Verify passes at the door, record attendance and redemptions, and trigger Salesforce automation from every scan — with the Kemicard Scanner add-on or hardware you already own.
The Kemicard Scanner add-on
- Staff-facing scanner running on standard mobile devices — verifies passes, shows member details, and records attendance and redemptions to Salesforce.
- Licensed add-on with unlimited-scan tiers available for event-heavy organizations.
- Works offline-tolerantly: the pass barcode displays and scans even when the member's phone is offline.
Embedding in Experience Cloud
The scanner ships as a component you add via Site Builder — search for the Kemicard scanner component and drop it on a community page for staff or partners. It is not a standalone LWC page, so document the Site Builder path for your community developers.
Barcode format support
- QR — recommended; reliable on both Apple and Google passes.
- PDF417 — reliable alternative when a 1-D look is wanted.
- Code-128 — not reliably recognized (scanner library limitation); avoid.
Scan-triggered automation
Scans map barcode values to Salesforce record IDs, so Flows can act on every scan:
ON scan → resolve barcode → Contact
→ create Check-In record (time, location, staff)
→ award points / decrement allowance
→ send follow-up offer after the event- Attendance — every entry logged as a related record for reporting.
- Redemptions — benefit usage tracked per privilege, per location, per date.
- Engagement scoring — scans can update scoring fields that drive journeys.
Using existing scanner hardware
Barcode scanners that emulate keyboard input can drive the same Salesforce mapping as the Kemicard Scanner — reuse the hardware you already own at fixed check-in stations.
Event-platform check-in
With Blackthorn Events, the proven flow is: registration page → attendee record created → welcome email with pass download → add to wallet → Blackthorn mobile app scans the Kemicard pass → attendee checked in. Generate passes from the Contact rather than the attendee object. Eventbrite and payment-platform integrations are scoped per client.
Verification & fraud checks
- Every scan validates the pass serial against the source Salesforce record; duplicates and counterfeits are rejected.
- Duplicate-scan tracking flags a barcode scanned twice at the same gate.
- Combine with sharing controls and device restriction (see Security) for high-value access programs.
