This walkthrough takes you from an empty Badge dashboard to a working check-in station. You add an event from Eventbrite or Luma, design a badge template, pair a Zebra label printer, and hand your staff a 6-character code for mobile check-in.
Before you start
  • A TalkValue workspace with Admin role (only admins can connect integrations). See Members if you need access.
  • An Eventbrite or Luma account connected to TalkValue.
  • For printing: a supported Zebra label printer and Google Chrome on the print-station laptop.

​
Run the full flow

1

Add an event to Badge

Sign in at app.trytalkvalue.com, open Badge in the side panel, and click Import Event. Pick Eventbrite or Luma in the provider picker, then click Import next to the event you want. TalkValue starts importing attendees in the background. See Add an event for the dialog reference.
2

Wait for the import to complete

The event opens in import-progress view while attendees are pulled from the provider. When the import finishes, the event detail page appears with stat cards, the staff access code, and a default badge template. See Sync status for what the status badges mean.
3

Design the badge template

On the event page, find the Badge Template card and click Manage, then open the default template. The visual editor opens with text, image, QR, and rectangle tools. Drop the elements you need and bind text fields to attendee data like full name, company, and ticket name. See Editor overview and Add elements.
4

Pair your Zebra printer

From the template editor toolbar, click Connect printer. Chrome opens a permission dialog. Pick your Zebra model and click Connect, then click Print test to confirm the layout. Full setup, including Windows driver tips, is in Connect a printer.
5

Share the staff access code

Back on the event page, the Staff Access card shows a 6-character code and a QR. Share the code with your check-in staff. They enter it at /badge/staff on any phone or tablet. See Get the access code for the share-and-handoff details.
6

Check in your first attendee

Have a staff member open the staff URL, enter the access code, and pick Check-in mode. Scan a ticket QR with the camera. The attendee is marked checked in, and if a print station is connected, the badge prints automatically. See QR scan check-in.
