Authenticating Attendees while Checking In

[Swojit Mohapatra]

Hi,
So the problem I am trying to fix is:
When we scan the QR code for checking in attendees, I'd like to check the attendee's email and see if they are part of a list of eligible attendees to attend. The list updates in real time so we might allow the attendees to check in afterwards.
What would be the best way to fix this problem? Right now, I think the best way to handle this is to get webhooks for each of the attendees using REST API, and once they check in, it triggers my script to check if they're eligible to attend, and if they aren't, we check them out and ask them to come back later. Is there an easier way to do this or an extension that already allows me to do this?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is not an out of the box solution for this. 

I think you have a good workaround for your use case. However, there isn't a way to update the barcode status via the API. I will add your name to the list of people interested in this feature but I have no way of knowing a timeline on if or when a release like this would happen.

While you can always use the web UI and the Eventbrite App to check in your attendees, I don't know if that would be the best solution for your use case.  

Best,

Nathan
