Motive Launch Pad lets you launch any app on your device using a simple 6-character Launch Code.

Note that Launch Pad does not currently download and install APKs. The APK needs to be installed on the device for Launch Pad to be able to launch it.

Step 1: Install the Launch Pad APK

  1. Install the Motive Launch Pad APK via Sidequest, App Lab, or your MDM

Step 2: Provision Launch Pad

  1. When you first open Launch Pad, you will see 9-digit code that you can use to provision the app to communicate with Motive Cloud:

  1. Navigate to the Devices section of Launch to provision your device

Note that this device provisioning is different than provisioning via Storyflow. Make sure to provision the device in Launch for use with Launch Pad.

If you encounter an error while provisioning, your code may have expired. In this case back out of this screen and click “Provision” to generate a new code.

  1. When the app is provisioned, you will switch to the Launch Pad screen:

Follow the remaining instructions to get a Launch Code.

Step 3: Configure an Application in Launch

The example here explains how to set up an Application and Launch Module:
