What you need to integrate Salto KS
You need to make sure some requirements are met before you can integrate Salto KS with Nexudus. The following points detail what you need prior to starting the integration process.
A Salto KS account
If you don't have an Salto KS account already set up, get in touch with the Salto team. They will help you set up your account and install the system in your space.
Passes, resources, and floor plan items in Nexudus
The integration works by connecting Salto KS access groups to passes, resources, desks, and offices in Nexudus. You don't have to connect access groups to every single type of item in Nexudus. It is important to have these items set up in your space prior to the integration.
If you still need to add items to your inventory, check out the following tutorials:
Access Groups in Salto KS
You need to set up access groups in your Salto KS account. These groups will then be linked to passes and resources in Nexudus. Access groups can only be created and edited in Salto KS.
Consider the following points before creating access groups in Salto KS:
- How many access groups you need to create
We recommend you create one access group per pass and per resource you have in your Nexudus inventory.
For example, if you have 4 passes and 8 resources in your inventory, you need to create 12 access groups in Salto KS.
- Which doors customers need to access
When creating an access group, think about all the doors your customers will need to unlock in order to access a specific resource or area of your building.
For example, customers booking a resource need access to the resource door as well as any other door they need to unlock to get to the resource, such as the main entrance door or a floor door.
Once you've figured out how many Salto KS groups you need and which doors each of them should include, check out Salto's article on how to set up an access group. You only need to create access groups in Salto KS. Nexudus will automatically add users to the Salto KS groups when they purchase passes or book resources.
Nexudus automatically adds customers to access groups as they purchase linked passes, book resources or rent desks and offices. Nexudus also automatically removes customers from access groups as their passes expire, their contract are cancelled or their bookings end.
Integrating Salto KS
Once you've set up your access groups in Salto based on the inventory items you have in Nexudus, you can enable the Salto integration in Nexudus.
Step 1. Enabling Salto KS
Log in to dashboard.nexudus.com if you aren't already.
Click on Connect.
You are redirected to the Salto KS login page.
Log in to your Salto KS account.
Tick the Remember My Decision checkbox and then click Yes, allow.
You are redirected back to the Admin Panel.
- Toggle on Mobile Access if you want your customers to be able to unlock doors using the Salto KS or your white-label app.
You need a Salto KS mobile access subscription that includes the right number of users to use this feature.
- Toggle on SSO access if you have a white-label app and you want your customers to be a able to use it to unlock Salto KS doors.
- Toggle on Generate access pincodes for visitors if you want visitor registration notifications to automatically include a PIN code that lets visitors unlock the relevant doors.
- Toggle on Enable Salto/Gantner lockers integration if you use Salto/Gantner lockers.
- Select a No access policy to define what Nexudus should do with the Salto KS user linked to customers without applicable purchases.
What your options mean
-
Users remain active in Salto KS, even if the linked customer doesn't have any purchase or contracts for items you connected to Salto KS access groups.
Suspend Salto KS user account
Automatically suspends users in Salto if they don't have any valid pass, booking, desk or office that grants them access to your space.
Delete Salto user account
Automatically deletes users in Salto if they don't have any valid passes, bookings, desks, or offices that grant them access to your space.
Select your location under the SaltoV2 site drop-down list.
Click the Save Changes button.
Now that the integration is enabled, you can move to the next step.
Step 2. Connecting Inventory Items to Access Groups
The second and last step of the process is to link your Nexudus inventory items to their corresponding access groups in Salto.
A few new sections should have popped up under the initial integration form.
Presence tracking
This section lets you connect specific doors in your space to check-ins in Nexudus. Every time a customer unlocks one of the selected doors, they'll automatically be checked in/out in Nexudus.
Resources
Just select the corresponding access groups in the Salto KS access groups column. Leave the option blank for resources that you don't want to connect to Salto KS.
Linking an access group to a resource means that any customers booking that resource will be added to that access group in Salto .
Nexudus automatically adds customers to the relevant access group 15 minutes before their bookings start. We also remove them from the same access group 15 minutes after their bookings end.
Passes
Just select the corresponding access groups in the Salto KS access groups column. Leave the option blank for passes that you don't want to connect to Salto KS.
Nexudus adds the customer to the relevant access groups as soon as connected passes are added to their account. This applies to passes customers get through plans, passes and passes that are manually added to their account.
Each access group / pass pair must have matching access times.
If a pass grants access to your space from 9 to 5 and its corresponding access group only allows access between 10 and 5, customers with that pass will only be able to access your space between 10 and 5. Nexudus cannot override the access times defined in Salto KS.
Desks / Offices
Just select the corresponding access groups in the Salto KS access groups column. Leave the option blank for passes that you don't want to connect to Salto KS.
Nexudus automatically adds customers to the relevant access groups as soon as one of the connected desks or offices are assigned to one of their contracts. We remove them from the relevant access groups on the connected contracts cancellation dates.
Don't forget to click Save changes to complete the integration.
All set! The Salto KS integration is now complete. Your customers are now able to unlock doors based on their purchases, bookings, and contracts.
Using Salto tags?
You'll need to assign your tags to the relevant customers in Nexudus.
