Check-in

Check-in is a screen built for one job: marking people as arrived, fast, on whatever device the person at the door is holding.

Open it with Open Check-In on the event dashboard, or go directly to the event’s /checkin URL.

The event check-in screen with a search box and a list of attendees, each with a check-in button
Search, tap, done.
  1. Search for them — by name, email, or confirmation number.
  2. Tap Check in.

The count updates immediately, and it’s shared: several people can run check-in at once on different devices and see the same state.

Every checked-in attendee has an undo action. Use it when you tap the wrong row, which happens on a busy door.

Someone who turns up without registering isn’t in the list. Two options:

  • Register them on the spot through the public registration page, then check them in.
  • Take their details on paper and add them afterwards, either as a registration or straight into Contacts.

The first keeps your numbers right on the night; the second keeps the queue moving. Pick based on how long the line is.

The event dashboard shows checked in and check-in percentage live, so you know your actual attendance against your registration count.

That gap — registered versus turned up — is one of the more useful numbers you can carry into planning the next event.
