Your first event in 15 minutes
Start from a template, set up one check-in event, publish it and try it on your phone.
You'll make a Check-In Only event, the quickest kind: no tickets or booking emails to set up.
Create the campaign
-
In Templates, find an events template under Featured, Shared or Local, then select View Actions.
-
Select Create Campaign.
-
Enter the Campaign Title.
Studio fills in the Campaign Public Key, which becomes part of the event link. Change it if you like.
-
Choose the Language.
-
Choose the Timezone.
The timezone sets the times attendees and staff see.
-
Select Generate Campaign. The new campaign opens.
Set up the event
-
In Build > Touchpoints, select Configure on the Activity.
No Activity in your template? Add one.
-
In the General tab, check the template's banner, Title and Subtitle.
-
In the Slots tab, choose Check-In Only under Event Type.
-
Under Dates in the Slots tab, set one date inside the campaign dates, with its Start time and End time.
Use the Slots tab, not the Dates tab, which limits when the whole Activity is open. To try it today, set today's date and a time range that covers now. Before the start time, the page says Check-in will start and nobody can check in yet. Change it to the real date once you've tested.
-
Under Check-in, set Check-in Method to SELF, so attendees check themselves in.
-
Select Save.
Publish and try it
-
Select Publish.
-
In the window, select Publish again.
-
In Touchpoints, select Preview on the Activity.
-
Scan the QR code with your phone.
On your phone, you'll see the event page. Tick the terms, select Check-In Now, and sign in with your email. During the event's hours, select Start Check In.
