Automatic Check-in [Mobile]

Use your phone's geolocation service to let Envoy know you've arrived at the workplace.

Updated over a week ago

Overview

You have the option to check in automatically when you arrive at work. Using geolocation technology, the Envoy app can check you in automatically without opening the app. This happens once you arrive within 150 meters of your workplace location. Once you're auto-checked in, you'll receive a push notification confirming your check-in and desk for the day. With this feature enabled, you don't need to schedule in advance—Envoy will create the reservation and check you in when you're at work.

This feature is automatically enabled for employees on version 4.25 of iOS or Android that have previously provided Envoy with full location permissions. If you have not provided these permissions, you will need to update your device settings and toggle on the feature from the Envoy mobile settings in the app.

To turn on automatic sign-ins:

  1. Make sure you have the latest version of the Envoy app installed and opened: iOS | Android.

  2. Navigate to the Profile tab in the Envoy app.

  3. Click the "⚙️" icon at the top right side of the app to access settings.

  4. Click "Auto check-in settings" and enable “check me in based on my location”.

  5. Set location access to “Always” (on iOS) or “Allow all the time” (on Android).

  • Automatic sign-ins should be enabled if your location access was already set like that.

  • Automatic check-ins will not work if you select “While using the app.”

  • If your device does not prompt you to enable location, you can manually apply these settings. See below for more info.

There's an Auto check-in requirement option within the app that shows all the options required for auto check-in to work. If any of these requirements appear disabled, you can tap on them, and they will lead you to either the phone setting or another part of the app to address the issue. Each of these requirements is specific to Android, iOS, or both platforms.

Try it out! You should be signed in automatically the next time you arrive at work.

If you don’t want to sign in automatically, you can disable this feature and continue to sign in manually.

Note: Envoy respects your privacy and does not store your location. If you are within the defined radius of your office, Envoy receives a "Yes" via Google/Apple location services, and you are signed in accordingly. Your exact location is never disclosed to our databases. For more info, please check out our privacy policy.

Automatic sign-in + Health Checks

If your company requires a health check to go into the workplace, this will still need to be completed prior to registering for the day. If you do not complete (or fail) the health check, you will not be scheduled and will not be able to sign in (manually or automatically). Location Settings

Your device must have location services turned on for automatic check-in to work. If your device does not prompt you to change these settings, this section will show you how to enable general location settings on your devices and the location settings for Envoy.
