivery recipient. The member will receive a text that their delivery has arrived.
- Join Mailing List: Visitors can easily join your mailing list through Proximity Wave, which is a great way for you to stay in touch with them!
- Note: To enable this feature, you must have at least one CRM connected on the Integrations page. You can sync mailing list signups with MailChimp, ActiveCampaign and HubSpot.
- Check-in: Space managers will not be notified of check-ins, but you can pull a report of who's been in your space. You can additionally add a self-certification/agreement field and checkbox to the check-in form if you'd like to have the member agree to anything additional when they check-in. Turn this on in your Settings > General under "Additional Check-in Info".
- Member: Members can check-in upon arrival. Note: A member must have a pin code associated with their account to check-in via [[wave_name]]
