Avigilon (formerly Openpath) access control

Overview

Integrate Avigilon with Robin to allow Avigilon-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 Avigilon-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.

  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 Avigilon and click Connect to begin the setup process.

    Note

    Robin does not store your username or password. It is used once to generate an API key for your Avigilon Alta account.

  6. Click Connect. 
  7. Once you have the key, return to Robin, enter the API key in the popup window, and click Connect.
  8. After successfully connecting the accounts, you'll see a table mapping Avigilon Door IDs to the designated buildings and floors. 
  9. Use the table to select the relevant buildings, doors, and floors where you want to enable automatic check-ins via Avigilon.

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.
