Paper Lists Are Over
We have released event check-in through the TidyHQ mobile interface. Pull up the event on your phone or tablet. See the attendee list. Tap a name when they arrive. Done.
Attendance is recorded against the member's profile. After the event, you have a clean record of who came - no deciphering handwriting, no data entry from paper into a spreadsheet.
How It Works
Open the event in TidyHQ on your phone. You see the list of registered attendees. As each person arrives, tap their name. A green tick confirms check-in. For walk-ins, add them on the spot.
The check-in works on any smartphone or tablet. No app to download - it runs in the browser.
Why Attendance Data Matters
Event attendance is one of the strongest predictors of member engagement. Members who attend events are more likely to renew. Members who stop attending are at risk of lapsing.
With digital check-in, this data is captured automatically. Your engagement reports are accurate. Your committee can see which members are active and which are drifting.
Perfect For
AGMs where you need a verified attendance list for quorum. Training sessions where attendance must be documented. Social events where you want to track engagement. Working bees where you want to recognise who showed up.
Available Now
Event check-in is available on all TidyHQ plans. Open your next event on your phone and try it.
