Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about creating and using Email QR codes for business and personal use. Everything you need to know about the mailto protocol and compatibility.

What is an Email QR code?

An Email QR code opens the user's email app with a pre-filled message when scanned. You can set the recipient email address, subject line, and even the message body. It uses the standard 'mailto:' protocol that works with all email apps.

Can I pre-fill the subject and message?

Yes! You can customize the recipient email address, subject line, and message body. When someone scans the QR code, their email app opens with all these fields already filled in - they just hit send.

Which email apps does it work with?

Email QR codes work with any email app - Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and all others. The phone's default email app will open automatically when the QR code is scanned.

Can I use multiple email addresses?

The QR code opens with one primary recipient, but the user can add CC or BCC recipients in their email app before sending. For complex routing, consider using a single support email that forwards to multiple addresses.

Does the recipient need any special app?

No special app is needed! The QR code works with the built-in camera app on any smartphone. It simply opens whatever email app the user has set as their default.

Can I track who sends emails?

Email QR codes themselves don't track sends since the email is sent from the user's own app. However, you can include a unique reference code in the pre-filled subject or body to identify which QR code was scanned.
