This feature allows supporters to sign up for a scheduled event by scanning a unique QR code that takes them directly to the public event signup page.
To generate the QR code for your event, navigate to the public event signup page and select Share QR Code from the sharing options under the signup form.
This will open a panel that shows the QR code and the link that the QR code points to. Additionally, you'll see a Download PNG button that allows you to download a high-resolution PNG ready for flyers, posters, and clipboards.
When a supporter scans the QR code, they'll be redirected to the event signup page to complete the signup form.
FAQs
What kind of events and actions can this feature be used for?
The event signup QR code is only available for scheduled events, in-person or virtual. This feature is not available for any other action, including anytime actions, petitions, pledges, interest forms, fundraising campaigns, or groups.
How does this feature work with events with multiple timeslots?
One QR code will be generated for each event. When supporters scan the code and arrive at the event signup page, they can pick the timeslot(s) they want to sign up for.
Can I track signups that come from the QR code?
No, it is not currently possible to add tracking analytics to the QR code or otherwise attribute the QR code as the source for signups. We will consider supporting this in the future.
Is this the same as the QR code for self check-in?
No, this is a different QR code! Scanning the self check-in code takes supporters to a check-in page for a specific timeslot in order to mark their signup status as Completed; scanning this code takes supporters to the event signup page.
Can I turn off the QR code sharing option?
No, along with the other sharing options, the QR code option cannot be turned off. It is automatically available on all scheduled events, including events whose visibility is set to Private.
