Auto-Send Certificates to Attendees After Every Session
By Product Team | February 23, 2026 | 5 min read
Manually emailing certificates is a thing of the past. Learn how Fast ID automatically generates and delivers participation certificates the moment a session ends.
The Certificate Bottleneck
You've just finished a fantastic workshop. 200 attendees are buzzing with energy. They want proof of their participation — a certificate they can share on LinkedIn, submit to HR for professional development credits, or simply keep as a memento. But manually creating 200 certificates with individual names, dates, and session titles? That's a full day's work for your admin team.
How Automated Certificates Work in Fast ID
Fast ID's certificate automation is built directly into the Schedule Planner. Here's the simple workflow:
1. Enable Certificates on a Session
When creating or editing a session in the Schedule Planner, toggle the "Enable Certificate" switch. Sessions with certificates enabled display a small award icon on the calendar, so you can see at a glance which sessions offer certification.
2. Attendees Scan In
During the session, attendees scan their QR code at the entrance using your gate scanner. This records their attendance for that specific session — not just the event overall. This ensures only actual participants receive certificates, not people who registered but didn't show up.
3. Certificates Are Auto-Generated
After the session concludes, Fast ID automatically generates a beautifully designed digital certificate for each verified attendee. The certificate includes:
- Attendee's full name
- Session title and speaker name
- Event name and date
- A unique QR verification code for authenticity
- Your organization's logo and branding
4. Instant Delivery
Certificates are either emailed directly to attendees or made available for download from their personal QR confirmation page. No manual intervention, no CSV exports, no design tools — it all happens automatically.
Why Automated Certificates Matter
- Professional Credibility: Certificates with QR-verifiable authenticity add real value to your event brand.
- Attendee Satisfaction: Instant gratification. Attendees receive their certificate within minutes of the session ending.
- Compliance Ready: For training and educational events, automated certificates create an auditable trail of who attended what.
- Social Sharing: Attendees share certificates on LinkedIn, generating organic marketing for your next event.
"Our attendees were blown away when they received their certificates before they even left the venue. It made our event feel truly premium." — Workshop Coordinator, SkillUp Academy
