The landscape of event management is continually evolving, and the Q-Code App marks our latest advancement in this area. QR codes have taken the efficacy of event management to the next level, offering convenience and efficiency in tracking attendees; making check-ins a breeze; and even allowing the collection of valuable data. This app is set to make it even easier to intelligently sync data to our event management module, ensuring seamless integration and easily allowing users to track data within ChilliDB.

If users want to manually check-in attendees, they can do so by clicking on the green 'Check' button. Once the user clicks on this button, it will change into a tick, and the status will be changed to 'Attended.'
Note: If you accidentally change the status to ‘Attended’ by mistake, you can change it back to 'Registered' by clicking on the green circle containing the tick.
Signing in with a QR Code
The QR code scan is a pivotal feature in this app, facilitating a seamless check-in process upon arrival at the event. This function is essential for recording attendees' presence, streamlining operations, and ensuring accurate record-keeping.
Step 1: Generate QR code for attendees and send it to them:
To generate a QR code for events, we have introduced a new QR Code Event mail merge token (see example below) within the Event module for email communication with event attendees. To generate this token, you need to compose an email from the event module to any contact who is registered for an event. In this email, be sure to include the new QR Code Event mail merge token. Each QR code is unique to its respective event, and you can scan it to mark the attendance of attendees. Users can compose one fixed message template in their system that includes the QR code token. They can use this template for sending emails to all registrations.
Example of a Message Template including a QR code token.
Step 2: At Event - Check-in by QR code:
To mark attendees present at an event using QR codes, click on the QR Scan logo.
Once you do this, you will be prompted to grant camera permissions. After granting the necessary permissions, you can proceed to scan the QR codes of attendees using your phone or iPad to mark their attendance at the event.
