How the Kisi integration works
User synchronization to Kisi
Your coworking space members sync into your Kisi dashboard automatically and receive access to the access group defined in a plan. The following information is synchronized:
Full Name
Email
Access for subscriptions
Users receive access to opening the doors together with their subscription. Users go to the Locations > Access > tap the desired door button to open it.
When a user subscribes (either manually or through self-sign-up), they will be added to a specific access group for as long as their subscription is active. If a subscription is created for a company, all company users will be synced to use Kisi. If a user's or company's subscription is canceled or expires, their access to Kisi will be automatically revoked.
Access to rooms and desks
Members and nonmembers who book a room or desk will have access to the predetermined access group for the booking duration. Additionally, room booking invitees will also be granted access. Users who made a booking and arrived at the space go to the Locations > Access > tap the desired door button to open it.
Users will have a 10-minute grace period before and after the booking time.
