ACS Sync Settings


The ACS Sync settings section allows the property Administrator to tune settings which govern how access control system data is managed by LiftOff. These parameters are:

  • Automatic Invitations

    When this setting is enabled, an Email Code will be sent to the user on the basis of the email address in the access control system upon synchronization. If disabled, no email is sent, unless the Administrator or Approver taps the Email icon on the ACS Users panel.

  • Email Frequency

    This value, measured in minutes, determines how long LiftOff should give the user to enter the Email Code into the mobile application before sending a follow-up email. The default is one day.

  • Max Attempts

    This value determines the number of times LiftOff will automatically send an Email Code to an access control system user's email address before giving up. The default is 5.

  • From, Subject, and Body

    These three input fields indicate the content that is emailed to the user when the Email Code is sent. The From and Subject fields send the content as plaintext, whereas the Body field sends the content as HTML.

Before sending, LiftOff substitutes the following variables with their corresponding values. These variables can be entered anywhere within the content of the From, Subject, or Body fields, enclosed by angle brackets:

  • <APPNAME>. Used to indicate the mobile application name (e.g.: LiftOff).

  • <BUILDING>. Used to indicate the name of the building.

  • <FIRSTNAME>. Used to indicate the first name of the user.

  • <CODE>. Used to indicate the Email Code the user should enter.
