Get started

Get started: ready for your first visitor in under 10 minutes

A new project walks you through six steps, from how you will use GuestTrack to your first real visitor. Most projects are ready in under 10 minutes, with no hardware and nothing for visitors to install.

  1. 1 Tell us how you will use it
  2. 2 Confirm the check-in form
  3. 3 Create a QR code and test it as a visitor
  4. 4 Put it where visitors arrive
  5. 5 Add a check-in point for every door
Step 1

Tell us how you will use it

A new project opens on Get started. Pick what check-in is for: an office and reception, a community club, a contractor site, an event, or a warehouse gate. Then say how often people come, whether guests register before they arrive, and whether you need to know when they leave.

  • Your homepage and suggested fields follow your choice
  • Nothing here limits what you can do later
Step 1 of Get started: choose Office and reception, Community and clubs, Contractor and site, Event, or Warehouse and logistics gate
Step 2

Confirm the check-in form

Name and contact number are asked of every visitor. GuestTrack suggests the rest for your kind of site, such as who they are visiting, a declaration and a signature at an office, or a licence and an ID check at a gate. Turn each one on or off, or add your own question.

  • 14 kinds of question, from a tick box to a photo upload
  • Show-if rules, sections and help text in Check-in Setup
See the check-in form
Step 2 of Get started: the check-in form with Full Name and Contact Number required, and switches for who they are visiting, a visitor declaration and a signature
Step 3

Create a QR code and test it as a visitor

Name your entry point, such as Front entrance, and choose a printed QR code or a Welcome Screen on a tablet. Then fill in your real form, on the page or on your own phone, and watch the check-in arrive. The test is kept apart and you can delete it straight away.

  • See exactly what your visitors will see
  • No visitor app, no hardware
Step 4 of Get started: the QR code for Front entrance next to the real check-in form, ready for a test check-in
Step 4

Put it where visitors arrive

Download an A4 QR poster with your project name, copy the check-in link for emails, calendar invites and your website, or open the Welcome Screen on a tablet at reception. Get started finishes when your first real visitor checks in, and from then on your homepage is Today.

  • Pick a plan when you are ready, or stay on the free trial
  • Progress saves as you go

Step 5

Add a check-in point for every door

A check-in point is a place people check in at: a front door, a loading dock, a gate or a site office. Each one has its own QR code, address and manager, and decides how people check in there: on the web page, or in the GuestTrack Check In app with a check that they are really on site.

  • Unlimited check-in points on every plan
  • Download every QR code in one PDF
  • Records show which point each visitor used

Then make it yours in Check-in Setup

  • Check-out, four ways

    Visitors tap Check Out on their confirmation or email, on the Welcome Screen, or scan a check-out QR code. Staff can check anyone out from Today or Visitor Records.

  • Auto check-out

    Forgot to check out? Check people out after a set time, at the same time every day, or at a time you choose. On paid plans.

  • Tell the host

    When a visitor answers who they are visiting, that person gets an email as they arrive. Reception or security can get one for every arrival.

  • Show something after check-in

    Open a site induction PDF or a web page as soon as someone has checked in.

  • Your logo on every page

    Your logo shows on the visitor pages and the QR codes, and the QR code takes your colours.

  • A kiosk from any tablet

    The Welcome Screen runs in the browser on an iPad, an Android tablet or a phone, with an admin PIN to leave it.
