How does Avigilon work with Envoy?
Envoy will send a record of every visitor who signs in on the iPad into the Avigilon event log. Envoy will automatically create an identity in Avigilon for each new visitor.
You can configure Envoy to apply a certain identity type, site location, building, and/or role for your visitor records. You can then utilize all of Avigilon’s features for your visitors, such as badge provisioning, security alerts, and more.
Step 1: Create an admin account in Avigilon
Giving Super admin access would be easiest; however, if your team would prefer not to give that access, the login credentials being used would need the following permissions:
Identities Listing
Tokens Edit Last Area
Tokens Listing
Tokens Update
Step 2: Whitelist IP addresses
For the application to work and connect to your Avigilon instance, please allowlist the following IP addresses:
54.84.138.6054.84.66.109
Step 3: Install the Avigilon App in Envoy
Navigate to Apps > All Apps.
Under Access Control, find Avigilon.
Enter your Avigilon account login credentials and publicly available IP address/name (and port, if necessary), and click “next step.”
Enter information about how you would like visitors to be assigned Identities in Avigilon. The identity type and identity role are required.
Optionally, you can choose to add a site location and building.
Step 4: Setup Employees Options
If your company has Envoy Workplace enabled, please continue with the setup by selecting your options to enable or opt out specific employees from the automation.
Workplace Enabled: This option will enable all options in the section to be configured. Disabling this option will disable all options regardless of their state (e.g., "Disabled During Sign Out" toggled on).
Exclude Employees: This option allows you to select employees to entirely exclude from Envoy Workplace functionality.
Enable During Sign-In: This option will enable employee badges during sign-in with Workplace.
Disable During Sign-Out: This option will disable employee badges during sign-out from Workplace.
Step 5: Complete the Setup
Please click Complete Setup to save your configuration
How do Envoy entries look in Avigilon?
Sign yourself in as a test visitor to ensure that your visitor entry is sent to the Avigilon event log.
Log into your Avigilon instance.
Your test visitor record will appear in the event log.
Note: Visitor name will appear in the source column and the last name and first name columns correspond to your Avigilon admin name.
You can search for all of your visitors based on the identity type.
You can also examine and adjust each visitor’s individual identity.
