Events & sign-ups

Run an event, from sign-up to check-in

An event is a public page people book onto, plus a check-in screen for the day itself. Here is how a branch meeting or a 200-person rally goes from a blank event form to a checked-in room, with every sign-up landing in your supporter database.

01

Set the essentials

Give the event a title, date and start time. Those three are required, everything else is optional. Choose in-person and add the location, or virtual and a meeting link you can add later. Tick the accessibility box and describe step-free access or a hearing loop if either applies.

02

Decide how attendees arrive

Set a maximum if the room has one. Issue attendee QR codes so each confirmation email carries a code ready for scanning on the door. Allow guests with an optional cap per attendee, and leave walk-ins on unless the room is capacity-limited, in which case turn that switch off.

03

Publish and watch sign-ups come in

Once the page is live, Analytics charts sign-ups by day and by source, Attendees lists everyone with their answers and exports to CSV, and tracking links show which channel brought people in.

04

Build your check-in team

Search for a person and add them to the team, they can open the check-in screen on their own phone with no organiser access needed. For a helper with no account, generate a one-time QR access code, it opens the check-in screen for that event only and expires at the end of the day.

05

Check people in on the day

Scan a QR code and someone is checked in the moment it is read, or search and tap a name to check them in by hand. Add a walk-in with a first name and email if they turn up without booking. A running count of checked in against booked sits at the top throughout.

What to check
  • Title, date and start time are the only required fields, so a first event is publishable in minutes.
  • Every sign-up becomes a supporter record with consent captured at registration, ready to reach again by door-knock, phone or post.
  • Allow walk-ins is on by default. Turn it off if the room has a hard capacity limit.
  • QR check-in carries no charge per ticket, whether the room holds 20 people or 200.
