When someone swipes their badge to enter the office, Robin checks them in to what they booked in that building. They do not need to open the Robin app.
What a badge swipe checks in
- Desks: desk reservations in that building that start in the next 6 hours. This works even before the desk check-in window opens.
- Other resources: parking spots, lockers and other resources booked in that building.
- Office visits: if the person has no booking, Robin still records that they came in. The visit shows in attendance analytics.
The check-in shows as Confirmed onsite, so admins can tell it apart from a Remote check-in from the app or the web. Wi-Fi check-in works the same way.
A badge swipe does not confirm meetings. For meetings, use room check-in.
Before you start
- You need admin access in Robin.
- People must use the same email address in Robin and in your access control system. Robin uses it to match a swipe to a person.
Connect your access control system
Connect your system to Robin and map its doors to your buildings.
- Go to Manage > Integrations.
- Under Add Connectors, select By category. Your system is under Access Control.
- Select Set up next to your system.
- Map each door to a building in Robin.
Each system has its own steps:
If your system is not on the list, you can send badge data with the Universal Presence Connector (Robin Presence API in the list), or upload it with the Badge Data CSV Uploader (Badge CSV import in the list).
