Pre-register a visitor, email a QR badge, and alert the host on arrival

When a host submits a visitor pre-registration form, this creates a visitor record, emails the guest a scannable QR badge with arrival instructions.

What it does

Turns a host's pre-registration request into a complete visitor lifecycle: a tracked record, a guest-facing QR badge delivered by email, and a real-time host notification at check-in. No front-desk back-and-forth.

When to use it

Use it when employees host external guests (interviews, client meetings, vendors) and your front desk wants people pre-cleared before they walk in. Best when you already track visitors in Airtable and your staff lives in Microsoft Teams.

How it works

  1. 1A host submits the pre-registration webhook with the guest's name, email, host, and visit date.
  2. 2The flow writes a visitor record to Airtable with status `Pre-registered` and a unique badge token.
  3. 3A QR badge image is generated encoding that token for the kiosk scanner.
  4. 4The guest receives a Gmail message with the badge, building address, and parking notes.
  5. 5A second webhook fires when the kiosk scans the badge at arrival; the flow flips the record to `Checked in`.
  6. 6The assigned host gets a Teams direct message: guest name, location, and check-in time.
