Connect an Access System to Seam

Learn how to connect your access system to Seam.

You can use Seam Console or the Seam API to connect your access system to Seam. You use a Connect Webview to authorize the connection.

Connect an Access System Using Seam Console

1. Log in to Seam Console.

2. In the upper-left corner, click the workspace switcher and select or create a workspace.

   To connect a real access system to Seam, use a production workspace. To use one of Seam's virtual access systems, use a sandbox workspace.

   

   Use the Seam Console workspace switcher to switch between workspaces and create new workspaces.
3. In the top navigation pane, click ACS Systems.

4. On the Access Systems page, click New Access System.

   Seam Console displays a Connect Webview that enables you to connect your access system to Seam.

5. In the Connect Webview, follow the prompts to authorize the connection.

   

   Use a Connect Webview to connect your access system to Seam.

   If you want to connect a virtual access system to a sandbox workspace, use the corresponding sandbox access system credentials.

   To connect a real access system, see the system integration guide for your ACS to learn any brand- or system-specific prerequisites, requirements, and restrictions.

The Access Systems page now displays the newly-connected access control system.
