Certificate automation — from survey to verifiable certificate
When an event ends you should not have to prepare hundreds of attendance certificates by hand, email them one by one and then field the question “is this certificate genuine?”. Etkin generates the certificate automatically when an attendee completes the survey, delivers it, and adds a verification code to every copy.
Let the flow produce the certificate, not manual work
Issuing a certificate after a training session, seminar or workshop makes attendance feel worthwhile — but in most teams the process is manual: typing names into a template one at a time, exporting PDFs, emailing each person separately. Etkin turns this into an automation. After the event you send attendees a feedback survey; the certificate for anyone who completes it is generated instantly and arrives by email. You collect feedback and issue the certificate to the people who earned it, in the same step. You can also tie the certificate to attendance — to having actually shown up.
Creating attendance certificates
- Your own design: add your logo, signature, event name and date to the template; the attendee name and verification code are placed automatically.
- Bulk generation: hundreds of certificates are produced at once, all to the same standard — no one-by-one work.
- Automatic delivery: the certificate is emailed out; attendees download it, share it and can access it again whenever they need.
- Rule-based: issue only to those who qualify, based on rules such as “completed the survey” or “attended”.
Verifiable certificates
Proving that a printed or PDF certificate is genuine is hard; it can be copied and edited. Every certificate Etkin produces carries a unique verification code and QR. Anyone who enters the code or scans the QR — an employer, an institution, a third party — sees on the verification page that the certificate is genuine, who it was issued to, for which event and when. That gives your certificate credibility and prevents forged documents. Because the verification link is permanent, the certificate still proves itself years later.
Unique code
A unique verification code and QR on every certificate — both permanent and traceable.
Instant verification
Anyone can confirm a certificate’s authenticity on the verification page in seconds.
Forgery protection
An edited or invented code will not verify; the reputation of your document is protected.
The limits of doing it by hand in Word or PDF
Preparing certificates in a document or slide template works for small groups but falls apart as you scale. Every name is typed by hand, typos slip through, and converting to PDF and emailing individually takes hours. More importantly, those documents cannot be verified — anyone can copy the file and change the name. With certificate automation, generation is bulk and error-free, delivery is automatic, and every document can be verified by its unique code. On a 300-person training course the difference is hours of manual work versus a few minutes of automation.
Registration → attendance → certificate: one chain
A certificate is not a standalone tool but the last link in the flow. Online registration gathers attendees, QR check-in captures entry, the survey brings feedback and the certificate is generated automatically — all on the same attendee record, without a break.
Certificates in four steps
Prepare the template
Add your logo, signature and text; leave placeholders for the name and verification code.
Send the survey
Deliver the feedback or confirmation survey to attendees after the event.
Certificates generate themselves
A certificate is created and emailed to everyone who completes the survey.
Let it be verified
Anyone can confirm the certificate’s authenticity at any time with the code or QR.
For every programme that issues certificates
Any event that issues a certificate of attendance benefits from automating the process — generation and verification in one place. A team wrestling with paper and PDFs finishes the same job in Etkin in minutes, without errors.
- Training & courses: attendance or completion certificates, valid in job applications thanks to verification.
- Seminars & workshops: an instant certificate for the attendee and zero manual work for the organiser.
- Congresses & continuing education: bulk, verifiable documents for hundreds of participants.
- Associations & communities: certificates that document volunteer and member contribution.

About certificate automation
How are attendance certificates generated automatically?
After the event you send attendees a survey or feedback form. When someone completes it, their certificate is generated automatically and delivered by email. You can also tie it to attendance — to having actually taken part. Nobody prepares a list by hand.
How does certificate verification work?
Every certificate carries a unique verification code and QR. Anyone who opens the code or QR sees on the verification page that the certificate is genuine, who it was issued to and for which event. This prevents forged certificates.
Can I use my own certificate design?
Yes. You add your organisation’s logo, signature, event name and date to the template; the attendee name and verification code are placed automatically on each certificate. Hundreds are produced with the same design in one go.
Which plans include certificates?
Certificate automation is available on Pro (₺749/mo) and Business; you can try Pro for 14 days without entering card details. Associations, NGOs and student communities get 50% off all paid plans.
Can attendees access their certificate later?
Yes. The certificate is emailed and the verification link is permanent; attendees can download and share it whenever they like, and the verification code always stays valid.
