Triggers initiate the delivery of preconfigured content from the ACTV8me backend.

Audio Triggers

An Audio Watermark is a type of trigger that uses a unique code embedded within a piece of audio content (this code is undetectable to the ear). This allows for the delivery of specific content upon trigger the detection by the ACTV8me SDK.

An Audio Fingerprint is activated by the audio without embedding a code into a specific file. Therefore, a fingerprint can be activated by any copy of the audio as long as it is identical to the original. For example, a commercial or song can be fingerprinted in one place and activated in another without any exchange of files (again, this code is undetectable to the ear).

The following properties are part of an audio trigger:
