How To Make and Use QR Codes in Event Hawk!

QR codes are a great tool for linking customers to websites, promotions, or specific landing pages with just a scan. In EventHawk, creating dynamic QR codes allows you to easily manage and update URLs without reprinting or redistributing the physical codes. Whether you’re using them on business cards, flyers, or banners, dynamic QR codes provide flexibility and convenience. In this article, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to create, customize, and manage dynamic QR codes within EventHawk.

Step 1: Create a QR Code

• Navigate to Sites: On the left-hand side menu of EventHawk, click on Sites.
• Select QR Codes: At the top of the page, click on QR Codes and then select QR Code.
• Name Your QR Code: Give your QR code a name (e.g., “EH Test”). This helps you identify the QR code later.
• Choose QR Code Type: Select Website as the type of QR code you want to create. This allows you to set a URL that the QR code will redirect to.

Step 2: Set the URL (Dynamic QR Code Feature)

1. Enter Initial URL: In the URL field, enter the URL where you want your QR code to initially redirect (e.g., www.google.com).
2. Save Your QR Code: After entering the URL, click Save to create the QR code.
   
   Dynamic Functionality:
   The real power of dynamic QR codes lies in their ability to be updated WITHOUT needing to reprint.
   For example:
   Print your QR code now with www.google.com as the URL.
   Later, update the same QR code to redirect to www.facebook.com or any other URL, WITHOUT needing to reprint the physical QR code.
   
   
   
   

 

Step 3: Customize the QR Code

1. Design Your QR Code: You can customize the design of your QR code to better match your branding:
2. Download Your QR Code: Once you’re happy with the design, you can download the QR code for printing.
3. Save Your Changes: Make sure to save your changes before exiting.

 

Step 4: Edit the QR Code (Dynamic Update)

1. Go Back to QR Codes Section: To update your QR code, return to the QR Codes section.
2. Click Edit: Find the QR code you want to edit, and click the Edit button next to it.
3. Change the URL: Update the URL to the new destination (e.g., www.facebook.com).
4. Save the Update: After changing the URL, click Save to apply the update.

Dynamic Functionality in Action:

Once the QR code is updated, any user who scans the printed code will be automatically redirected to the new URL (e.g., www.facebook.com), without needing to reprint or redistribute the QR code.
