Events iOS Release / March 2024

✨ Seat your invitees faster

When organizing big events, you usually have a team of people managing the onsite check-in during the event, but you also have people dedicated to seating down the invitees. You must seat your invitees as fast as possible to provide a high-end experience for your invitees at the entrance of the event, and have your people dedicated to seating be as efficient as possible. 

With our latest feature, you can: 

  • Look up the invitee's/guest's name
  • See what seat the invitee is assigned to
  • Visualize the invitee seat on the seating chart

And then lead your invitees to their seats in no time!

  • Check-in and sorting: After sorting by RSVP status, you can now check-in invitees.
