How to Use Slash

Slash operates on a simple system to ensure a streamlined event experience with minimal friction for event organizers

Watch the video below for a step-by-step guide on setting up your event on Slash:

Part 1 – Create an Event

Registering an Account

To start using the Slash platform, you need to create an account.

First, go to https://slashevent.com/register/organizer

Fill out the following fields with your email address, username, name, mobile number, and organization.

Click “I have read and accepted Terms and Conditions”.

Click “Sign Up” to complete your registration. A confirmation email will be sent to your email address.

Log into your email account to view the confirmation email. A pre-generated password will be included in the email, along with a link to confirm your account.

Click the link to confirm your account. You will be redirected to the event dashboard in “Create Mode”. You may exit the page or continue to create an event.

Creating an Event

To create an event, you will need to first log into your Slash event account.

Go to https://organizer.slashevent.com

If you do not have existing events, you will be redirected to the event dashboard in “Create Mode” and can start creating an event directly.

If you do have existing events under your account, you will be redirected to the event dashboard with all your existing events. Click “Create Event” below.

Fill in the following details:

Event name
Date and time
Province
Location
Event description and other details
Event photo (if applicable)

Each event is assigned an auto-generated URL, which you can choose to change. This link can be used by your audience to view your event and buy tickets.

Your event location will be pinned through Google Maps. If a pin doesn’t exist for your chosen location, you may use coordinates.

To format event description text, such as adding bold text, italicizing, and line breaks, you may use HTML tags.

Additional Customization

You may add additional details to your event to further customize your event experience. These details are optional and can be skipped.

Under the Category section, you may add tags to your event, such as “Music”, “Sports”, or other applicable labels to help sort your event on the Slash platform.

Under the Required Fields section, you may check the listed items underneath. When checked, ticket buyers will be required to fill out these relevant details before finishing their purchase.

If “surveyAnswer” is selected, type in the desired survey question in the given text box. You may type in the survey answers in the Survey Options text box. Separate each option with a comma.

Once you are satisfied with the event details, you can click “Save”. You can then click the “Preview” button to view your event page. If you want to make any changes to your event, you can click “Edit” on the dashboard to add any revisions, then click “Save.”

Part 2 – Create and Buy a Ticket

Creating a Ticket

Once you have created an event, you need to create tickets for your attendees to purchase.

Click “Ticket” on the event dashboard to start. You will be redirected to a new page to create a ticket.

Fill out the following details:

Ticket Type, which covers the different kinds of tickets your audience will be able to buy
Sequence, which determines the order of each ticket type appearing on the ticket buying screen.
Ticket Price. For free events, you can set the price to 0.
Valid From and Valid To, which sets the exact date and time the tickets can be used by the buyer
Total # of Tickets, which sets the total number of tickets available for the ticket type
Ticket Details, which can show buyers further information on the inclusions for the selected ticket

Once all details are completed, click “Save”. You may click “Add Ticket” if you wish to add more kinds of tickets for your event.

To revise any details, click on the ticket you want to edit, then click “Edit”. If you wish to remove a ticket type, click on the ticket you want to remove, then click “Delete”.

Buying a Ticket

Audiences should be able to buy tickets by viewing your event on the Slash platform.

Once you are on the event page, you can view the ticket types and prices below the event details. Click “Buy” on the ticket you want to purchase.
Fill out the form with your email and other applicable details, then click “Submit”. You will be redirected to a payment gateway.

Select the desired payment option, and then follow the instructions on how to pay.

Once payment has been completed, you will see a page confirming your purchase with a “View Passport” button below. The purchased ticket will be sent to the email address you provided in the checkout process.

You may close the window or click “View Passport” to view the Activities available for the event.

Part 3 – Create Activity

Create an Activity

Activities are fun and exciting ways to engage your event attendees. By completing activities, attendees can receive rewards.

From the events dashboard, click “Activity”. You will be taken to a new page to create and manage your event activities.

Fill out the following fields:

Activity Name
Activity Description, which provides details about the activity the attendee will perform.
Activity Start and Activity End, which determines the amount of time the activity can be completed within the event.
Reward, which will correspond to a voucher registered to your event. If the reward is not a voucher, you may add it as part of the activity description instead and leave the Reward field blank.
Activity Photo (if applicable)

Set the action to complete the activity. “Scan” requires exhibitors or event staff to scan the attendee’s QR code, while “Scratch” will create a scratch card for a randomized chance at a reward.

Once the details are finalized, click “Save”. You may click “New Item” if you wish to add more activities to your event.

To revise any details, click on the Activity you want to edit, then click “Edit”. If you wish to remove an activity, click on the activity you want to remove, then click “Delete”.

Register Vouchers

Once an activity is created, click the “Vouchers” button to register the vouchers that attendees can claim for completing the activity.

Each activity created will have separate voucher listings. Make sure to register the corresponding vouchers for each activity.

From there, input the specific voucher code in the “Code” field, then select “Status” as “ACTIVE”. Click “Save” to complete the registration.

Click “New Item” and repeat this process to register more than one voucher for the activity. To revise any details, click on the code you want to edit, then click “Edit”. If you wish to remove a code, click on the code you want to remove, then click “Delete”.

Part 4 – Scratch Card

Create a Scratch Card

Scratch Cards are a unique Slash activity that allows attendees to win rewards through a fair, randomized digital scratch card.

To create a Scratch Card, follow the steps to create an activity, but set the action to “Scratch”.

Once you fill out all details, click “Save”.

Click “Scratch” on your chosen activity to open up the scratch card page.

Select an item from the drop-down list under “Reward”, then fill out the following details:

Chance, which determines the likelihood of this reward being won
Total Available, which sets the stock of the reward to be won

Scratch Cards will need a minimum amount of three Rewards to run correctly.

Register Rewards

Each item on the Scratch Card needs to be registered to appear on the card.

To register an item, click the “Reward” tab.

Fill out the following details:

Code
Name, which will indicate what item the reward is
Quantity, which sets the number of items that can be claimed
Photo, which will symbolize a brand or reward.

Ensure that the “Claimable” box is checked, then click “Save” when you are satisfied with the details.

Part 5 – Setting Up Activity QR Scanning

Setting Up Activity QR Scanning

Exhibitors and event staff will be in charge of scanning attendee QR codes to complete Activities. Smartphones and other devices with QR scanning capabilities will need to be set up to do this.

To set up a device for QR scanning, select the event from the event dashboard, then click “Activity”.

Select the activity that the device will be used for, then copy the Activation URL below.

Open the link on your chosen device. A confirmation screen will appear to signal that the device can proceed with scanning QR codes. You may exit the page.
