You can now export your attendance reports as an Excel workbook within AttendList.

Just open any meeting report, click the blue Export button, and select Excel. You'll get an .xlsx file with the same data as the CSV spreadsheet export, that opens directly in Microsoft Excel.

Excel exporting is available on the Pro plan. View pricing or learn more.

AttendList now notices when you keep using the same Google Meet code, and suggests turning those meetings into a recurring session.

When a Meet code has been used for three or more meetings in the last 30 days, you'll see a banner on the meeting page. Click Create recurring session and the form opens with the code and title already filled in.

If the meeting isn't part of a series, dismiss the banner and it won't come back for that code.

Recurring Sessions let you group related meetings together, so you can track attendance across a whole class, training course or weekly standup, rather than one meeting at a time.

Create a session from the Recurring Sessions page and choose how meetings are matched:

• By meeting code, for meetings that always use the same Meet link.
• By meeting title, for meetings whose titles share the same text.

You can also set a start and end date, to capture a single term or cohort.

Each session shows every participant's attendance rate and session-by-session history, alongside charts of attendance over time. Meetings you've already recorded are included straight away, and new ones are added automatically.

Read more in our Recurring Sessions guide.

The AttendList API is now available in beta, giving you programmatic access to your meeting and attendance data.

With the API, you can:

• List and filter meetings by date range, status, and more
• Retrieve detailed attendance data for any meeting, including participant sessions and durations
• Access participant information across all your tracked meetings

Our API makes it easy to integrate AttendList data into your own tools, dashboards, or workflows. It's currently available on our Teams plan.

To get started, generate an API token from your API settings page and check out the API Reference for full documentation.

We've removed the 60-participant cap from our free plan. Every plan now tracks all participants in your meetings — up to Google Meet's own 1,000-person limit.

On top of that, email address tracking is now available on all plans. If participant email addresses are available, AttendList will include them in the attendance report automatically.

Enjoy!

The participant attendance timeline has been redesigned.

Each participant's timeline now clearly shows when they were present, away, or absent during a meeting, with exact join and leave times displayed inline.

You can now tag your meetings with custom labels to keep everything organized.

Create tags with a name and color, then apply them to any meeting from the meeting page. Tags are shared across your organization, so your whole team can use the same labels.

You can also filter meetings by tag on the dashboard and participant pages, making it easy to find exactly what you're looking for.

The date range filter across AttendList now uses a proper calendar picker, making it much easier to select exact date ranges for your meetings and participants.

This makes it easy to view & export meetings for a specific date range, plus, each page will re-calculate stats based on the selected group of meetings.

This is handy for our participants page, to see how many meetings someone attended for a given timespan, and their attendance rate.

The AttendList dashboard and participant pages now default to showing the last 7 days of meetings, rather than loading your entire meeting history upfront.

This makes the pages load noticeably faster. You can still switch to any other time range using the date range filter.

Live meeting durations are now more accurate for each participant. Previously, the duration wouldn't calculate until the meeting had ended, which could be confusing if you viewed or exported a report while the meeting was ongoing.

This has been improved, so durations are now calculated continuously for all participants throughout the meeting.

You can now bulk export a participant's meetings as a single spreadsheet, directly from their profile page.

Just visit any participant's profile, and click the download icon next to the date range filter. All their meetings for the selected period will be exported into a single CSV file.

This is perfect for quickly pulling together attendance records for billing, invoicing, or reporting purposes. Plus, it's simpler than bulk-exporting all meetings (which you can do via your main AttendList Dashboard) and then filtering them manually.

The Participants Overview now has a Your Team tab, so you can quickly filter the participant list down to just the members of your organization.

This makes it easy to quickly view attendance for specific members of your team, across all their tracked meetings.

The participant profile page now shows total time spent in meetings, so you can see at a glance how much time someone has spent in meetings for a given time range.

By using the new date range filters, it's also possible to calculate how much time someone was in meetings for the current and previous months. This can be very useful and time-saving for billing and invoicing purposes in some businesses.

For example, calculating the total time a tutor spent in online classes for a given month, which you can then multiply with their hourly rate to calculate their monthly pay. ie: 6.5 hours x $30/hr = $195

This new stat, alongside the existing meeting count and attendance rate, gives you a more complete picture of each participant's engagement.

You can now rename any attendance report for your meetings, directly from the report page.

Just click the title, type a new name, and press Enter / Save.

Enjoy! 🎉

You can now export your attendance reports as a PDF within AttendList.

Just open any meeting report, click the blue Export button, and select PDF. You'll get a clean, print-ready file with all the same data as the CSV spreadsheet export — ideal for auditing or submitting to regulatory bodies.

PDF exporting is available on the Pro plan. View pricing or learn more.

Enhanced dashboard meetings table

I've also updated the table of attendance reports on the AttendList Dashboard. It's now clearer and includes information like:

• whether the report has been linked with a Google Calendar event
• whether the report is shared
• any note attached to the report, if present.

AttendList now integrates directly with Google Sheets and your email!

Pro subscribers can now:

• Automatically upload the attendance report to Google Sheets after the meeting, and
• Automatically receive attendance by email after the meeting

To get started, just visit the integrations page of the AttendList Dashboard and enable the relevant settings:

You can configure:

• Email integration: enable this setting to receive attendance reports via email after each meeting.
• Shareable links: automatically share the attendance report and include the public link in the attendance email.
• Google Sheets integration: upload the attendance report to Google Sheets automatically after the meeting.
• Upload folder: specify a custom Google Drive folder to upload all attendance reports into.

This month I've released the participant overview section.

Now, you can explore a detailed overview of any participant, and see their average attendance % alongside all the meetings they've joined.

I've also shipped plenty of small UI tweaks and bug-fixes.

Finally, I released a new version of the Chrome Extension, v1.2.4. Now, clicking the "AttendList" logo will take you directly to your attendance reports, rather than the AttendList homepage.

This month I've released a new bulk export feature for AttendList Pro & Teams subscribers, letting you export an entire collection of meetings at once:

It exports into a compact CSV format so you can quickly see all the information about each meeting and it's participants.

I've also shipped a small UI improvement to live meeting badges — you can now see how long a live meeting has been running for:

Finally, I released an update to the AttendList Chrome Extension which fixes some small bugs & improves reliability. You should notice that the extension never gets "stuck" anymore!

AttendList has been growing quickly lately, which is awesome! 🥳 However, my servers are struggling to keep up with demand, which is less awesome. 😔

AttendList has, up until now, had no usage caps, but it's getting to the point where the user experience for everyone is beginning to suffer (ie: lag, slow polling of live meetings).

This is because AttendList does a lot of processing on its servers, to make sure the most accurate meeting information possible is recorded for you (which is why so many AttendList users remark at how accurate & easy to use it is). However, this comes at the cost of needing powerful servers, which is getting expensive, fast 💰.

To that end, starting from next Monday, the 18th of August, the following usage caps will be in place for the free AttendList plan:

• Track attendance in up to 10 meetings each week
• Record attendance for up to 60 participants per meeting

You will start to see limit information appearing from today, but it won't be active until August 18th.

If you need to record more meetings per week or track more participants, consider upgrading to AttendList Pro or Teams. Those plans also include advanced CSV exports & longer meeting history. Learn more at AttendList's Pricing page here.

Finally, as a thank you to everyone already using AttendList, I've created the coupon code — THANKYOU-20 — which you can apply to save 20% on any paid AttendList plan (the coupon will expire on August 19th, so you'll need to upgrade before then).

I've just released a major update to the AttendList UI. It overhauls the main page to group meetings more clearly, and makes room for a meeting search bar.

That's right — you can now search for a specific meeting by it's title or code, and do the same for participants (search by their name).

This UI update also makes room for the Team panel, available in AttendList Teams. AttendList Pro & Teams are new paid versions of AttendList with some very handy features:

• Pro: Advanced spreadsheet export, record participant emails, longer meeting history (30 days).
• Team: All Pro features for your entire team. Plus, view all meetings & reports from your team members

You can join the trial via the subscription page.

You can now share your meetings. You can generate a shareable link to any of your attendance reports, perfect for sending to a colleague.

Just click the new "Share" button to automatically generate a shareable meeting link:

I've also shipped lots of under-the-hood improvements related to fixing bugs & improving performance.

It's been an exiting month for AttendList!

We launched AttendList earlier this month, and we've added some exciting new features that makes AttendList an even better attendance tracker for Google Meet.

Meeting Notes

Meeting notes are now available in AttendList.

AttendList now supports meeting notes!

This makes it easy to record information about the meeting, like why someone arrived late or had to leave early.

Just press the "Note" button in the top-right corner of a meeting's page to jot down your thoughts, then hit save.

Screenshare Tracking

AttendList can now detect when someone shares their screen in a meeting.

AttendList can now detect when someone shares their screen in a Google Meet meeting and adds that to the attendee timeline.

We can track exactly how long the screensharing lasted for, and when it began, giving you even more insight into each attendee during a meeting.

Bug fixes and stability

Finally, we also fixed a few bugs & improved our time tracking logic:

• AttendList now correctly calculates each participant's attendance time even when they share their screen,
• Improved our onboarding flow to make it clearer if a user hadn't linked their Google Meet account
• Other minor tweaks & improvements
