Seamless Digital Key Integration
With the Akia + FLEXIPASS integration, guests receive their digital room key delivered directly where they already communicate — SMS, WhatsApp, or email. FLEXIPASS transmits its secure Webkey link (or Wallet/Mobile Key if configured) via Akia's automated messaging, so there's no need for guests to download another app simply to receive their key.
How Guests Receive Their Digital Keys
Automatic delivery: Upon booking or arrival, Akia delivers a FLEXIPASS message with the guest's digital key.
One tap to open: The guest taps/swipes the link or Wallet card and the door opens — instant, contactless entry.
Flexible channels: Keys can be distributed through SMS, WhatsApp, or email as per the guest's preference.
Insert anywhere: Webkeys may be used in any web browser or public-facing web application, so keys may be inserted into your confirmation of booking, Akia message, or tenant/guest portal.
Secure & temporary: Keys are encrypted and constrained to a time frame; they may be retracted or renewed in real-time from your PMS or FLEXIPASS console.
