Article summary

Customers have the choice between using the Brivo Pass app or the white-label Passport app to unlock doors.

They need to have your Brivo On Air code ready to use in both apps. This code is sent to them via email when they book a resource connected to Brivo, receive passes connected to Brivo or even have a floor plan item assigned to one of their contracts.

Customers only need to redeem their BrivoOnAir code once, unless they are deleted or suspended with their mobile pass removed in Brivo.

If you selected Delete Brivo users or Suspend Brivo user account and remove Mobile Pass while enabling the Brivo integration on the Admin Panel, customers who don't have any pass, contract or booking linked to Brivo access groups will need to redeem their code again.

You should now be able to use the Brivo app to unlock doors in the space. If you've enabled Brivo Magic Button on the app, simply make sure Bluetooth is on, open the app, and hold your phone near the reader to unlock doors.

Brivo Magic Button only works if your space uses Brivo's own readers.

If you use third-party readers connected to Brivo, you'll need to select the relevant doors on the app to unlock them.

Access is automatically updated based on the passes, bookings and plans you purchase.

Unlocking Doors Using the White-label Passport app

This feature is only available on the white-label Passport app or the standard Passport app if you started using it before July 1st 2020.
Customers can remotely unlock Brivo doors through your white-label app.

Any customer with access to a Brivo door can unlock it via your app, even if they aren't physically in the space.

Before you can unlock doors using Passport, you need to redeem the Brivo pass using the code you received via email.

Simply make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and tap the Unlock door tile. If you enabled the option to unlock the nearest door in your Brivo pass, the nearest door automatically opens when you tap the tile.

This feature only works if your space uses Brivo's own readers.

If you use third-party readers connected to Brivo, you'll need to select the relevant doors on the app to unlock them.

If you didn't enable the nearest door unlock toggle, tapping the tile gives you the option to Unlock Nearest or pick a specific door to open in the space.
