QR code reporting: the numbers, on a schedule
Scheduled email reports, exports that open in Excel, and a weekly digest — for the people who need the figures but will never sign in.
Reports go to people, not dashboards
The person who commissioned the poster is rarely the person with the login, and asking them to sign in weekly to a tool they use for nothing else is how reporting quietly stops happening. So the report goes to them: a scheduled email, on the day you choose, with the figures in the body rather than behind a link.
What a report contains
Scans over the period against the one before it, the codes and links that moved, where the scans came from by country and region, what people scanned with, and anything that broke — a destination that started returning an error, a code whose scans fell off a cliff.
Grouped by campaign where you use them, so a report about the spring catalogue is about the spring catalogue rather than about everything you have ever printed.
Exports, for when the report is not the answer
CSV and Excel, of scans or of the codes themselves. The scan export is one row per scan with the fields we actually hold — time, country, region, device, code, campaign — which is enough to pivot and not enough to identify anybody, because we do not hold that.
Alerts are the report you did not schedule
A destination that goes dead, a first scan on a code you just printed, a spike far outside the usual pattern. Those are worth an email at the time rather than a line in a summary three weeks later, when the poster has been up and broken the whole while.
Questions
Can I get QR code reports by email?
Yes. Scheduled reports go out on the day you choose, with the figures in the email body rather than behind a sign-in, so they reach the people who commissioned the work and do not have an account. A weekly digest and alerts for dead destinations and unusual spikes are separate switches.
Can I export QR code scan data?
CSV and Excel, of scans or of codes. One row per scan with time, country, region, device, code and campaign. There is no personal data in it because none is collected — you can pivot it, you cannot identify anybody from it.
How far back does the reporting go?
Scan history is kept for the life of the account on paid plans. Free accounts keep full analytics too — the limit there is on how many dynamic codes you can have, not on how much of their history you can see.
Try it with one code
The free plan has no expiry and asks for no card, and the analytics behind it are the same ones a paying customer gets.
Free forever for one person. No card, and scans are never metered.
