Punchin is an automation tool that uses Python Selenium and Windows Task Scheduler to automatically mark attendance in ZingHR. Python Selenium is a library that allows for automating web browsers, which is used by Punchin to interact with the ZingHR website and mark attendance on behalf of the employee. Windows Task Scheduler is a built-in tool in the Windows operating system that allows for scheduling tasks to be run at specific times or on specific triggers, which is used by Punchin to schedule the attendance-marking process.

By using Python Selenium, Punchin can perform a variety of tasks such as logging into the ZingHR website, navigating to the attendance page, and marking attendance. This allows the tool to mark attendance automatically with minimal human intervention. With the help of Windows Task Scheduler, Punchin can be set up to run at specific times, such as when an employee arrives at the office in the morning or when they leave in the evening. This ensures that attendance is accurately tracked and recorded in a timely manner.

It's important to note that this requirement may limit the flexibility of using Punchin, as the attendance marking process will not run if the employee's machine is not on or not connected to the internet. This may not be suitable for employees who travel frequently or work remotely.However, Punchin can be set up to run on a dedicated machine, such as a Raspberry Pi or other low-power device, that is always on and connected to the internet. This will ensure that attendance is always marked even if the employee's machine is not on.
