In some cases, locations of interest are not fixed at one place. By installing beacons, you can send mobile app messages to users at locations that are on the move. In this scenario, you send a mobile app message to mobile device users who dwell near a parked food truck for 5 minutes.

• A mobile push-enabled database is already set up for the contact source.
• DLA is provisioned for the organization.
• The location administrator, developer, and marketer have appropriate privileges to access Acoustic Campaign.

• The location administrator has already created the location attribute.
