Understanding the statuses of your EventWall message wall

When you create a message wall with EventWall, it goes through different statuses that correspond to the stages of your event. Understanding these statuses helps you better manage your setup and ensure a smooth experience for your guests.

What is a wall status?

The status indicates the current state of your message wall. It evolves automatically based on your actions (setup, deployment) and the progress of the event. Each status corresponds to a specific stage in the lifecycle of your interactive wall.

The different statuses explained

Pending

The wall is currently being prepared. You are in the configuration phase: choosing colors, visual themes, and display options. All settings can still be modified at this stage, allowing you to fine-tune the result until it perfectly matches your event.

What you can do: modify all settings, test different configurations, customize the appearance of the wall.

Deployed

The wall is ready to use. QR Codes are generated and available for printing or display, but the wall is not yet accessible to guests. This is the ideal stage to finalize your event preparation.

What you can do: download and print QR Codes, set them up on your materials, finalize technical preparation.

Active

On the day of the event, the wall is open to guests. They can scan the QR Codes and send their messages, which are displayed in real time on the screen. The experience becomes interactive and participatory.

What you can do: monitor incoming messages live, animate the event, encourage participation.

Finished

At the end of the event, the wall is closed. Guests can no longer send messages, but you keep all content for viewing or exporting later.

What you can do: view message history, download content, analyze participation.

Practical example of a wall lifecycle

Imagine you are organizing a wedding. Here is how the statuses naturally evolve:

1. Pending — You create your wall several months before the event (for example 6 months before the wedding). You configure the theme, colors, and display options. Everything remains editable at this stage.
2. Deployed — A few months before the wedding (or when you are ready), you generate the QR Codes. You can print them and prepare them in advance (for example 2 to 3 months before) to install them on your materials or venue.
3. Active — On the wedding day, you activate the wall. Guests scan the QR Codes and send their messages, which appear in real time on the screen.
4. Finished — At the end of the event, the wall is closed. Guests can no longer send messages, but you retain all content for viewing or exporting.

Tips for managing your statuses effectively

Plan deployment ahead: switch your wall to "Deployed" early enough to comfortably prepare and install QR Codes.

Activate at the right time: set the status to "Active" when your guests are present and ready to interact. Good timing maximizes engagement.

Prepare closure: notify your guests before the end so they have time to send their final messages.

Conclusion

Wall statuses guide you through every stage of your event, from preparation to memories. With EventWall, their management is simple, smooth, and automated, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your event.
