Go to ConsoleQR codes and open the tracked code.
- Under Controls, set When it works with From (optional) and Until (optional).
- Set a Scan limit (optional) for a one-off voucher.
- Add a Password (optional), 4 to 64 characters, that scanners enter before the code opens.
- Add Campaign tags so your website's analytics shows which poster brought people.
- Save each one as you go. Changes apply to every printed copy straight away.
Good to Know
- Controls come with Growth, or the Advanced QR add-on on Free and Starter.
- On Pro and Enterprise, rules send people elsewhere by Device (such as Android or Any phone) or Country. The first rule that matches wins.
- Its owner is emailed once when a code reaches its Until date or its scan limit, so a code on a wall doesn't stop quietly.
- Agoo keeps only a scrambled form of a password. If you forget it, set a new one.
- Passwords only work on codes that send people somewhere, such as a website.
If Something Goes Wrong
- People see "This code isn't live yet". Its From date hasn't come.
- People see "This code has reached its limit". Raise or clear the Scan limit.
- You don't see Controls. It's a plain code, or your plan doesn't include them.
