What is a Response Mode ?

The Response Mode will define how you will interact with the ixkio platform.

Ixkio has three Response modes : Redirect, API and Direct. Each of our plans is tailored to one of these modes although it is possible add an additional mode as an add-on Module.

The Response Mode is set at the Active Folder level.

If you have multiple Response Modes enabled on your plan, note that you can only set your response mode when the is created. It cannot be changed later.

Redirect

The Redirect system allows management of what's typically called dynamic links.

When the NFC tag is scanned, the user is directed to the ixkio platform. Ixkio checks where the tag needs to redirected to and redirects the user immediately. This happens almost instantly and user isn't aware of the redirect.

Setting up a redirect is quick, easy and flexible. It allows the management of tag destinations after the tags have been deployed.

API

The API Response Method is primarily designed for advanced users, specifically catering to the use of authentication NFC tags.

The NFC tags will link to your third party server first. Your server will extract parameters from the URL and make an API request to the ixkio platform. Ixkio will then respond to your server verifying the tag details.

Direct Response

With Direct Response mode, ixkio displays the landing page directly on tag scan. No other website or server is required.
