Context-Aware User Experiences
A standard QR code is static: it sends everyone to the exact same place. But your users are diverse. They use different phones, live in different countries, and scan at different times. Why treat them all the same?
QR Lynx Smart Redirects allow you to create a single conditional QR code that adapts its behavior in real-time. It acts as a traffic controller, detecting the user's context and routing them to the most relevant destination.
This eliminates friction. No more landing pages asking users to "Choose your Language" or "Select your Store". The QR code simply takes them where they need to go, instantly.
Targeting Capabilities
Route traffic with precision rules.
Device Targeting
Send iPhone users to the App Store and Android users to Google Play automatically from a single scan.
Geo-Location
Direct users to their local branch website or regional store based on the country or city they access from.
Time Scheduling
Rotate destinations based on time of day. Show a 'Breakfast Menu' in the morning and 'Dinner Menu' at night.
Language Detection
Detect the user's browser language setting and route them to the Spanish, French, or English version of your site.
Random Split (A/B)
Split traffic randomly between two URLs to test different landing page designs or messaging strategies.
Scan Count Logic
Reward early adopters. Send the first 50 scanners to a 'Winner' page and the rest to a 'Consolation' page.

How to Create Smart Rules
Advanced routing made simple.
Start with a Dynamic QR
Choose the 'URL' type and ensure 'Dynamic' is selected. Smart rules require our routing server to function.
Add Redirect Rules
In the dashboard, go to 'Smart Rules'. Click 'Add Rule', select a condition (e.g., Device: iOS), and enter the specific URL.
Set Default Fallback
Always define a 'Default URL' for users who don't match any of your specific conditions (e.g., Desktop users).
Smart Use Cases
Solving complex routing problems.
App Downloads
One QR code printed on a billboard that works perfectly for both iPhone and Android users.
Global Marketing
A single product packaging that directs customers in Germany to the .de site and US customers to the .com site.
Restaurants
A table QR that shows the Lunch Menu until 4 PM, then automatically switches to the Dinner Menu.
Customer Support
Route scans to 'Live Chat' during business hours and to an 'Email Form' or 'FAQ' during the weekend.
Retail Chains
Direct users to the Google Maps location of the nearest store branch based on their city.
Marketing Tests
Run an A/B test on a print ad by sending 50% of traffic to Landing Page A and 50% to Page B.
Smart Redirect FAQs
Understanding conditional logic.
What happens if a user matches multiple rules?
Rules are prioritized from top to bottom. The system checks them in order, and the first rule that matches the user's condition triggers the redirect.
Does this require the user to enable location?
For country and city targeting, we use IP-based geolocation, which works automatically without asking for GPS permissions. It is fast and privacy-friendly.
Can I combine rules?
Currently, rules are evaluated sequentially. You can set up a chain: 'If iOS -> App Store', then 'If France -> French Site', then 'Default -> English Site'.
How accurate is the device detection?
It is extremely accurate. We analyze the 'User Agent' string sent by the browser to determine the operating system (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS).
Is there a limit to how many rules I can add?
Business plans typically allow for up to 5-10 rules per QR code, while Enterprise plans offer expanded limits for complex routing needs.
Can I use this for social media deep links?
Yes! You can configure rules to detect if a specific app is installed or use it to route mobile users to the app protocol (e.g., instagram://) while desktop users go to the website.
Do automated redirects slow down the loading time?
Not noticeably. The decision logic happens on our global edge servers in milliseconds before the redirection header is sent to the user.
Can I change the rules after printing?
Yes, fully Dynamic. You can add, remove, or reorder rules instantly from your dashboard without affecting the printed QR code.
