How it works

💡

Please note: The information provided here is based on a WiP version, and is liable to change prior to the final release.

Android / iOS Apps: For attendees

Attendees can access their QR code (or scan another attendee’s QR code) directly from the people tab, by tapping on the “QR” icon located next in the top right corner..

The QR code modal will open in the “My Code” sub-tab. Attendees can then can tap on their own QR code to zoom in and make it easy for a sponsor or other attendee to scan it.
If they visit the “Scan QR Code” sub-tab, the app will use their camera to scan another attendee’s QR code.

💡

Scanning a QR code is an intuitive and easy way for attendees to connect with other attendees. It empowers them to book a meeting or send the other attendee a chat message with a single click — no searching / scrolling through the people tab needed!

Android / iOS Apps: For sponsors

Sponsors can access their own QR code (or scan another attendee’s QR code) directly from the people tab, by tapping on the “QR” icon located next in the top right corner..

The QR code modal will open in the “My Code” sub-tab. Sponsors can then can tap on their own QR code to zoom in and make it easy for a sponsor or other attendee to scan it.
If they visit the “Scan QR Code” sub-tab, the app will use their camera to scan an attendee’s QR code.

💡

Scanning a QR code allows a sponsor to add notes to that particular lead, or directly book a meeting or initiate a chat — turning Brella into a powerful, intuitive and fast lead capture tool on the event floor.

Sponsor Admin Panel: View leads & data

Sponsors can view the captured leads (and other engagement data) directly from their Sponsor Admin Panels.

Any notes saved by representatives will also be visible here.

Admin Panel: Customize terminology & assign custom colors based on user-group

Event organizers will be able to customize the word used to refer to “contacts”. For example, they could call them “leads”, “prospects”, “participants” etc.

In addition, organizers can assign custom colors to each user group — the custom colors will be displayed just above attendees’ QR codes as a colored strip (yellow in the example below), followed by the name of the user group.
