You’ll see all events that an admin has marked as Available in Lead Capture App.
-
Tap the event you’re working to open it.
This ensures all captured leads are automatically attributed to the correct event inside HubSpot.

A list of leads you’ve already captured

Their synced status

Quick access to edit or resend details if needed
Step 3: Choose How to Capture a Lead
Tap the More button to choose from three capture options:
1. Scan Badge (Camera)
Use your phone’s camera to snap a photo of an attendee’s badge.
2. Upload Badge Photos
If you already captured badge images earlier, upload them from your camera roll.
3. Manual Entry
For attendees without badges or if scanning isn't possible, enter lead details manually.
Step 4: Capture a Lead (Example: Badge Scan)
-
Tap the bottom-right button to take a photo.
-
Capture the badge image.
-
Review and confirm that the photo looks good.
-
event·hapily automatically extracts information from the badge, such as:
-
Email
-
Name
-
Title
-
Company
(Even if not all fields were printed on the badge)
-
While the app processes the badge, add your context and notes.
Step 5: Add Follow-Up Details & Notes
After scanning, you can enrich the lead with fully customizable fields, such as:
-
Notes / What We Discussed
-
Lead Type (e.g., Prospect, Customer, Partner)
-
Lead Priority (e.g., High Intent)
-
Next Steps (e.g., Book a Demo, Follow-Up Call)
These fields are configured by your Admin in Lead Capture Settings.
Step 6 (Optional): Override or Correct Extracted Information
If any information needs adjusting (e.g., email spelling, title, company):
-
Tap the Override button
-
Edit the fields manually
This ensures accurate data flows into HubSpot.
Step 7: Sync Lead to HubSpot
Tap Sync Lead to:
-
Create or update the contact in HubSpot
-
Associate them to the event as an Event Lead
-
Log your notes and context
-
Record the lead capture activity as a timeline event on the Contact and the Event in HubSpot
-
Attribute the lead to you (the rep)
This happens in seconds, keeping HubSpot fully up-to-date.
Step 8 (Optional): Export or Follow Up
Email Yourself a CSV
Tap Email me a CSV to get a file containing all leads you captured for the event.
Send a Follow-Up Email (Optional)
This part feels like magic. In less than 20 seconds from an in-person interaction, an email is in your prospect's inbox with context about where you met them and what you discussed. 🪄
Tap Send Email to automatically generate an email to the lead, including:
-
The event name
-
A personalized message
-
Your meeting link or URL you added to 'Meeting Link' when you set up your Lead Capture account.
