Quick Answer
Auto-login allows you to pass player information directly into a SocialPoint game using a special URL. When a player clicks the link, their details are automatically registered or verified, and the login screen is skipped.
Auto-login is supported in:
Attendee Participation Game (APG)
Virtual Prize Wheel
Trivia

Log in existing players
Embed SocialPoint inside event apps or LMS platforms

Auto-login works by appending player data as URL parameters.
