How can I optimize my processes with Smart-Lock Integration?

You can connect your anny account with a Smart-Lock to provide your customers with independent, keyless access.

After booking, your customers receive access via email or through the provider's app, granting them access to the reserved time slot and space/resource.

This provides you with a reliable overview of access rights and automates on-site operations.

How do I set up the integration?

  1. Install the lock on the desired door and, if necessary, ensure that there is a secure internet connection.

  2. First set up your admin account with your Smartlock manufacturer and test the function of the lock.

  3. You can then activate the desired integration in your anny admin area in your settings under Integrations.

  4. Either authenticate yourself by pressing the button or follow the instructions in the info fields.

Configuration of the Smartlock integration

Once the authentication process is complete, you can set up the accesses, there are two options here:

Access through booking

  1. Click on Add to create a new rule

  2. Select the resource that should grant access to the lock when it is booked

  3. Select the associated locks to which access is granted.

  4. Determine the time during which the customer has access to the lock before and after booking.

  5. If necessary, an additional invitation can be set in the app from the locking system or a code for a pin field.

Existing connections can be edited or deleted using the three dots on the right.

Access through communities

  1. Click on Add to create a new rule

  2. Select the community whose members should have access to one or more locks

  3. Select the associated lock(s) to which access is granted.


View Smartlock accesses in the anny admin area

In the detailed booking view, active and inactive accesses made through a booking can be displayed

By clicking on the respective access, both:

  • status

  • access period

  • door lock

  • creation date

  • pin code

of an account can be viewed, and the access URL can be copied.

Icon:

Status:

In progress: Access has been ordered by anny but not assigned by the locking system. With some systems, e.g. Nuki, this is the status until access has been confirmed.

Successfully created: Access has been successfully created and the customer can operate the lock at the time shown.

Removed: The access has been removed by the system or an admin and the customer no longer has access to the lock

Pro tip: By clicking on the three dots, you can display the access in the admin area of the locking system and also access the integration settings in anny.


What does the booking process look like?

Your customers will now receive access rights for the necessary locks upon booking. According to your settings, they can enter the room 15 minutes before/after the booking time. During the booking period, your customers have the option to close/open the room at any time, for example, to take a break.

If a booking is canceled via anny, access rights are simultaneously revoked.


Access via an App


Authorization is granted through the customer's email address. After booking with anny, the customer receives a booking confirmation via email. They can now log in to the respective app using the same email address. There, they'll see the locks they have access to. The lock can be opened via Bluetooth (Tapkey) / Wifi (NUKI) using their mobile phone.


Access with a Keypad

Your customers will receive a 5-digit access code in the booking confirmation email, which they can enter on-site via the keypad. No registration through a manufacturer's app is required.

Currently, only NUKI offers a keypad.

Admin Overview

As an account admin, you can view the current access rights and activities in your provider app (NUKI / Tapkey). This allows you to verify which customer unlocked or locked at what time.

If you allow keyless access via keypad, your customers will receive the access code directly by email. In this case, no registration in the NUKI app is required.

Real-time adjustments to access rights can also be made here.
