The Google Calendar Add-On enables users to easily handle entry to physical areas by utilizing events within their Google Calendar. This means that businesses currently using Google Calendar can seamlessly integrate the Tapkey solution into their daily operations. This integration eliminates the need to manually grant access for permissions associated with reservations, streamlining the entire process.
Centralised Access Management
Centralised access management means that all access permissions are managed from a central point. This way of managing access is suitable for businesses aiming for enhanced control over space reservations based on memberships or specific reservation payments, such as a coworking space. The owner of the coworking space would be in charge of it.
Ideal for Coworking Spaces
This picture shows the coworking space’s infrastructure. In order to be able to use the Google Calendar Add-On properly, the digital locks need to be installed already in the rooms.
Steps to Link Tapkey Application
1. Tapkey smart locks already installed in facilities

A ‘calendar resource’ virtually represents physical spaces like conference rooms or desk areas. For example, to manage access to a desk room, you’d create a resource called “Desk Room 1.” This resource holds locks and access permissions for that space. Once a calendar resource is set up, assigning locks – known as lock mapping – is easy. Administrators can link specific locks to the resource, connecting physical access control with Google Calendar. This link automatically updates access permissions based on the calendar. If a team member has a meeting in “Desk Room 1,” access is granted during that time.

Once locks are assigned to a calendar resource, administrators gain the flexibility to grant access to individuals or groups of people. By simply adding invited people to a calendar event, the Tapkey processes take care of keeping access permission in sync with any new or updated calendar events. To provide users with more flexibility, the integration also offers a ‘margin time’. It allows for an extended time window of access before and after a
scheduled booking.
