QR Code Launch

QR Code Launch: What is it?

The QR Code Launch feature lets you add a QR code to your marketing materials that directs users straight to a signup experience. Instead of navigating through your landing page, users are taken immediately to a streamlined version of the 'Explore' tab, making it faster and easier to get started.

QR Code Launch: How do I configure it?

  1. Navigate to the 'Channels' tab, then click the name of the Channel you want to configure.

  2. This will open the Channel Builder. Click the 'Sharing' tab.
    ​

  3. Scroll down to 'QR Code Launch', toggle on and a menu will appear below.

  4. The downloadable and scannable QR code appears first. You can download your QR code to include on all of your digital and print collateral!

  5. The QR Code Destination appears next. This is the URL where scanning the QR Code brings the user (this URL is automatically created from the Bandwango system and can not be adjusted).

  6. Experiences must have the explore tab enabled to be accessible via QR code. Click the 'Edit Explore Tab Settings' button to choose which Experiences you want accessible.

This QR code will remain the same unless you disable the feature and re-enable it later. If you choose to turn the feature off, you’ll first see the following warning message.
