## Common Questions

### Q: What are the main use cases for EventX Lead Capture?

**A:** Key use cases include: (1) Opportunity Qualification -- exhibitors can tag and rate leads on the spot, (2) Time Savings -- instantly capture attendee info by scanning QR codes instead of collecting and processing physical name cards, (3) Post-Event Follow-up -- export all captured leads as CSV for CRM integration and email campaigns.

### Q: What if a lead capture user can't find their invitation email?
