How This Automation Works
Service Appointment Scheduled or Completed → Secure Access Code Generated and Delivered
Service Appointment Trigger
When a customer books a keypad lock installation or service appointment through your scheduling system, or when a technician marks a job as completed, the trigger automatically captures customer details, lock type, and access requirements.
Generate Unique Access Code
The system generates a secure, random access code based on your specified parameters (length, complexity, expiration). For temporary access, it sets appropriate start and end times. The code is validated to ensure it meets the lock manufacturer's requirements.
Program Lock System
The generated code is automatically transmitted to the smart lock system via API, programming it into the keypad. The system confirms successful programming and handles any errors or conflicts with existing codes.
Log Code Details
All code information is logged in your customer database, including the code itself, expiration date, customer details, lock location, and associated service appointment. This creates a complete audit trail for security and customer service purposes.
Deliver Code to Customer
The access code is sent to the customer via their preferred communication method (SMS or email) along with usage instructions, lock location details, and any relevant property information. The message is customized with your branding and includes support contact information.
Confirmation and Monitoring
Delivery confirmation is tracked and logged. For temporary codes, the system monitors expiration dates and can send reminder notifications. If the customer reports issues, support staff have immediate access to all code details and can trigger regeneration if needed.
How It Works
Transform your locksmith business operations with automated keypad lock programming and access code management. This integration eliminates manual code generation and delivery by automatically creating unique access codes, syncing them with your smart lock systems, and sending them directly to customers via SMS or email. When a service appointment is booked, completed, or a customer requests access, the system instantly generates secure codes, logs them in your management platform, and delivers them with installation instructions. Perfect for residential lockouts, property management services, vacation rental access, and commercial building security. Reduce callback requests, eliminate scheduling delays, and provide 24/7 access management without manual intervention.
The Trigger
When a customer books a keypad lock installation, a service appointment is completed, or an access code request is submitted through your scheduling system, the process automatically initiates code generation and delivery.
The Action
The system generates a unique, secure access code, programs it into the keypad lock system via API integration, logs the code in your customer database with expiration details, and sends the code with usage instructions to the customer via their preferred communication channel (SMS or email).
