Guide: Wi-Fi Check-In
Automatic Wi-Fi check-in eliminates the need for users to perform check-ins manually. Instead of using NFC tags on desks, employees are automatically checked in for the day when they connect to the workplace Wi-Fi within 15 minutes before or 30 minutes after the booking starts and open the inspace app or the inspace tab in Teams.
How to enable automatic Wi-Fi check-in
- Log in to inspace with your admin credentials.
- In the left navigational panel, select Settings.
- On the General Settings tab, turn on the Wi-Fi check-in toggle.

How it works
To ensure the automatic Wi-Fi check-in functions correctly, the user must:
- Connect to the corporate Wi-Fi within 15 minutes before or 30 minutes after their booking starts. For instance, if an employee has a desk reservation at 12:00 PM, they must be connected to the corporate Wi-Fi from 11:45 AM to 12:30 PM.
- Open the inspace mobile app, the inspace web app, or the inspace tab in Teams (provided that the company has enabled the Teams integration with inspace).

If the user connects to the corporate Wi-Fi during the required time period and opens the inspace web app, the app communicates with the backend every three minutes. Therefore, the user can simply leave the inspace web app tab open, and the Wi-Fi check-in will be triggered automatically.
Note: Sometimes, web browsers suspend tabs to save system resources like memory and CPU usage by pausing tabs that are not actively used. In such cases, the inspace web app will also be suspended. To avoid check-in issues when this happens, users should navigate to the inspace web app page and refresh it.
