What it does

When a visitor taps in at the lobby kiosk, this workflow catches the check-in event, finds the matching pre-registered meeting, and immediately notifies the host that their guest has arrived. It closes the gap between a visitor signing in and the host actually knowing about it.

When to use it

Use this when you have a self-service lobby kiosk or tablet that can fire a webhook on check-in, and you want hosts notified in real time on Microsoft Teams rather than relying on a receptionist to phone or message manually.

How it works

  1. 1The lobby kiosk sends a check-in webhook with the visitor's name and the host they are here to see.
  2. 2The flow looks up the matching badge request to confirm the visit was pre-registered and pulls the meeting room.
  3. 3If a match is found, it sends the host a Teams message naming the guest and the lobby location.
  4. 4If no pre-registration exists, it routes a fallback alert to the reception channel to handle the unexpected walk-in.
  5. 5The visitor record is stamped as checked in.
