Check People into Your Event from Your Tablet check-people-into-your-event-from-your-tablet

When people show up at your event, you can find their information on the app. After check-in, they’re promoted to Attended status when you sync to Marketo.

IMPORTANT
On October 2, 2023, Adobe removed the Marketo Events App from all App Stores. If you already have the app installed on your tablet/mobile device, you can continue using it for the time being. Once your Marketo Engage instance is migrated to Adobe Identity for authentication of Marketo, you will no longer be able to access the app. Learn more.

The app works the same on both iPad and Android, except for minor layout and design differences.

  6. Tap the selected name, and on the person record, tap Check-in.

The guest now has an Attended status, and receives a check mark. The person record is updated when you sync with Marketo. The red counter on the Sync button increments to show the number of check-ins since the last sync with Marketo. The Sync button looks different and is in a different location for iPad and Android:

TIP
If a person is invited but hasn’t registered, you can search for the name by clicking Search on Server, just below the Search box. The Invited status changes to Attended for the event.

Create a New Person on the Tablet create-a-new-person-on-the-tablet

You can manually add guests who aren’t existing people in your Marketo database. They’ll be automatically checked in and added to your Database when you sync with Marketo.

  1. Click Add.

    iPad

    Android

  2. Complete as many of the basic information fields as you can and tap Done.

    note note
    NOTE
    You can only use the existing fields. You can’t create custom ones.
    note caution
    CAUTION
    Double-check the email address. Other fields can be corrected later, but the email address is the primary method for contacting the guest.

The new person is registered as checked in to your event, and will be added to the Marketo database with Attended status when you sync to Marketo.

Reverse a Check-In reverse-a-check-in

If you checked in a person by mistake, before you synced with Marketo, you can reverse the Attended status.

  1. Tap the name in the list, and in the person record, tap Undo.

    All fixed!

Edit a Person Record at Check-In edit-a-person-record-at-check-in

You can add and modify guest information, right at the event!

  1. Tap the name in the people list and tap Edit.

  2. Edit and add information to the fields, then tap Done.

    note note
    NOTE
    In Android, the Done button may be hidden. Scroll down to find it.

The information will be updated when you sync the app with Marketo.

Sync the App with Marketo sync-the-app-with-marketo

The Marketo Events app works independently until you sync your activity back to the Marketo Database. It’s best to sync as soon as possible after the last check-in. Your tablet must be connected to the Internet.

CAUTION
After you sync, you can’t reverse a check-in from the app.
  1. On your tablet, open the app and navigate to your event.

  2. Tap Sync.

    Your event is updated with new check-ins in the Marketo database. The red counter on the Sync button clears, until you check someone else in.

    For security reasons, you should quit the Marketo Events app after you’re done syncing.

Working with Limited Internet Access working-with-limited-internet-access

Some venues have lousy Internet access. You need a good connection to:

  • Download and install the app
  • Log in
  • Select an event
  • Sync the app with Marketo

If you’re concerned about Internet access at the venue, you may want to log in to the Marketo Events app and select your event in advance, at a location with strong Internet access. That way, you still can use the app offline. Then, when you regain an Internet connection, sync right away to the Marketo database.

TIP
If you don’t have an Internet connection, you still can create a new person for a person checking in. It’ll reconcile with the existing person when you sync the app.
NOTE
The app automatically logs you out after eight hours of inactivity.
