Automate access with Tapkey

Updated today

By integrating with the Tapkey access control solution, Spacebring automates physical access to the premises.

Tapkey is a distinct company not affiliated with us. For any inquiries regarding Tapkey's solutions, services, or pricing, please reach out to Tapkey directly. We do not have the authority to provide information or support on behalf of Tapkey.

Prerequisites

To enable Tapkey integration with Spacebring, make sure you meet these requirements:

  1. Have an active Spacebring subscription with an Essential or higher plan.

  2. Have your Tapkey account set up with all locks configured and added to user groups created exclusively for Spacebring.

  3. Have user groups added and enabled in Tapkey.

Reusing existing access groups you have previously configured for other applications will result in errors.

4. Have access to the Tapkey administrator account.

Connect the Tapkey integration

  1. Go to Spacebring > Integrations page by pressing the menu (...) next to the location's name.

  2. Find the Tapkey integration page > press Connect and permit to connect Tapkey with Spacebring.

  3. Select a locking system to grant access to a group based on a plan.

You can connect a separate Tapkey account to each location in Spacebring.

Configure access for Tapkey

The integration between Tapkey and Spacebring allows granting access based on the following conditions:

  • Subscription

  • Room booking

  • Desk booking

  • Office booking

  • Equipment booking

  • Parking booking

Access for subscriptions

To automate access for subscriptions, open Spacebring and do the following:

  1. Navigate to Billing > Plans.

  2. Create or edit a plan and select the desired Tapkey user group in the "Access" section.

  3. Create a subscription manually or let users sign up for plans by themselves.

To grant access to your existing members, edit their subscription and choose the Tapkey access group. Adding or editing access takes effect immediately.

Access for resource bookings

To automate access for resource bookings, do the following:

  1. Navigate to Resources > Rooms, Desks, Offices, Parking, or Equipment page.

  2. Add or edit a resource > select the desired Tapkey user group in the "Access" section and press Save.

Access is granted for all future bookings only if an access group is selected or edited for the resource before the booking starts. If the booking has already begun, updated access will not be granted.

How Tapkey integration works

User synchronization to Tapkey

Users who qualify for access—based on either a subscription or a booking—are automatically synced to your Tapkey dashboard. The user's email address is synchronized.

Users need to download the Tapkey app on their device and set up their Tapkey account using the same email address they use in the member web portal or mobile app. To unlock a door, users must be physically present in front of the corresponding lock.

Access based on subscriptions

When a user obtains a subscription—whether by self-sign-up or admin allocation—they are added to a specific access group for as long as their subscription is active.

The subscription remains active from its start date until its end or cancellation date, regardless of the payment status of the member's invoices. To revoke access, schedule a subscription end, or cancel it.

When a subscription is created for a company, all users within that company are invited to use Tapkey. If the company’s subscription is canceled or expires, Tapkey access for all associated users will be revoked.

Access based on bookings

Users who make a booking are granted access to the designated access group for the entire duration of their booking. Additionally, any invitees to the room booking will also receive access.

Users will have a 30-minute grace period before and after the booking time:

Disconnect the Tapkey integration

To disconnect Tapkey, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Spacebring > Integrations page by pressing the menu (...) next to the location's name > Tapkey.

  2. Press Disconnect and confirm your choice.

When the integration is disconnected, access will not be granted for future bookings or subscriptions. Any access already granted remains active and must be revoked manually through the Tapkey dashboard.
