What’s new in Envoy for November 2023

We’re thrilled to announce that Envoy now provides emergency notifications for employees and visitors. Envoy provides leaders with everything they need to run their workplace in one integrated platform, and emergency notifications furthers our vision for centralizing workplace safety and security. We’ve also made critical improvements for admins, including space management enhancements with contextual data.

New improvements for workplace management

View your past and upcoming schedule on mobile

Employees on iOS devices can now see an update in their schedule view in Envoy mobile. See which days you’re scheduled to come in, which days you’ve previously checked in, and which coworkers have scheduled to come onsite. Learn more.

‍Available on all Workplace plans.

Leverage attendance insights for proactive space management

View average attendance data by employee while editing the workplace map. Admins can act on attendance data in the context of optimizing their spaces. For example, Envoy will ask admins if they want to assign desks to employees who come in an average of 3 or more days a week. Learn more.

Streamline building access for employees who don't have their badge

Automatically grant secure building access to employees who visit from another site, are permanently remote, or forget their badge at home.

This feature is currently supported by LenelS2 Netbox and C-CURE 9000 access control integrations. Learn more.  

Available for tenants in buildings with Envoy Connect. Interested in Connect for your building? Email us.
