Badge events come from one of two places. Import Event brings in an event from a connected provider (Eventbrite or Luma) and keeps its attendees in sync. Create Event makes the event in TalkValue, and you upload its attendee list as a CSV. Either way, the event carries a date range, a time zone, and a 6-character staff access code.
Before you start
  • A TalkValue workspace account. See Members.
  • To import: at least one CONNECTED integration in Settings → Integrations (see Connect Eventbrite or Connect Luma), and the event already set up in that Eventbrite or Luma account.
  • To create: your attendee list as a CSV, with an email and a unique ID for each attendee. See Upload attendees from a CSV.

​
Import from Eventbrite or Luma

1

Open Badge → Import Event

Sign in at app.trytalkvalue.com, open Badge from the left icon rail, and click Import Event in the page header. The Import Event dialog opens.
2

Pick a provider

The dialog shows a provider picker with one row per supported provider: Eventbrite and Luma. Each row is one of:
  • Connected. Shows the account email and a Select action. Click Select to load events from that account.
  • Not connected. Shows a Connect action. Click it to authorize the provider inline, then continue.
3

Pick the event

The dialog switches to the events list for the chosen provider. Each row shows the event name and an Import button, except events already imported, which show Imported instead. Click Import on the event you want.
4

Wait for the import to start

Badge confirms with a toast ("Import started" and the event name) and the dialog closes. Your dashboard refreshes and the new event appears with sync status PENDING while attendees are pulled in the background.
5

Open the event

Click the new event card. If the import job is still running, the event page shows an Import in progress view with live progress. When the import completes, the page swaps to the full event view with stat cards, the staff access code, and a default badge template.

​
Create an event in TalkValue

Use Create Event when your registrations live outside Eventbrite and Luma, for example in a spreadsheet or another ticketing tool.
1

Open Badge → Create Event

Open Badge from the left icon rail and click Create Event in the page header, next to Import Event.
2

Fill in the event

Enter a Name, pick a Time Zone (your browser’s time zone is preselected), and pick the Event Dates on the calendar. For a one-day event, pick a single date. Each day runs from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM in the event’s time zone.
3

Upload your attendees

Click Create. Badge confirms with Event created and opens the Import attendees wizard for the new event. Follow Upload attendees from a CSV.
To change the name, time zone, or dates later, click Edit in the event page header. If you change the time zone, check-ins move to the matching days. An imported event takes these details from its provider, so edit it there.

​
What you get when an event lands

Once the event is in Badge, the event detail page shows:
  • Header. Event name, provider badge (Manual for an event you created), date range in the event’s time zone, and, for imported events, a sync status indicator.
  • Action bar. Export (attendee and badge print log CSVs; see Export your data), then Sync for an imported event, or Edit and Import CSV for one you created. Station mode opens the desktop print station and Check-in mode the mobile check-in station. Both links use the event’s access code, so you can preview what staff will see.
  • Stat cards. Total Attendees, Checked In Today, Total Checked In.
  • Staff Access. The 6-character access code, the staff URL, and a QR. See Get the access code.
  • Badge Template. Preview of the default template with a Manage button to open the editor.
  • Lead Capture. The total leads across your sponsor booths, with a Manage button. See Lead capture.
  • Attendees. Paginated table of every attendee with check-in status and VIP flag. For an event you created, a CSV imports card above it lists every upload.
The event’s side panel links to the same areas: Overview, Badge Templates, Lead Capture, and, for an event you created, Import CSV.

​
Re-importing or replacing an event

If you imported the wrong event or want to recover one whose sync severed, the recovery dialog is the same UI:
  • DISCONNECTED events show an alert with a Reconnect button. See Recovering from disconnect.
  • FAILED events show a Retry button with the same dialog.
Importing the same event a second time doesn’t duplicate it. Once imported is true on a candidate, the Import button is replaced with Imported.
