When an employee opens TrackDots and starts a session, your connected HR or ERP system automatically marks them as present for the day. No separate attendance system. No morning check-in forms.
The integration uses a webhook — TrackDots sends a notification to your system the moment session start is detected. Your system marks attendance. Done.
