How Do I Automate Key and Access Control for Guests?
You automate key and access control by letting access codes generate and send automatically as check-in approaches, and revoke automatically at checkout. On Jestor, this connects reservation status to automations and, when applicable, API integrations with smart lock systems.
Manually managing keys and access codes across a growing property portfolio is a repetitive administrative task with a genuine security risk if something gets missed.
What manual access control risks
- Someone needing to remember to generate and send access codes manually
- Codes not revoked in time after checkout, creating a security risk
- No centralized record of which codes are active on which property
- Inconsistency between properties managed by different people
How access automation works
- Date-triggered automations can generate and send access information before check-in
- Integrations via open API or webhooks can connect to smart lock systems, if available
- Checkout can automatically trigger access code revocation
- A centralized record shows access status across every property
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Date-based automation removes the dependency on someone remembering manually
- Webhooks and open API allow connection to lock systems that expose their own API
- The centralized record reduces the risk of forgotten or unrevoked codes
- This connects naturally with the automated check-in and checkout flow
