Can I communicate with my visitors through this system?

Behind the scenes, we’ve built a powerful system that administrators can use to communicate with visitors via text message. Text individual visitors, certain visitor types, or everyone currently checked in at your facility!

How does LobbyFox work?

The LobbyFox check-in kiosk couldn’t be easier to use. When a visitor arrives at your facility, the kiosk instructs them to check in by using the touchscreen. LobbyFox asks them who they are, who they’re with, who they’re there to see, and what the nature of their visit is. At that point, a name badge is automatically printed for the guest, and their host (the employee they’re there to see) is notified via email, text, or both that they have a visitor in the lobby.

Is there an additional fee to be able to use the LobbyFox employee texting feature?

No! This feature is included with every subscription and could even replace a third-party texting platform.

What are some examples of how to use text blasts?

Text blasts can be used to share information such as company announcements, reminders, birthdays, goal completion etc. See the Employee Engagement page for more information.

Who has access to send text messages through the kiosk?

Only kiosk administrators have access to send text messages through the kiosk. We recommend that admins bookmark the kiosk login on all of their devices so they can reach it as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency.
