Blackthorn Badge Generation is a Salesforce-native tool that allows event teams to generate and print Attendee badges directly from Salesforce. It eliminates manual mail merges and third-party print tools by combining Salesforce Flows with Nintex DocGen templates.
The simple, point-and-click process uses prebuilt templates and flows. Since the templates are Word-based, Event Organizers can easily modify them to update branding, Attendee fields, logos, and more.
Users can then generate single badges or badges in bulk as PDF files, using Event and Attendee data that is already in Salesforce. Once the PDF is created, it’s as simple as opening it and using your existing printer and print process.
