Coming soon — Wallet passes
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes are coming to Simply Action Tags. A pass will be a tag that travels with the person: presented at the door, verified in one scan, updated remotely, and revoked the instant it should stop working. Here is what launch will look like — and what works today.
You will issue a credential once and it will project to Apple Wallet and Google Wallet with your branding, colors, and text — added in one tap from a link you send. Each credential counts once; the Apple and Google copies never double-count.
The pass will carry a secure barcode staff scan at the door with a phone camera — no special hardware to start. Contactless tap-to-reader presentation (Apple VAS, Google Smart Tap) is a separate certified-reader world and stays a custom pilot.
Every presentation will be validated on the spot: is the credential active, is it allowed at this location, does it unlock this action? Denials are logged with the reason — the same policy engine that governs printed credentials today.
Change the details and the pass will update itself in the wallet — status, dates, and text stay accurate without anyone re-downloading anything.
Membership lapsed, badge lost, access ended? Revoke the credential and every copy stops validating — the part printed cards could never do. Instant revocation already works for printed credentials today.
Allowed and denied presentations will both be recorded — when, where, how it was presented, and what ran. Your audit trail will cover the wallet era too.
Honest status
Today: physical NFC tags, QR codes, Action Links, printed credentials with policy and instant revocation, and full scan logs. Coming soon: Apple Wallet and Google Wallet barcode passes, included in your managed-Action capacity with no separate Wallet fee. Custom pilots only: contactless Wallet presentation to readers (Apple VAS, Google Smart Tap) — an ordinary NFC tag opening a URL is not the same thing as a Wallet tap, and we will not blur the two.
