# Automation Tiles

> How automation tiles let customers perform actions by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC tile in the Members Portal.

Automation Tiles connect the physical space to Nexudus. Customers perform actions — check in, unlock a door, book a resource, and more — by tapping their phone on an NFC tile or scanning its QR code. The Members Portal handles executing the tile action and displaying the result.

## How it works

1. A customer scans or taps an automation tile placed in your space.
2. The portal opens a dedicated full-page URL for that tile (`tiles/:tileId/execute`).
3. The portal calls the API to execute the tile's configured action.
4. The customer sees the result — a success message, an error, or is redirected to a URL.

## What customers see

### Loading state

While the action is being processed, a loading indicator is shown with a "Please wait…" title.

### Success

If the action completes successfully, a success alert is displayed along with the tile name.

### Error

If the action fails, an error alert is shown. When the API returns a specific error message, that message is displayed. Otherwise a generic "Sorry, this tile does not seem to work" message appears.

### Redirect

Some tile actions (e.g. `RedirectUrl`) send the customer to an external URL instead of showing a result on the page.

## Tile actions

The action performed when a tile is scanned depends on how the tile is configured in the Nexudus dashboard. Common actions include:

| Action               | Description                                  |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Check In**         | Checks the customer into the space           |
| **Check Out**        | Checks the customer out of the space         |
| **Booking Check In** | Checks the customer into a specific booking  |
| **Event Check In**   | Checks the customer into a specific event    |
| **Unlock Door**      | Unlocks an access-controlled door            |
| **Book Resource**    | Opens a booking flow for a specific resource |
| **Book Desk**        | Opens a booking flow for a desk              |
| **Redirect URL**     | Redirects to an external URL                 |
| **Request URL**      | Sends a request to an external URL           |
| **Resource Cleaned** | Marks a resource as cleaned                  |

<Tip>
  Automation Tiles are managed from the Nexudus dashboard under **Settings → Automation Tiles**. Each tile has a unique ID and a configurable action.

## API endpoint

The portal executes tile actions via:

```
GET /api/tiles/execute/{tileId}
```

### Response

| Field                  | Type    | Description                                                |
| ---------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `tileName`             | string  | Display name of the tile (optional)                        |
| `result.WasSuccessful` | boolean | Whether the action completed successfully                  |
| `result.Message`       | string  | Human-readable message from the server (optional)          |
| `result.RedirectURL`   | string  | If present, the customer is redirected to this URL instead |

## Route

The tile execution page is available at:

```
/:webAddress/tiles/:tileId/execute
```

This page uses the `FullPageLayout` — a minimal layout without the main navigation — so the customer sees only the action result.
