Step-by-step guide

6 steps

  1. 1

    Define your event structure

    Decide what information you need: attendee name, email, ticket type, dietary requirements, t-shirt size, sessions selected, and payment status. Map these out before building.

  2. 2

    Describe the app to Appaca

    Tell Appaca: "Build an event registration app with attendees (name, email, ticket type, dietary needs, check-in status, payment), a session list with capacity, a check-in view for the day of the event, and a dashboard showing total registrations, check-in progress, and capacity by session."

  3. 3

    Set up your event and sessions

    Create the event with date, venue, and capacity. Add any breakout sessions with their individual capacities and time slots.

  4. 4

    Open registrations

    Share a registration form (built in Appaca) with your audience. As people register, they appear in the attendee list automatically.

  5. 5

    Manage check-in on the day

    On event day, use the check-in view to mark each attendee as arrived. The dashboard shows real-time check-in progress and remaining attendees.

  6. 6

    Follow up after the event

    Use the attendee list to send post-event follow-ups: thank you emails, recordings, or next event announcements. Segment by ticket type or sessions attended.

Frequently asked questions

Can I handle multiple ticket types at different prices?

Can I use this for recurring events?

Yes. Create a new event record for each occurrence. Historical data from past events stays accessible for comparison.
