Contactless sign in
Contactless sign in allows visitors to sign in using their personal smartphone device, simply by scanning the secure QR code displayed on screen. Present guests with the full sign in experience, customised for their visitor type, including group specific messages, PDFs and videos. Ask your visitors to complete the information you need to ensure their safety on site, while capturing signatures, photos and any other important information. Contactless sign in doesn't require your guests to install a separate app and is a fully customisable, secure, no-touch option for any industry.
Using any smartphone camera, visitors can scan the secure QR code from your welcome screen, giving them the option to launch their web browser and complete the sign in process. When your guest is ready to leave, they can tap the sign out button on the same web page.
Launch Contactless sign in
When a visitor arrives, they need to initiate the sign in process by opening the camera on their smartphone and scanning the Contactless QR code on the Sign In App Welcome screen. This gives them the option to launch a web browser and begin the sign in process.
Tip: If you don't have the option to scan QR codes from your smartphone, simply visit 'm.signin.app' using your phone's web browser. This will give you the option to open a camera in your web browser and scan the Contactless QR.
Sign in fields and notices
Your guest will be asked to complete any sign in fields, agree to Notices (including documents and videos) and have a photo taken if applicable. Contactless sign in supports all of the customisation options you've set for each visitor group.
Pre-registrations
Contactless sign in also supports visitor pre-registrations. With Contactless sign in enabled, pre-register visitors as you normally would. Your visitor will receive an email with some additional options.
From the invitation email, tapping the Sign In button will launch the smartphone camera for a security check. Your guest will then scan the QR code on the iPad's welcome screen and their details will be automatically populated. When your guest is ready to leave, they can tap the Sign Out option on the invitation email.
Sign out
In order to sign out just tap the button on the web browser or scan the Contactless QR code again and any sign out fields will be asked. Once you've completed this, your Contactless sign in is complete!
Important: If the visitor has been pre-registered they will sign out via the link on their pre-registration invitation email.
