New to EntriScan? This guide walks you through everything, from creating your first event to tracking attendance with QR codes.
Welcome to EntriScan! This guide will walk you through the basics so you can start tracking attendance in minutes.
What is EntriScan?
EntriScan is an event attendance platform. You create events, share a check-in link or QR code, and attendees check themselves in by entering their name on the check-in page. No app download required, no hardware needed.
Step 1: Create an account
Go to entriscan.com and sign up for a free account. The Free plan lets you create unlimited events. No credit card required.
Step 2: Create your first event
From your dashboard, go to Events and click New Event. Fill in:
- Event name: what attendees will see on the check-in page
- Date and time: when the event starts
- Recurrence: one-time, daily, weekly, or a custom schedule
Save the event. You'll land on the event detail page.
Step 3: Share the check-in link
Each event has its own check-in page with a unique URL. From the event detail page you can:
- Print the QR code: post it at the entrance so attendees can scan and go straight to the check-in page
- Copy the link: share it via email, messaging, or embed it anywhere
- Download the QR as an image to use in print materials
Attendees open the check-in page (by scanning the QR or tapping the link) and type their name. The system finds or creates their record automatically.
Step 4: Manage members
Go to Members in your dashboard to see everyone who has checked in. People are automatically added as guests the first time they check in. You can promote them to members and organize them from this page.
To manually add a check-in record, go to Attendance → Entries and use the New entry button. You can select an existing member or create a new one inline.
Step 5: View attendance
After the event, go to Attendance → Entries to see who checked in and when. Switch to the Events tab for a per-event summary, or the Members tab to see total check-ins per person over time. You can export any view to CSV from the attendance page.
That's it
