Use these Robin pro tips to get more out of Robin in your office. Each tip also appears in the monthly Robin newsletter.
Pro tip 1: Create zones with work areas
Use Robin's work areas to set aside space for certain teams and needs, such as neighborhoods or zones in your office. See how to get started with work areas.
Pro tip 2: Make a conference room bookable with desks
You can create bookable office space: move a desk into a conference room on your floor map. This helps if your conference rooms are not bookable through calendar integrations.
Add several desks to one room to create a set number of seats. This gives the room a makeshift capacity limit.
Pro tip 3: Share events with announcements
Use workplace announcements to remind people of upcoming events, such as happy hours and work rec leagues.
Pro tip 4: Use Robin in Microsoft Teams and Slack
Integrate Robin with Microsoft Teams or Slack, or both. You can search for open workspaces, get check-in reminders, and get updates on who plans to be in this week.
Pro tip 5: Collect feedback with surveys
Robin helps you improve your workplace, not only manage rooms and desks. Turn on Workplace Experience surveys to collect feedback from your employees. Then plan your office around what your team needs.
Pro tip 6: Add coworkers as favorites
Favorites help hybrid teams connect. Try favorites. Employees who book with their favorites list are 60% more likely to come into the office. Star your favorite coworkers on the web and in the mobile app to see when they will be in. Then plan your week around seeing them in person.
Pro tip 7: Keep users and groups in sync with SCIM
Use the SCIM integration to keep your users and groups up to date through headcount changes. This lets you break down your analytics by department and make decisions based on your own data. Robin supports OneLogin, Azure and Okta.
Pro tip 8: Customize Robin for each user
Every user can customize Robin to suit how they work. Show your team how to set a default office, customize booking reminder notifications, integrate with Zoom, and more. See Manage your user profile settings.
Pro tip 9: Put kiosks in your office
Try kiosks in your office. People use them to find team members and to book desks and rooms from the touch-screen display. In a big office, place wayfinders around the building so people can see which rooms and desks are open.
