About this task
The Badge Reader Integration application is a framework enabling other applications, such as Walk-up Experience, to integrate with badge reader hardware. Administrators configure and manage badge reader clients and integrations by linking badge scanners to walk-up locations and ensuring there is mapping between badge ID numbers and the reader.
Developers can extend the badge scanning framework to trigger actions in other applications based on a badge scan event. The Badge Reader Integration application does not require customization, but is customizable to respond to unique badge system hardware.
