1. Client detects a Tag Event and sends it to the ACS
2. Tag Event is processed in the ACS and matched to an application
3. Application is executed on server and resulting action is sent back to the client
4. Client executes the action

Touchatag Applications
2 types of applications
- Template based (Weblink, Skype call, Uber social businesscard)
- User defined (Specification tool)
=> Knowledge of Specification layout & block system
=> Basic programming knowledge required, its not hard, really!

Touchatag Applications – Block System
Basic building blocks of an application
Different types of blocks (text, regex, httpclient, logical)
Pins have data types (text, uri, map, list)
Superblock -> reusable composite of blocks
