Sharing allows guests to print or send themselves event captures to view, download, and share on social media during an event, either directly from the photo booth or a sharing station.
Sharing options available:
- Text
- AirDrop
- QR Code
- Printing
You can also include data collection by turning on the Survey feature, which will require guests to answer either multiple-choice or open-ended questions before sharing their capture.
Note: Email sharing is the only option available for Virtual Events.
Features
Email Sharing allows guests to send captures to their email address from an in-person event, virtual event, or sharing station.
Email Sharing provides the greatest amount of customization and branding for your event.
With Email Sharing you can customize the:
- Sender name
- Subject line
- Reply-to address
- Messaging
Email addresses submitted by guests are saved as part of the event’s sharing data and can be downloaded after the event for marketing or other purposes.
By default, emails are sent from a generic email address (email@boothmailer.com). This can be changed to your own business email address using the Custom Sending Address feature for a completely customized experience.
Note: Custom Sending Address requires a custom domain name.

What To Know
If the iPad used for running the event is not connected to the Internet, Fiesta iOS app will automatically enter into Offline Mode.
While in Offline Mode, all sharing options enabled for the event will still be available, however, guests will not receive their captures immediately when sharing via Email, Text, or QR code.
Guests’ email addresses and phone numbers will be stored and queued to be sent out once the iPad reconnects to the Internet and the Fiesta iOS app is open.
If your event requires that guests receive their captures immediately, you may want to offer AirDrop as a sharing option.
Note: Guests will not be prompted to complete a survey when sharing via AirDrop.
AirDrop requires guests to have a compatible iOS device, such as an iPhone, to receive captures.
