Business card
The digital card attendees share with each other.
What it is
A designed card built from the attendee's profile, shareable by QR, link or .vcf download. When the card shows WhatsApp or LinkedIn, the attendee can also hold up a QR that opens a WhatsApp chat or their LinkedIn profile, and the person receiving a card can tap either.
When to use it
It is the networking feature attendees notice. It is also only as good as the profile fields you decided to ask for.
Step by step
- 1
Design the cardNetworking → Business Card
Layout, colours, which fields appear. WhatsApp and LinkedIn are on by default: an attendee who has filled them in gets a WhatsApp QR and a LinkedIn QR beside Show QR. Turn either off under Fields on the card and the QR goes with it.

Check the fields exist
A card with a job title needs a job title field on the profile. The card only uses fields the attendee can see themselves — under Attendee Fields, their Show switch (under Attendee app) must be on. A standard field still waiting under Add to form — Mobile, say — has to be added first. WhatsApp number and LinkedIn profile start shown and editable, so attendees can fill them in under Edit Profile. A WhatsApp QR needs the number written with its country code (+65…), and a LinkedIn QR needs a linkedin.com link; anything else is left off rather than guessed.
When it goes wrong
Every one of these has happened to someone. Symptom first, because that is what you will have.
