Overview

Lead Liaison provides the ability to create and print your own badges for companies running their own events. The badge system integrates with Dymo, a leading manufacturer of labels/badges. 

Please contact your Lead Liaison Representative to gain access to Lead Liaison's Badge system.

Creating Badges

Badges can be created in groups or individually. A Badge Group is a collection of badges. You might need to create and print a Badge Group if you're looking to lay badges out on a table for attendees to pick up when they check-in to your event. 

Step 1: Create a Badge Group 

To create a Badge Group do the following:


Step 2: Print Badges

To print your badges do the following:

Step 3: Linking an Event to Badges

Once your Badge Group is created you need to link your Event to your Badge Group. Follow the steps below to link your Event(s) to your badges:

When creating your Badge Group, if you enabled the Restrict badges to specific Events option then your Event will only work with the selected Badge Group. If this option was not enabled, then any Event created in your account will work with your badges regardless of the Badge Group selected as shown in the screenshot below.

Customizing Badges

Badges are created using the Dymo Label Maker Software. The Dymo system uses a .label file to determine how your badges look. You can create your custom badge by modifying the existing badge template or by creating a custom .label file. Both options are covered below. 

Modifying the Default Template

Follow the instructional video below to customize the default template before printing your badges:

Make sure you use the correct "Reference names" as shown below:

Lead Liaison uses a default .label file; however, you can create your own .label file to create your badges with Lead Liaison. Follow the steps below to create a custom .label file.

To change the .label file used when printing your badges do the following:

Notes

  1. Badge QR codes will work only on the same Lead Liaison account. 
  2. If you have your own badge scanning software, you can generate an API key inside Lead Liaison and use that API key when scanning badges to return Prospect data. When scanning a QR code a text link, such as the one below, will be generated. There are two query string parameters passed to Lead Liaison's API. This request is sent to Lead Liaison's API, which returns the Prospect data set in JSON format as shown below. 
    1. api_key: The API key in your Lead Liaison account. 
    2. barcode_id: The ID of the QR code that you scan.
