OnArrival
OnArrival Team Members
The OnArrival Team Members feature streamlines onsite operations by letting planners assign roles to approved attendees without creating account-level users. Team Members get secure, event-specific access to the OnArrival app via a login link or QR code.
Why did we build this?
To eliminate the need for time-consuming account-level user creation for temporary staff. It simplifies onboarding, limits access to a single event, and enhances security, allowing planners to stay focused on execution while maintaining control.
What do you need to know?
Assign Team Member roles directly to accepted attendees without creating account-level users, simplifying setup.
Team Members get access only to their assigned event, enhancing data security and control.
Secure login links can be shared via email, QR code, or direct link, and are valid for 30 days or until first use.
