Manage event registration, QR check-in, and attendance in one system

Emails QR entry passes before the event, checks students in by scanning, and reports who didn't show up.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each registered student.

Pattern: Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

You spend hours manually emailing entry passes, checking names off a list at the door, and chasing down who actually showed up afterward. Long entry lines and messy spreadsheets make even a well-planned event feel chaotic.

Who it fits

University departments, clubs, or event organizers running on-campus events with registered attendees.

How it works

  1. Before the event, student details are pulled from a Google Sheet and a QR entry pass is emailed to each registrant
  2. At the door, organizers scan each QR code
  3. The system checks the code against the sheet and marks the student as attended
  4. After the event, organizers message the bot to get a list of everyone who didn't attend
What you get

Events run smoothly without paper check-in lists

Registered students receive a QR entry pass by email, get checked in instantly at the door, and you get a clear list of who didn't show up.

What you get

Automatic entry validation at the door and a follow-up list of no-shows for outreach.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Gmail account, and a Telegram bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
