Overview
The Mist integration enables you to easily provide each of your visitors unique access to your Wi-Fi network.
For Workplace, Mist can be used for employee auto check-in.
How does this integration work?
When a visitor signs in with Envoy, Mist receives their information and automatically provisions a temporary code to access your Wi-Fi network. Envoy then sends this code to the visitor via email or text message.
PREREQUISITES:
For this integration to work, you must collect either visitor email addresses or phone numbers at sign-in. Learn more about how to configure your Envoy sign-in fields.
Please ensure that the username has sufficient permissions to create single-use codes.
This integration is configured per location. If using multiple locations, then the integration must be installed at each location.
