Weekly view for unlock and access schedules
Last month we added Exceptions (also known as Holiday schedules) to our Unlock and Access schedule features. We’re now introducing the weekly view to help admins better visualize these and see when exactly a schedule will be overridden by exceptions.

Automatically notify users for every kind of access shared

Track user activity on the go
Are you using the Kisi mobile admin features yet? You can, for example, view presence stats under the User Activity feature. This is especially convenient during emergencies, as it allows you to stay on top of who has unlocked doors and when.

Send temporary access links using the Kisi API

- Send access links via automated emails
- Send access links via customized emails
