What it does

Turns a lobby self-check-in into three finished outcomes: a print-ready visitor badge, a real-time host notification, and a compliance log entry. No receptionist has to design a badge or chase down the host by phone.

When to use it

For staffed or self-service front desks that need a consistent, branded badge for every guest and an auditable record of who was on site and when. Ideal when hosts work in Microsoft Teams and want an instant ping the moment their guest arrives.

How it works

  1. 1The lobby check-in form posts the visitor's name, company, host email, and photo URL to a webhook.
  2. 2A badge image is generated with the visitor's name, host, company, today's date, and a VISITOR banner.
  3. 3The host's Teams account receives a direct message with the visitor name and a thumbnail of the badge.
  4. 4The visit is appended to an Airtable "Visitor Log" table with check-in timestamp, host, and badge link.
  5. 5The badge image URL is returned to the kiosk so the front desk can print it.
