Turn every ZKTeco punch into an automated workflow.
Late arrival alerts, after-hours door alerts, daily sheets, CRM updates: build them in the no-code tool you already use.
You can drive n8n, Make, Zapier and Power Automate from a ZKTeco machine through Cams Biometrics. Receive real-time punch callbacks on a webhook URL, or use the Cams MCP server and API key inside the workflow tool, then send alerts or update other systems. The machine does not need a public IP.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a Zapier app?▾
Not yet. Native Zapier support is coming soon. Today use Webhooks by Zapier with the REST API.
Do I need a server?▾
No. The workflow tool's webhook URL can be your callback, so you do not host anything yourself.
Can a workflow add users to the machine?▾
Yes, through the REST commands such as AddUser and DisableUser, using your API key.
