How do I check in attendees at my event?
Organizers and co-hosts can check people in at the door right from FetLife. Using check-in is optional.
To open the check-in page:
- Go to your event and press "Manage"
- On the "Attendees" tab, press "Check In Attendees" ("Check In" on phones)
The check-in page opens in a new tab, so you can keep it open on a phone or tablet at the door. It lists everyone who RSVPed "Going" or "Interested" and keeps a running count of how many people have checked in. You can filter the list by "All", "Going", or "Interested".
Check someone in
- By name: Use "Search attendees" to find the person, then press "Check In" next to their name.
- By ticket: Press "Scanner" and point your camera at the QR code on the attendee's ticket. You'll need to allow camera access in your browser. You can also scan a ticket with your phone's camera app, which opens the check-in page with that attendee.
If you checked in the wrong person, open the menu on their row and choose "Remove check-in".
You can also add a private note about an attendee from their row. This is the same private note you can add on their profile, and only you can see it.
Tickets
Everyone who RSVPed "Going" gets a ticket with a QR code on the event page. See Where do I find my event ticket?
Privacy
Check-ins are never shown publicly. Only the organizer and co-hosts can see who has checked in. Check-in times are included when you export the guest list.
