How to add unique checkin QR codes and scanner barcodes into an email campaign

Event organizers now have the ability to insert participants' unique confirmation QR codes and barcode scanners into an email campaign to provide an easier onsite checkin experience. This can be helpful to your participants if they have lost their original confirmation emails leading up to race weekend.

1. Login to your Race Roster account and head to your event dashboard. Follow steps 1-4 from this article outlining how to create an email campaign.

2. On the design step of your campaign, this is where you draft your email to send to your participants. From the window on the lefthand side of the screen, draft and customize the copy that you'd like to communicate in your email. 



3. Click on the merge tags button from the editing options at the top of the email design window, and search confirmation barcode image and confirmation QR code image (or just search confirmation to find all options).



4. Add the two merge tags anywhere you'd like them to appear within your email. Once you are satisfied with the contents of your email, click save & continue.



5. Indicate who will be receiving the content in step 6 of the campaign (i.e. participants already registered, all future participants, or both)

6. Review the summary in step 7 and, when ready, click send and enable campaign.

The recipients of your email will now have a copy of their checkin QR code and barcode scanner with them ready for a simplified onsite checkin experience using the mobile onsite QR code scan option, or with regular scanners using the barcode.
