Can attendance be tracked in real time?

**Can attendance be tracked in real time?**

✅ YES — Certain can track attendance in real time.

Short answer

- Certain’s Event Intelligence uses streaming/real-time delivery so signals (check‑ins, session attendance, content downloads) can reach CRM and collaboration tools in seconds or minutes rather than hours or days.

How it works (high level)

- In-person: Touchpoint supports QR/badge scanning (Lead Code → QR) for session check‑ins; scans are processed immediately when check‑ins are enabled on the Agenda and by authorized users.

- End‑to‑end: Check‑ins and session attendance feed into Certain’s platform and Event Intelligence, which can push real‑time notifications (Slack/Teams), update CRM records, and trigger marketing automation workflows.

- Requirements: enable Agenda check‑ins, include Lead Code in attendee upload/badges, deputize staff to scan, and configure integrations (native Salesforce/Marketo/HubSpot/Eloqua connectors or APIs) for immediate propagation.
