The Drop-In feature allows Participants without a scheduled meeting to request one at the door. Once a Participant has Dropped-In, it will be possible for Hosts to Book them. This means that a Host acknowledges the arrival of the Participant and will start the meeting with that person shortly.

To get started with a Connection Program, please review our article on creating a Connection Program.

To activate and utilize the Drop-In feature, please follow the steps below:

  • Manage your group

  • Click on More Tools

  • Click on Connection Programs

  • Scroll down to the More Options section

  • Set the Activate Drop-Ins option to Yes

  • Click on Save when you are done

You will now be able to use the Check-In Kiosk button. This links directly to the kiosk from which Participants will be able to Drop-In.

Note: This is the same kiosk for all of the group's Connection Programs. Participants will be able to choose which Program they want to Drop-In to from the kiosk.
