Blinko Local app: the Today tab

The Today tab is your real-time pulse — today's check-ins, redemptions, and active customers, the live thread of customer actions, 7-day trend graphs, purchase verification for stamp campaigns, and AI insights that need your attention.

The Today tab shows the real-time status of how your business is doing today. At a glance: how many check-ins have happened, how many coupon redemptions, and how many customers have been active so far today.

Below the counters runs a live thread of every customer action with your business as it happens. Switch it to graph view to see trends by action category — check-ins, redemptions, customer count and more — by day, for the last 7 days. It's the quickest answer to "is this week better than last?"

Purchase verification lives here too. If you're running a campaign that requires verifying a customer purchase — a Stamp Card, for example — the Today tab shows a code or a dynamically generated QR. With your approval, the customer enters the code in their app or scans your QR, and only then does the stamp land. The customer earns progress only on a qualified purchase — no drive-by stamps (see "Campaign type: Stamp Card").

Blinko AI also posts insights about your business here when something deserves your attention — so the tab isn't just counting, it's watching.

The Today tab is designed for the ten-second check between customers: open, glance at the counters and the thread, act on any insight, back to work. For the deeper who-is-this-customer view, that's the Customers tab (see "How to manage customers using Blinko").
