Verkada access control

Overview

Integrate Verkada with Robin to enable Verkada-controlled doors to automatically check users into Robin with a badge swipe. 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 Verkada-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. Scroll down to the "Access Control" section on the Integrations page. 
3. Locate Verkada and click Connect to begin the setup process.  
4. Under "Authentication," select your region. 
5. Enter your public Verkada API key. If you don't have a public API key, contact your Verkada representative. 
6. After successfully connecting your Verkada account, you'll see a table mapping Verkada Door IDs to the designated buildings and floors. 
7. Use the table to configure the relevant buildings, doors, and floors where you want to enable automatic check-ins via Verkada. 
8. Click Save. 
9. 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 use assigned desks, have low check-in rates, or have users who come to the office without a desk reservation.
