SISTEM INFORMASI PRESENSI SISWA BERBASIS RFID TERINTEGRASI WEB DENGAN NOTIFIKASI API WHATSAPP

The aim of this research is to develop a web-based student attendance system at SMA Islam Sabilillah Malang that is more efficient and accessible in real-time. SMA Islam Sabilillah Malang is one of the leading high schools in Malang City, managed by LPI Sabilillah Malang. Currently, it uses the Fingerspot Revo W-202BNC fingerprint machine for student attendance. However, this system still has several drawbacks, such as fingerprint detection failures that require manual attendance processes. Additionally, attendance recapitulation is still semi-automatic and not available in real-time.
The new system to be designed and developed is a web-based application system using the CodeIgniter 4.0 framework and MySQL database, and it integrates the Fingerspot Revo W-202BNC machine SDK to send attendance data to the application server in real-time. This system is also equipped with a notification feature by integrating the WhatsApp API to send real-time attendance notifications to parents. The research was conducted using the waterfall methodology. From the tests conducted, this research greatly assists in improving the efficiency of student attendance management, making the attendance process more practical and effective. Additionally, the feature of sending attendance notifications to parents' WhatsApp numbers automatically greatly helps parents in monitoring their children's attendance.
