Brivo access control

Overview

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

How it works 

When users swipe their badges at the Brivo-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 or assignment, they’ll be checked into their desk.
• If a user does not have a desk reservation or assignment 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 Analytics. Learn more here.

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 use assigned desks, have low check-in rates, or have users who come to the office without a desk reservation.
