Frequently asked questions

What types of geofences does Roam.ai's Geofence API offer?

We differentiate our geofences into two categories, either static or moving geofences. For static geofences we offer standard circle or square geofences, polygon geofences, user or group specific geofences, time sensitive geofences, and we support metadata as a parameter for geofences. All static geofences are combinable to create even more tailored user experiences and use cases.

What are the various methods available to create geofences with Roam.ai?

Creating a geofence can either be done manually, or automatically. Manual creation is done through the Roam Dashboard with our user-friendly interface. Automatically created geofences are done through API.

What is the delay of Geofence events?

The delay for geofence creation from the time it is manually or automatically created to when it appears within the app is under 100ms. The delay for entry and exit events is also under 100ms.

What are the minimum and maximum geofence sizes with Roam.ai's Geofence API?

The minimum is 10 meters and the maximum is 2500 meters. However, note that creating a geofence under 25m in radius can be detrimental to the user experience. Location updates can have a drift that is higher than the radius. In that case, the entry or exit event may not be detected. Similarly, the maximum size is indefinite for a geofence, but creating a geofence any bigger than 2500 meters in radius has very little use cases and is generally not recommended.
How does the functionality of moving geofences work with Roam.ai's Geofence API?
A moving geofence is set to be around a specific user_id. The Geofence will then be active and will trigger entry and / or exit event notifications for users going through the moving geofence.
