Applicable plans: ❎ The free plan, ❎ The complete plan

Yes, you can! If you use WelcomR to manage both your parking bookings and your parking access system, Waldo can sync directly with it. That way, when someone books a parking spot, their access to the parking is automatically granted. Smooth, right?

💡 Here's how to set it up:

1. Go to the Waldo admin portal > Global settings > Integrations
2. Click Add integration
3. Give it a label and select the parking location you'd like to connect
4. In the WelcomR token field, paste the token provided by WelcomR
5. Click Check – this will allow Waldo to connect to the WelcomR API to authorize user access
6. Under access settings, define whether parking access is via badge (currently, this is the only supported option – so it's enabled by default)
7. Click Add a path and select the relevant WelcomR path. You can add multiple paths if needed
8. Click Save
9. Once saved, click Assign access badge to users
10. Select the users and assign them the appropriate badge

ℹ️ You can also assign badges directly from the User tab in each user’s profile.

⏰ Time range booking

Waldo automatically defines access times based on the parking booking period. Here's how it works:

• When a user books a parking spot in Waldo for the whole day, Waldo sends an authorization to WelcomR from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
• When a user books a parking spot for the morning only, Waldo sends an authorization from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
• When a user books a parking spot for the afternoon only, Waldo sends an authorization from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

🔐 Data shared with WelcomR

Waldo sends the user's badge number, email and Azure ID of the user to the WelcomR system.
