Kisi access control

Overview

Integrate Kisi with Robin to allow Kisi-controlled doors to automatically check users into Robin with a badge swipe. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up the integration and start using it. 

How it works 

When users swipe their badges at the Kisi-controlled doors, they'll be automatically checked into the office via Robin, streamlining the check-in process and enriching attendance and usage analytics.

• If a user has a desk reservation, they’ll be checked into their desk and reflected as "Checked in or confirmed on-site".
• If a user does not have a desk reservation when they swipe their badge, a visit will be created, checked in, and reflected as "Confirmed on-site".
• Admins can view a real-time list of who is in the office from the Daily Roster and see who checked in via a badge swipe. 
• Badge data shows up in analytics as a desk check-in and/or counts towards someone "confirmed on site" and specifies the check-in method used. 

How to set it up

1. In the web dashboard, navigate to Manage > Integrations on the left.
2. On the Integrations page, scroll down to the "Access Control" section. 
3. Locate Kisi and click Connect to begin the setup process. 
   
   • 
4. Under "Authentication," click the Connect Kisi Account button.
   • Note, to connect your Kisi account with Robin, you need to generate an API token in Kisi. This requires access to a Kisi owner account. 
   • 
5. A popup window will appear, asking you to enter the API Key from your Kisi account. 
6. Now, log in to your Kisi owner account to generate an API key.
7. Once you have the key, return to Robin, enter the API key in the popup window, and click Connect.
8. After successfully connecting your Kisi account, you'll see a table mapping Kisi Door IDs to the designated buildings and floors. 
   • 
9. Use the table to configure the relevant buildings, doors, and floors where you want to enable automatic check-ins via Kisi.

FAQ

• Why should I integrate badge swipe data with Robin?

  • Integrating badge swipe data increases the accuracy of check-in and attendance data. This is particularly helpful for organizations that user permanently reserved desks, have low check-in rates, or have users who come to the office without a desk reservation.
