Creating QR Codes in TextingOnly
How to create, customize, and deploy QR codes in TextingOnly. Each QR code links directly to a collector, triggering an OTTO qualification flow the moment a contact scans.
What It DoesShows how to create, customize, and deploy QR codes that launch an OTTO flow on scan.
How It WorksEach code links to a collector, triggering the qualification conversation the moment it’s scanned.
Best ForPrint, signage, packaging, and any offline placement you want to connect to SMS.
Create a QR Code
- 1Go to Entry Points → QR Codes in the left navigation bar.
- 2Click + New QR Code.
- 3Select the Collector this QR code should trigger when scanned.
- 4Name the QR code (e.g., “Front Door Signage — Location A”). This name appears in your attribution reports.
- 5Click Generate. Download in SVG (for print) or PNG (for digital).
SVG format is required for large-format print (vehicle wraps, yard signs, billboards). PNG is fine for digital assets and small print items.
QR Code Customization
TextingOnly QR codes can be customized with your brand colors and logo insertion. Access customization options in the QR generator panel. The underlying scan destination does not change — only the visual appearance of the QR pattern.
Deployment Tips
- Test before printing — Always scan the QR on your own device before placing a print order.
- Minimum size — 1 inch × 1 inch for reliable scanning. Larger is always better.
- High contrast — Dark QR on light background. Avoid placing on busy photographic backgrounds.
- One QR per surface type — Use separate QR codes for different placements (window cling vs. direct mail vs. yard sign) for accurate attribution per surface.
QR Attribution in Reports
Each scan is logged with timestamp and a scan-level proximity signal (cell-tower / WiFi area — not device location data) plus the collector source. In the Reports section, go to Scans & Clicks to view per-QR scan volume, opt-in rate, and approximate proximity data. Each QR code’s performance is isolated — you can compare scan volume and conversion across every surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update what collector a QR code links to without reprinting?
Yes — Dynamic QR codes in TextingOnly can be redirected to a different collector from the dashboard at any time. The QR image on print does not change, but the destination does. This is the core advantage of Dynamic QR codes over static QR codes.
How do I track which physical location generated a scan?
Create a separate QR code for each location and name them accordingly. Each QR code reports independently in Scans & Clicks. For multi-location franchise accounts, each location’s QR data is isolated within its subgroup.
