neutral  Andy Watkinson: Doesn't work; English is great for inventing onomatopeic verbs (e.g. "Then just click it into place"), but it's just not on in Spanish.

i am buzzed in
se me introduce a toda prisa


Explanation:
Me hacen entrar en el edificio deprisa y corriendo...

Hace falta algo más de contexto, pero "buzz" tiene el sentido de "entrar zumbando", es decir, a toda prisa.

Saludos.

Bueno, ya lo decía yo, que el que "tiene tecla se equivecla"...

No retiro la respuesta, aunque si fuera sensato debería hacerlo...

Solo diría que la opción de que "me abren la puerta con el portero automático" implica el "buzz" aunque no se diga explícitamente. Y es idiomático.

La otra opción sería "me dan paso a través del interfono", o "suena el interfono que me permite la entrada al edificio".

En cualquier caso, más contexto siempre ayuda a evitar pifias de todo tipo...

Saludos cordiales.
