Usage
The initial page of the addon helps you setup the sheet where you have your event registration data. We expect it to have headers on the first line, and a line for each attendee.
When you initialize the addon with the sheet containing your attendee data, it will transparently configure an app on our QR code tracking platform for you. This step is based on the columns on your sheet. Therefore, make sure your attendee data has all needed columns and some attendee data.
From the Actions tab, you can click on “Generate QR codes” every time you add new attendees, and tracking columns will be automatically filled for you. One will link to the QR pass for this attendee.
From the same Actions tab, you can access the check-in app using various alternatives, either in the same browser or on your smartphone. You can even add a different account for a coworker, so you can tell after event which attendees were checked-in by which coworker.
You can send the QR code tickets to your attendees using the email sections of the “Actions” tab. Simply provide a title and a body, and emails will be sent using your own email as sender. Paying customers can send the rest of the tickets using our server, when their daily email quota set by Gmail runs out. Depending on your account type (free Gmail or Google workspace subscription), your daily limit is typically 100 or 1500.
At your event, you can scan a group of QR code passes, by showing them to the camera one after another, in quick succession. For the default check-in, you don’t need to enter any additional data. Currently, we derive the title on QR passes from name fields in your form, and the subtitle is the project name. These (and the design) can easily be changed on the “Settings” tab.
In the add-on, you have access to several reports (people registered but not checked in, people checked in, etc.), which you can export to Excel. You can download all QR passes here. This is handy if you need to print them for your attendees (though you can directly scan the PDF on their phone to avoid printing).
Use cases
Here are some example use cases:
- Your institution, non-profit or company is hosting a conference (with multiple sessions, etc.), fair, meetup, gala, night-club concert, etc. You need to check the e-tickets / passes / access cards for one or multiple conferences / fairs / meetups / galas / concerts.
- You received RSVPs for your marriage, birthday party, private sale, etc. and need to send a stylish venue access code for each RSVP.

Post-install tips
Make sure you already have a sheet with some attendee data, with headers on the first line. Subsequently, select that sheet in the configuration to setup QR code pass generation.
We automatically build labels on the QR code pass PDF from questions with “name” in their title, or the first question in the form.
After initialization, click the “Generate missing attendee codes” to test QR pass generation, and click the links added to the sheet to download the pass.

How do I record attendance per event session?

How do I customize the design of the PDF QR code ticket?
The card can be customized on the “Settings” tab, under “Ticket design”.

How can I get attendance data in Google Sheets?
Once you generate QR code tickets, the add-on provides adds a special column that loads check-in status for each row. This is refreshed every time you open the spreadsheet.

How do I enable camera access for the check-in app?
