How to set up event check-in
Events takes attendance for your server's scheduled events off voice: whoever marked themselves Interested checks in by joining the event's voice channel, the missing are marked, a post asks for subs, and the check-in board ends as the attendance. Setting it up takes two steps, and it is free. Everything it does is explained on the Events page.

- Schedule events the way you always have - Create Event in Discord, with a voice or stage channel as the location. Members press Interested to go on the roster, and nobody has to press Start: the clock is the scheduled time.
What happens next
- 15 minutes before the start, the check-in board goes up in your Events channel.
- 10 minutes after, whoever has not come is marked, and a post asks for as many subs as are missing.
- When everyone has left, the board turns into the attendance, with each member's time in voice.
Those are the defaults. Press More options on the Events screen - or open Events on the dashboard - to change the timing, ping a role when check-in opens or in the sub post, limit Events to some channels, count only members who stayed a while, or copy each attendance to a staff channel. The dashboard shows an evening in your own timing, and every message the bot will post.
The sub post, the attendance, events held at a generator, timings and troubleshooting are all on the Events page.
