For live events, you can enable QR code functionality within the Sessions<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\n

Registrants will be sent a QR code which you can scan using StoneShot’s dedicated Event Check-In on the day of your event. You can then include this QR code in your event emails and calendar file.<\/p>\n

If you are using templates from our Template Library<\/strong> or one of the default schedules, no additional setup is required. These templates already include the necessary merge tags to automatically populate your emails with attendee QR codes.<\/p>\n

For custom email templates, you will need to manually insert the appropriate merge tags to ensure QR codes are included.<\/p>\n

Adding QR Codes to your Custom Email<\/h2>\n

To add the QR codes to your email and calendar files, you can set up a conditional statement like so.<\/p>\n

{IF:EVENT:EVENTSESSION:HASQR}<\/strong><\/p>\n

{EVENT:EVENTSESSION:QR}<\/strong> this tag should be inserted as an image in the richtext editor or within an image layout<\/em><\/p>\n

Problem seeing this QR Code? Click here links to<\/i> {EVENT:EVENTSESSION:QRCODELINK}<\/strong><\/p>\n

{\/IF}<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some email clients may not display the embedded QR codes. To account for this, we include a QR code link as a fallback. This link directs attendees to a browser-based landing page where their QR code is always accessible.<\/p>\n

Checking-In Attendees with a QR Code<\/h2>\n

On the day of your event, you can check attendees in by scanning the QR code using StoneShot’s Event Check-In.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Login to your account at events.stoneshot.com<\/strong> and navigate to the selected session.<\/li>\n
  2. Tap the Scan QR button.<\/li>\n
  3. Point your device\u2019s camera at the attendee\u2019s QR code.<\/li>\n
  4. They are instantly marked as checked in and their contact will be added to the check-in tab.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
