Why These configuration Matter

• For Admins: Full control over password security and guest communication, ensuring a seamless and secure experience.

The admin must assign smart locks to their respective rooms, enabling guests to unlock their rooms using a password generated at the time of booking.

• When a guest books a room, and the booking is confirmed, the system creates a secure password for the assigned room.
• The password can be sent to the guest automatically via email.
• Alternatively, the hotel admin can choose to send the email manually.
• The password is valid only for the guest’s stay duration, ensuring security and convenience.

For Admin

• Log in to your QloApps Admin Panel
• Navigate to Orders and select the specific order number

• Scroll down the order details page to find the ASSA ABLOY Lock Password section
• Here Admin can see the password for that assigned room.

• Additionally, Admins can also regenerate the password and send it directly to the guest via email.
  • Send Mail: This option allows the admin to send the room password for a specific room to the guest via email.
  • Send All Room Passwords: This option enables the admin to send passwords for all rooms associated with the guest in a single email.

For Guest

• Once the booking is confirmed, the guest will receive the room password via email

Here you see the screenshot of the email.
