Event Lead Capture
Event Lead Capture Powered by the Photos Guests Want
Impulse is event lead capture software for brand events. Guests scan a QR code and share their phone, email and consent to get their professional photos in under 60 seconds, so your CRM grows from every event. It is built on Impulse event photo sharing by SMS and WhatsApp, so no app is required.
Most pop-ups and walk-in activations have no registration, so brands leave with no guest data. Impulse gives those guests a reason to sign up on the spot. See how event signups work.

FAQs
You have questions, we have resources and answers.
What is event lead capture?
Event lead capture is collecting contact details and consent from the people at your event so you can follow up afterward. With Impulse, guests give you that data themselves in exchange for their professional event photos.
How does Impulse capture leads at events?
Guests scan a QR code and sign up on the web with their phone number, selfie, and the fields you choose. Impulse then sends each guest only their own professional photos in a personalized gallery, and every signup becomes a CRM-ready profile.
How is this different from badge scanning?
Badge scanning relies on your staff reaching each attendee and only works where there are badges. Impulse works at any event, because guests opt in on their own phones to get their photos, and you collect the fields and consent you need at the same time.
Why do guests opt in?
People want high-quality photos of themselves from the event. Impulse uses that incentive to increase signup conversion while giving guests a premium, low-friction experience.
Can we collect fields beyond phone number?
Yes. Signup flows can include email, ZIP code, consent, interests, survey answers, purchase intent, age-gate confirmations, or other fields your team wants to capture.
Does Impulse require an app?
No. Signup, photo delivery, and personalized galleries are fully web-based, so guests can participate from a QR code and their phone.
What can we do with the audience after the event?
The same opt-in can support follow-up flows such as:
- Surveys, NPS, and product feedback
- Promotional codes, store links, and campaign landing pages
- Personalized invites to future events
- Re-engagement using the guest photos they already received
- CRM enrichment, segmentation, and audience reporting
What results can we measure?
Impulse can report on signups, opt-in rate, field completion, gallery views, downloads, survey responses, usage patterns, audience segments, and post-event re-engagement so your team can prove what the event created.
