Activation
An activation applies a privilege (and optionally a notification) to many passes. Use activations for campaigns and scheduled rollouts.
What an activation contains
Segmentation: which passes are targeted.
Trigger: when the activation runs.
Configuration: what is applied (privilege + optional notification).
How it differs from a Privilege
A Privilege is the object stored on a pass. An activation is the “batch mechanism” that creates or updates privileges at scale.
Execution model (high level)
When the trigger fires, the platform resolves the segment into pass ids.
The platform applies the configured privilege to each pass.
Each updated pass is pushed to Apple/Google via the usual update pipeline.
Use an activation when you need repeatable logic. Use the privilege API when you target a single pass.
