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.

  • If a user has a desk reservation they’ll be checked into their desk.
  • If a user does not have a desk reservation when they swipe their badge, a visit will be created, checked in, and reflected as being in the office for the day.
  • Admins can view this data in the Analytics dashboard. Available for Basic & Advanced analytics. 

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.

  10. Click Save. 
  11. Review and confirm your changes and click Save.  

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.
