The Lead Retrieval by Webex Events app is the most seamless way for your sponsors and exhibitors to capture and rate leads and get enriched data — all by scanning attendees' QR codes. While exhibitors can add leads manually, scanning QR codes lets them focus on engaging with and qualifying leads without distractions.
Exhibitors can scan QR codes printed on badges, or scan them from the app directly. Learn more below! 👇
QR codes on printed badges
When you use the powerful Webex Events Onsite Event Check-in and badge printing and Session check-in solution, it's easy to print attendee QR codes on badges as people check in! The Webex Events Onsite badge designer is simple to use, yet incredibly robust. Read our Introduction to Webex Events Onsite for more information.
Exhibitors simply tap the scan button on the Lead Retrieval app, scan the code, and they have a new lead! 🎉
QR codes inside the Event App
When you activate Lead Retrieval for an Event, the My QR Code feature is automatically added to the Event App. Attendees simply tap the feature to access their personal QR code so exhibitors can scan it.

⚠️ Caution! Never modify QR codes.
Generate QR codes for a mail merge
If you want to print QR codes for attendees as part of a mail merge, follow the instructions above to download individual images, or download all QR codes and use a bulk QR code generator to convert the alphanumeric QR codes into scannable QR code images. Some of our customers have had success with QR Explorer's bulk QR Code Generator.
When you've generated all the QR code images, create a mail-merge document with the information you'd like to include on your printed materials.
Microsoft has helpful instructions on using the Mail Merge feature in Word to create and to print materials that use the data from an Excel worksheet.
Pro tip! 😎
The External ID user field lets you identify users in our system with your preferred unique identifier from a system outside Webex Events — usually a third-party or proprietary system. When you don't use this optional field, the Webex Events platform assigns a User ID. 👍
