How it works
One event, walked end to end.
A private view for four hundred people — invented for this page, and run below exactly as the product runs it. Nine stations, three minutes, no jargon.
Everything on this page is the demo event. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Create
Start with the kind of event it is.
Pick a type and the form follows — a private view asks about the artist and the press list; a conference asks about tracks and rooms. Date, venue and capacity are entered once and every later step reads them from here.

Import
Bring the list you already have.
Paste rows from a spreadsheet, upload a CSV or Excel file, or type names in. Nothing is judged yet — this step just gets what you were sent into one place, exactly as it arrived.

Clean
ListGuardSee what is wrong before anything goes out.
The import is read and every finding is reported with the original kept beside it — duplicates, undeliverable addresses, people who asked not to be written to. You decide; nothing is dropped quietly.
Go deeperThe list check in detail
Addresses are checked for a deliverable domain, not confirmed as real mailboxes. Winglark will not tell you an address is good; it will tell you when one cannot possibly be.

Design
TemplateForgeCompose the invitation, publish a version.
The event’s real date, venue and deadline flow into the composition — they cannot be contradicted by a draft. Publishing cuts a version, and guests keep the version they were sent until you say otherwise.
Go deeperInvitation design in detail
Drafts copy against the event’s real date, venue and deadline, and rejects anything that contradicts them.

An evening with the collection
Last pass: the title tightens and the rule lengthens. Small decisions, and the reason a person is still holding the file.
Send
MailFlowSend it, and watch what actually happens.
Every message carries its own record: queued, accepted, delivered, opened — and held, with the reason. Email runs on your own verified address; SMS and WhatsApp go through your own account the same way.

- This address bounced permanently the last time — sending again would damage the domain.
- This person asked not to be written to. That answer does not expire.
- Emailfrom your verified domain
- SMSthrough your own account
- WhatsAppthrough your own account
Sending runs on your own account and your own verified domain, so what leaves is under your name and your reputation.
Respond
Replies land on the same record.
Each guest opens a personal link to their own name and answers the questions this event actually asks. Answers can change until you close them, and silence is never quietly counted as a no.

Update
InvitePulseSix more names, four days out.
A late list is compared with what the event already holds. Matches are left untouched — reply, plus-one and code intact — and only the genuinely new are prepared. Nobody is written to twice.

Nobody is written to twice, no guest is duplicated, and nobody’s existing reply is disturbed. The people already handled stay handled.
Arrive
GatePassThe door, on any phone.
The list is on the device before doors, so scanning works with no signal and syncs after. A second scan of the same code is flagged, never waved through — try it here.
Go deeperThe door in detail
Door check-in is a paid upgrade on an event, or part of a Professional plan. It is not included in the free first event.
No rented terminals. The phone your team already has is the scanner.

Point the camera at a guest’s code.
A working model of the door screen. Nothing here is sent anywhere.
Collect
TicketFlowactivated with our teamWhen a place is paid for, not invited to.
A paid order issues an entry code on the same guest record, and the same door admits it. Ticketing is switched on for a workspace with our team, so this station shows the shape of the flow rather than a live checkout.
Go deeperPaid attendance in detail
- 01A place is paid for at the checkout
- 02A credential is issued — a guest record like any other
- 03The same door admits it, online or off
Switched on for a workspace with our team: currency, refund policy and payment set-up are configured with you before the first sale.
Report
What was promised, against what happened.
Because the list, the replies and the door are one record, the report is not a reconstruction — invited, replied, expected and actually arrived, with the gaps named and every figure of the demo event accounted for.
| invited | 412 |
|---|---|
| said yes | 338 |
| expected, with plus-ones | 396 |
| actually came | 301 |
| said yes, never arrived | 58 |
| came without replying | 21 |
Now run a real one.
Your first event is free — fifty guests, real invitations, real replies, the same loop you just walked.
No card required. The Winglark mark stays on free invitations.
