How it works
Go from scan to organized contact in just a few simple steps.
- 1. Scan the QR codeOpen the event on your phone and scan a badge or a card. A code is read directly; anything else is read from a photo.
- 2. Check the detailsName, company, title, email and phone are shown back to you. Nothing is saved until you confirm it.
- 3. Organize & tagThe event is added as a tag automatically. Add your own tags and notes while you are there.
- 4. Follow up and trackSee the event's dashboard, and send one introduction email so they have your details too.

Good lightingScan in a well-lit area for the best accuracy.
Keep it steadyHold your device still and center the QR code in the frame.
Scan the right codeLook for a code that holds contact details (a vCard or a link). Some large shows print only the organiser's own identifier, which no other scanner can read: photograph the badge instead.
