Using an Event QR code - Registrations, Clock In/Out, and Check In

QR codes can be a useful way to access and clock into events. There are three ways to use QR codes to manage events: direct users to the registration screen; clock users in/out; and check users in. This article will cover each of the three use cases: 

• Event QR Code
• Clock-In QR Code
• Unique User QR Code

Event QR Code

Every event has a unique QR code that will take anyone who scans it directly to the event page. This allows users to log in and register for the event from their phone. If they are already registered, they will be able to use view their registration. The QR code can be screenshotted and emailed or printed for easy display.

5. Click the Event QR button

Clock-In QR Code

The Clock-In QR code allows users to clock themselves in for events. This function requires the user to have downloaded and logged into the GivePulse app.
