Incoming Webhooks: Connecting ACS via JSON

Event Subscription allows UnSpot to receive real-time event notifications from other systems using Access Control (ACS). This tool provides integration between UnSpot and ACS via HTTPS requests and is suitable for a variety of systems that work with the JSON format.

When an event occurs in ACS (for example, a user passes through an access control system), information about it is sent to UnSpot, where the following information is updated:
– The “In Office” status is displayed in the user’s card and on the map.
– Booking is automatically confirmed in the second step of the checkin if the appropriate policies are enabled for desk.
– The information appears in the “Office visits history (Access Control System)” report, which is available only to the administrator.

To configure the subscription, you need to create a URL to which the ACS will send the event data. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Go to Manage > Integrations > Incoming webhooks
2. Click the “Create Incoming webhook” button.
3. In the connection data, select the “JSON” data transfer format
4. Match the attributes with your system:
   Office – enter the space attribute.
   Location – enter the attribute of the desk.
   User – enter the attribute for the user’s email address.
   Status – enter the attribute for entry and exit through ACS.
5. Click the “Create” button.

After adding the subscription, the URL link will be automatically generated on the page, and you can use it to transfer data from other systems.

1. You can copy the generated link for further use in other systems integrated with ACS. A token is automatically created in the link to ensure secure connection.
2. If necessary, you can activate or deactivate the subscription.
3. If the attributes change, you have the option to edit the subscription or delete it.
