01
Stop pasting into Excel
Sign-ups, lists and segments live in the same place as the form that creates them. A filter becomes a reusable list for your emails, with nothing to export.
One form. A thousand sign-ups.
Zero spreadsheets.
Winston takes the attendee from sign-up to seat: forms in your brand, automatic emails, a ticket in the wallet, check-in from a phone. You set it up yourself, without waiting for anyone.
You publish your first event in one afternoon

Why Winston
Five things you stop doing
This isn't "more efficiency". It's that some tasks disappear from your day, and the mistakes they brought with them disappear too.
Scroll the list
02
Stop waiting for someone
Forms, layout, emails and check-in are all configured from the panel. No ticket to open just to change a field the night before the event.
03
Stop explaining the brand
The client's colours, fonts and CSS load into the form and the landing page. Signing up feels like part of the event, not part of somebody else's software.
04
Stop printing lists
The QR code sits in the wallet, the seat on the personal page, check-in on the staff's phone, with the right permissions for every role.
05
Stop answering the same emails
Confirmations, reminders and tickets go out on their own, in Italian or in English, with the form data inside. Replies come to your address.
What you can do
Six tools, one single panel
Every screen below is Winston exactly as it is today, not an illustration.
The registration form
The form doesn't collect data. It decides who gets in.
Every field can be required, visible only at check-in, reserved for the back office, or conditional on an earlier answer.
- Cascading conditions: the answer opens the next questions
- Domain and email whitelists, for invitation-only events
- A cap on sign-ups, with automatic closing
- Multiple privacy consents, with wording you write yourself
- A second language that follows the attendee all the way to their page
Customisation
The form carries the event's brand, not ours.
From the Layout tab you choose theme, accent colour, background, text colour and header image, with the preview alongside.
- Live preview as you edit
- Advanced mode with the client's own CSS
- The same logic for the event's landing page
The emails
They go out from here, not from Mailchimp.
The sign-up confirmation goes out on its own. You build campaigns in the builder, schedule them and send them to whichever list you need.
- Dynamic fields taken from the form, back-office ones included
- Lists and segments that update themselves
- Send scheduling and campaign status
- Reply-to on your address, reports on opens and clicks
Sign-ups and lists
One table, always up to date.
Every sign-up from every form of the event in a single view. Choose the columns, filter, fix a wrong value.
- Configurable columns, saved per user
- Filters that turn into reusable lists
- Full Excel export, uploaded files included
Check-in
On event day only one thing matters: that the queue keeps moving.
Staff open a link, point it at the QR code and the person is in. With auto check-in there's nothing even to confirm.
- Scanning from the phone camera, no app to install
- A warning if the code has already been scanned
- Search and manual check-in for anyone arriving without a QR code
- Separate permissions for check-in staff

Sitting Plan
Who sits where, decided in advance or decided at the scan.
You build the room as tables or as a theatre, drag attendees into seats, or let Winston assign them at check-in.
- Tables with capacity, or numbered rows and seats
- Manual or automatic assignment on entry
- A warning if there aren't enough seats or if someone assigned drops off the list
- A printable table view for staff
The attendee's page
For whoever signs up it's just one link.
No attachments to hunt for, no PDFs to print. After signing up, the attendee gets an address that stays valid until the end of the event and updates itself whenever something changes.
The ticket
A personal QR code, valid at the door and recognised if somebody tries to use it twice.
Wallet and calendar
Apple Wallet, Google Wallet and .ics files with the date, time and place of the form they signed up to.
Their seat
If there's a sitting plan, the seat appears front and centre as soon as it's assigned.
The data you're missing
Flight, transfer, allergies, t-shirt size: you ask for them later with an extra form, without touching the one already published.

How it works
From idea to entrance, five steps
1
You build the form
Fields, conditions, the client's brand and a cap on places.
2
You invite
An email campaign to your list, or a public link with a domain whitelist.
3
They sign up
Automatic confirmation with ticket, wallet and calendar, in their own language.
4
You assign the seats
By hand or at check-in. The attendee sees it on their page.
5
You let them in
The QR code scanned from a phone. At the end of the day you know who was actually there.
