Certificates of attendance, automated

A certificate of attendance confirms that someone was present at your event, webinar, workshop, or training session. Making one is easy. Making two hundred, each with the right name, date, and hours, is the part that eats an afternoon. This workflow removes that part: your attendee list goes in, a folder of personalized PDF certificates comes out.

Who sends these

Course and workshop instructors
Send certificates after each cohort without touching a design tool. The attendee sheet you already keep becomes the input.
Webinar hosts
Export the registrants who actually attended, paste them into the sheet, and run the workflow while the follow-up email is still being written.
Training and HR teams
CPD and CE documentation with hours and a reference ID on every certificate, formatted identically every time.
Conference organizers
Answer every 'can I get an attendance certificate?' email with a workflow run instead of a designer request.

From one list to every certificate

The workflow reads your Google Sheet one row at a time and fills a certificate template with that row's values. Every certificate comes from the same template, so the design never drifts between batches. If your list lives in Excel, upload it to Google Sheets first and connect that; Airtable works as a source too. Click through the rows below to see how each one becomes its own certificate.

Rendered from row 1, one per row

For recurring sessions, set the trigger to watch for new rows so anyone added to the sheet gets their certificate within minutes, no run required.

How it works, step by step

  1. Pick a certificate template

    Choose a certificate of attendance template from the Orshot library or design your own in the studio with placeholders for name, event, and date.

  2. Connect your attendee list

    Connect the Google Sheet that holds your attendees. One row per person, with columns for whatever your certificate shows.

  3. Map columns to the certificate

    Point each placeholder on the certificate to a column: name, event title, date, hours attended.

  4. Run the workflow

    Orshot renders one PDF per row and files them all in a Google Drive folder. Run it after each event, or let it run on a schedule.

Frequently asked

What should a certificate of attendance include?

At minimum the attendee's full name, the event or course title, the date, and the issuing organization. Many also include hours attended (useful for CPD or CE credit), a signature, and a certificate ID. In Orshot each of these is a placeholder filled from a column in your sheet.

How do I create certificates of attendance in bulk?

Put your attendees in a Google Sheet, one row per person, and connect it to this workflow. Orshot renders a personalized PDF for every row in one run, so 10 or 1,000 attendees is the same amount of work.

Can certificates send automatically after a webinar or class?

Yes. Trigger the workflow on new rows, so each person added to the sheet gets a certificate the moment they appear, or run it manually once after the event for the whole list.

What format are the certificates?

PDF by default, which is what most attendees expect to download and print. You can also render PNG images if you want certificates people can share directly on social media.

Do I need to design the certificate myself?

No. Start from a certificate template in the Orshot library and swap in your logo, colors, and fonts. If you have an existing design, you can rebuild it in the studio editor once and reuse it for every event.
