# Sign in Invited Guests at an Intercom

Organizations can make sign-in more flexible with Intercom sign-in, which lets invited visitors check in directly at a Verkada intercom. This is ideal for outdoor check-ins, drivers arriving at gates, and similar use cases.

Hosts can [create an event](https://help.verkada.com/guest/configuration/guest-events) in Verkada Guest using a Guest Type configured for Intercom sign-in. After an invited visitor registers and is approved, they’ll receive a Guest Portal link where they can download a mobile wallet pass or QR code.

Visitors can scan their mobile wallet pass or QR code at the intercom on the day of the event to check in.

## Support intercom door unlock at sign-in

{% hint style="danger" %}
You need a minimum Access Control role of **Access Site Manager&#x20;*****and*** a minimum Workplace role of **Workplace Site Admin** to configure a guest type with door access.

Organizations can allow invited visitors to both sign in and unlock a door with a single QR scan at a Verkada intercom. QR code unlock at an intercom is only supported for two door mode configurations:

* **Directly to the intercom**
* **Paired to a Verkada door**

A Guest Type must be configured for [Intercom Sign-in](#h_eb0039178d) and must also be associated with a [Visit Access Type](https://app.gitbook.com/s/aaHs5RfKqv9Z49mi02cC/users-and-credentials/add-a-user-to-the-verkada-access-system/visitor-access-visit-access-type) that:

Invited visitors can unlock doors up to 30 minutes before the event starts.
