What is Events
Run workshops, classes and openings at set times, take bookings, and check people in on the day.
Events runs anything that happens at a set time and place, and records who came. In Studio, each event is an Activity touchpoint in a campaign.
What you can do with it
| You want to | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Run sessions on set dates or every week | Dates and slots | Pottery every Saturday in October |
| Cap how many people come | Ticket capacity per slot | 12 children per session |
| Take bookings in advance | Booking and Check-In | Families reserve a place |
| Offer different places | Several tickets | "Child place" and "Accompanying adult" |
| Check people in at the door | The Event Host App | Hosts scan tickets on a tablet |
| Reward attendance | A badge, or a campaign reward | A "Little Potter" badge after check-in |
Two choices shape every event
Does the event take bookings? Choose Booking and Check-In when people reserve first, or Check-In Only when they just turn up.
Who checks people in? Choose SELF when attendees check in on their own phone, or SCAN when hosts scan their tickets.
| SELF | SCAN | |
|---|---|---|
| Check-In Only | Walk-in photo booth: attendees check in from the event page | Staffed sampling stand: hosts scan attendees in |
| Booking and Check-In | Timed yoga class: attendees book, then check in themselves | Workshop or VIP session: attendees book, hosts scan the ticket |
A first event is quickest as Check-In Only with SELF: no tickets, booking emails or host devices to prepare.
When Events fits
Use Events when the experience happens at set times, when capacity matters, or when you need to know who attended. You then get reports on bookings, check-ins and no-shows.
If nobody needs a time, a place or a check-in, a game or a simple page is quicker to launch.
