Attendance capture
Keep every attendance record current

Send new attendance submissions from Google Forms or Gravity Forms into your tracker automatically, so every response lands in the right record without rekeying.
Class roster updates
Route new class and attendee details into Google Sheets, Airtable, or monday.com as enrollment data changes. Your roster stays current for every session.
Session check-in records
Capture check-in details from registration or scheduling tools and log them the moment they arrive. This keeps attendance tracking accurate across recurring sessions.
Spreadsheet attendance entries
Add rows to Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel whenever a new attendance event is recorded. Staff get a live attendance tracking sheet without manual updates.

Save attendance files and exports to Google Drive automatically after each update. Your business keeps a searchable backup trail for audits and reporting.
