Hello! I’m setting up a community coworking space and would like to have a simple tap in/tap out system so we can log who’s visiting the space, how long folks are staying, and how the space is being used.
My idea is to use NFC tags with unique webhook payload information stuck on cards that when tapped on a reader near the entrance, a webhook is fired into Airtable with the unique information about that tag. Within airtable we’d then set it to log the taps and workout if someone is ‘in’ or ‘out’ (with the ability to override of course).
My questions:
- Does this seem like the best approach or would anyone suggest a different way to go about it? I’ve searched the forums and aside from some discussion around RFID I haven’t seen anyone talk about setting things up this way.
- If so, what’s the best way to configure the webhook to fire when the NFC tag is tapped? We’ll be using an office PC with an external reader, and I’m not sure what the best route is to go from ‘tap’ to ‘webhook fired’.
Any feedback welcomed!! Thanks :)
