In this article, we will review the steps required to integrate your DoorFlow account with Archie. Before starting these steps, we strongly suggest that you have already created an account in DoorFlow.

DoorFlow is an app designed to help you track visitors and maintain an updated presence log. With its integration, DoorFlow can monitor and record entries when someone accesses a door using a key card, PIN, key fob, or similar method. The app will notify Archie whenever a user accesses or exits the space and will automatically create a log entry for each event.

You must install physical readers and associate them to your DoorFlow account so they can be used with Archie.

Step 1. Integrating your DoorFlow account with Archie

  • Go to "Settings / Integrations / App marketplace"

  • Locate the DoorFlow app and click "View Integration"

  • Click "Connect DoorFlow account"

  • You will be redirected to the DoorFlow Sign in screen

  • Add your credentials and click Sign in

  • You are now ready to start using this app

Step 2. Configure your Locks in Archie

  • Go to "Settings / Integrations / App marketplace"

  • Locate the DoorFlow app and click "View Integration"

  • Click "Configuration"

  • Select the locks that you will be using for Check-ins

  • Select the locks that you will be using for Check-outs

Archie tip: The best way to track your visitors if to have key readers to access and exit the building, nonetheless, if you only have readers to access the building, you can set them to be both "check-in" and "check-out", visitors must use the reader when entering and exiting.

This "one reader" set for both check-ins and check-outs will function as an ON/OFF switch. The first time an entry is registered, it will be marked as "in," and the next time it will be marked as "out," regardless of whether the visitor forgot to scan the key when leaving the building and then returned.

Step 3. Configuring your visitor policies

  • Go to "Settings / General / Visitor policies"

  • Scroll down to the section "Visitor check-out policies"

  • Select "Allow self check-out" if you want your visits to be able to check out

  • Select "Activate auto check-out" to mark your visitors as checked out at the end of the day in case that an exit hasn't been registered
