Imagine getting an instant message on your phone every time an employee punches in or out — without checking the dashboard. SmartBioTime’s Telegram integration makes this possible, keeping managers informed in real time from anywhere in the world.
How It Works
SmartBioTime connects to the Telegram Bot API. When an employee scans their fingerprint on a ZKTeco device, the attendance event is processed instantly and a formatted notification is sent to your designated Telegram group or channel.
What the Notification Includes
- Employee name and code
- Punch type: Check In or Check Out
- Exact timestamp
- Device name and location
- Late status (if applicable)
Setting Up Telegram Alerts
- Create a Telegram bot via @BotFather and get your bot token
- Add the bot to your attendance group or channel
- In SmartBioTime: go to Telegram Settings → enter bot token + chat ID
- Enable notifications — done!
Perfect For
- Remote managers overseeing multiple sites in the UAE
- HR teams who need to act on late arrivals immediately
- Business owners who want visibility without logging into a dashboard
- Security supervisors monitoring access in real time
