Verkada is a cloud-based, keyless, door access system that streamlines access and locks/security in your space. Coworks can seamlessly integrate into this door access system to help you manage and provision access from within the Coworks platform.

The purpose of this integration is to automatically create users in Verkada, with the appropriate access controls when adding new members to Coworks. This streamlines the member onboarding process and ensures that you and your staff only need to go to one place to add members and get them fully onboarded to your workspace. We also support and help manage temporary access for guests and visitors.

Here's how it works:

To get started with Verkada & Coworks, make sure you have an active Verkada Subscription with API access. If you need assistance with creating an account, please reach out to us at support@coworks.com

In your Verkada account, Access Control Home, make sure to create some Access Levels with defined access to specific doors. We'll use these access levels to assign directly to Coworks members. This will grant members the appropriate doors and permissions related to those Access Levels.

Make sure to also enable Door Management via API in your Verkada Access settings.

To activate the integration, navigate to our integrations page by clicking on the Community tab in the admin dashboard and then selecting the "Integrations" option from the top tabs. Once there, find the Verkada integration and click "Connect."

This will instruct you to enter your API key and organization subdomain.

To get your API Key, go to your Verkada Access dashboard and complete the following steps:

Copy that API Key and paste it into the Api Key field in Coworks.

Your submdomain should be available in the url from your verkada account right before the '.command.verkada.com'. This is usually your organization's name or domain.

Add your key and subdomain and click 'save'.

Next, it will ask you to connect a "Site" from your Verkada account to the current campus in Coworks. This allows us to match each site in your account to a corresponding campus in Coworks.

Your integration should now be active!

Note: If you would like us to "bulk" sync your Verkada account based on plan allocations, please reach out. This is a manual process, but we're happy to do it for you!

Once you've activated Verkada as an integration and connected your site to your campus, you're ready to start using the Verkada integration in Coworks.

The Coworks <> Verkada integration works by allowing you to automatically choose which Verkada access levls to assign to members as you add them in Coworks. This way, you don't have to manage multiple platforms and can perform all of your access needs directly within Coworks.

When adding a member, you can toggle on the "Add to Door Access" option and choose which door groups (access levels) to add them to (make sure those groups are created in Verkada).

Once added, the member will be automatically created in both Coworks and Verkada. They should receive an email from Verkada with details about downloading the Verkada app and signing in with their Coworks login. After finishing the account setup process, they will automatically have access to the doors you assigned to them during the creation.

You can also set Verkada permissions to existing members by simply going to their profile page toggling on the "Add to Door Access" toggle and clicking "Save." If they've already been synced, you will see a link to take you to their profile in Verkada for edits if needed.

Once a member is linked to Verkada, you will see a link in their Coworks profile that says "Edit in Verkada." Clicking this link will take you directly to that user in the Verkada dashboard and allow you to troubleshoot/edit their access directly.

If you're using our public plans/signup feature, it allows members to sign up for Coworks all on their own. You can also indicate whether those members get auto-provisioned access to your space. You can also control different access groups for different plans.

To do this:

If you deactivate a member in Coworks, they will automatically lose their Verkada access.

Please Note: Cancelling a membership will not automatically revoke that member's Verkada access. You would need to either deactivate the member in Coworks, or manually edit their access within Verkada.
