# What is “Public web flow”?

A public web flow is a Sociana web page that participants use without installing the app — ticket checkout, no-login polls and voting, public leaderboards or shared post links.

Also called: public web page, no-install web flow

## Public web flow in detail

Event audiences are messier than app-store logic assumes. Some attendees will not install anything for a two-hour session; some, like members of the public at a festival, were never going to. Public web flows exist for them. A QR code on a slide opens a browser page where the visitor votes or answers a poll; a ticket link opens checkout; a public leaderboard can be shown to a wider crowd; a revocable post link lets a single photo or reel be viewed outside the app. These pages run on the same engine as the app, so their data is not a separate silo. A public vote and an in-app vote add to the same tally, and results can appear on a venue screen in real time. Because there is no sign-in, duplicate protection and consent wording need deliberate design, and organisers can revoke links when a post should no longer be public.

## How Sociana uses it

Public web flows are one surface of the platform and include ticket checkout, no-login polls, no-login voting, public leaderboards and public post links, all reading from the same engine.

## Example

A partners meet displayed a QR on the plenary screen so partners without the app could still vote in live polls.

## Questions

What are examples of public web flows?

Ticket checkout, no-login live polls and voting, public leaderboards and revocable public post links, all opened in a browser without installing the app. Public web flows exist for them. A partners meet displayed a QR on the plenary screen so partners without the app could still vote in live polls.

Do web answers count with in-app answers?

Yes. Web and app responses merge into one result because both run on the same engine, and results can feed venue screens and the leaderboard. A public vote and an in-app vote add to the same tally, and results can appear on a venue screen in real time.

Can public links be switched off?

Post links are revocable by the organiser, so a shared post can be withdrawn from public view whenever needed. A public web flow is a Sociana web page that participants use without installing the app — ticket checkout, no-login polls and voting, public leaderboards or shared post links.
