Temporary guest permissions
Create access that expires automatically instead of sharing permanent instructions or relying on last-minute buzz-ins.
Guest access app for temporary visitors, vendors, and recurring access
Manage scheduled guest entry, cleaner visits, and vendor access without replacing the building’s existing phone-based buzzer hardware.
Why Protobuzz fits
Protobuzz turns an existing phone-based buzzer system into a guest-access workflow, so temporary entry can be scheduled and tracked without a hardware replacement.
Guest access features
Cleaner and vendor scheduling
Fit recurring access to the exact windows when cleaners, dog walkers, or contractors should arrive.
Guest workflows for hosts
Handle arrivals for Airbnb guests, family visitors, and co-host-managed stays more cleanly.
Shared visibility
Residents, co-hosts, or building staff can coordinate temporary access without losing track of who created it.
Safer than open-ended sharing
Time-bound access reduces the risk of old guest privileges lingering after the visit is done.
Still works with the current buzzer
All of this can sit on top of an existing phone-based condo or apartment buzzer system.
Temporary access for guests
Guest access lets visitors, vendors, cleaners, and service providers get in without sharing permanent building access.
Protobuzz connects those temporary permissions to the same buzzer workflow residents already use, which keeps the access process coherent instead of splitting visitors into a separate tool.
Useful for short-term rentals and recurring vendors
Temporary access is useful for hosts, co-hosts, families with frequent visitors, and condo residents coordinating recurring helpers. It is less about answering the buzzer live and more about reducing manual coordination before the person even arrives.
Because Protobuzz works with existing phone-based buzzer systems, that improvement does not require a new access control installation.
Temporary access examples
Cleaner every Tuesday at noon
A recurring vendor gets access only during the scheduled service window instead of relying on a manual buzz each week.
Weekend guest arriving late
A friend reaches the building after you have already stepped out, but their access still follows the approved timing and workflow.
Airbnb guest arrival
A host creates a structured arrival flow instead of handling every building buzz manually during check-in.
Dog walker midday access
A recurring visitor gets narrow weekday entry without being able to use the same access path outside the approved hours.
How the guest access app works
Define the visitor type
Create the temporary access rule based on whether the person is a guest, cleaner, vendor, or recurring service provider.
Set the time and controls
Choose the approved window and connect the access to the existing buzzer workflow so residents or staff stay in control.
Review what happened
Check whether the access was used, which unlock event occurred, and whether any manual intervention was required.
