"Real-Time Mobile Check-In That Keeps Salesforce Attendance Accurate"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Blackthorn Events?

We run donor events for a nonprofit and the worst part used to be after, someone would scan a sign in sheet or export a spreadsheet from whatever event tool we used, then manually match names against our Salesforce contacts, half the time misspelling someone or creating a duplicate record by accident. Using the mobile check in app at the door meant attendance logged straight against the actual Salesforce contact in real time, so by the time the event wrapped, I already had accurate attendance sitting there, no export, no matching names by hand at midnight trying to figure out which Sarah Johnson was which.

What do you dislike about Blackthorn Events?

Building out a branded event page took more fiddling than I expected the first time, the design options felt a bit boxed in compared to a standalone page builder I'd used before, so getting our specific colors and layout right took a few extra passes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Blackthorn Events solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not spending the days after every event just cleaning up duplicate or mismatched contact records has genuinely given me back time I used to lose every single time. Everything living in Salesforce already, no separate export step, no reconciling two systems, has made post event work feel almost nonexistent compared to before. Page design has a real learning curve if you're used to more flexible builders, small tradeoff against how much manual cleanup it's saved us on the data side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
