Linkbreakers + Tally: QR forms for privacy-first teams

Short answer

Linkbreakers QR codes can redirect scans to any Tally form URL. Tally is a privacy-conscious form builder that does not track respondents or show ads — which makes it a good fit for organizations that want clean, lightweight data capture without the tracking overhead of larger platforms. Linkbreakers provides the QR code and scan analytics; Tally handles the form experience and response storage.

Quick summary

• Route QR scans to Tally forms for a clean, no-tracking form experience for respondents
• No Tally account required for respondents — forms load in any browser via the QR redirect
• Connect Tally to Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, or any tool via Tally's native integrations or webhooks
• Use Linkbreakers analytics to track scan rates alongside Tally's response analytics
• Tally's free plan is generous — suitable for teams with low-to-moderate form volume
• Works for lead capture, startup feedback forms, event registrations, and packaging campaigns

What you can do with Tally + Linkbreakers

Tally is built around simplicity and privacy. It offers unlimited forms and unlimited responses on its free plan, does not serve ads to respondents, and does not use third-party tracking scripts. For teams that are sensitive to how their data collection tools behave toward their users — startups, nonprofits, educational institutions, and privacy-focused SaaS companies — Tally is a compelling alternative to more established but heavier form platforms.

When combined with a Linkbreakers QR code, Tally becomes the landing experience for your offline campaigns. Linkbreakers tracks the scan; Tally collects the data. Tally then forwards that data to your destination of choice — Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, a webhook, or Tally's own response dashboard.

Key use cases

Capture startup leads from print without a full CRM

Early-stage startups often have a lean tool stack. A CRM might be overkill for a team of five, but they still need to collect and organize leads from flyers, conference presence, or product demos. A Linkbreakers QR code on a brochure or business card links to a Tally form. The visitor fills in their name, email, and interest area. Tally sends the response directly to a Notion database or an Airtable base — tools the team is likely already using.

No CRM license, no complex integration, no developer required. The entire stack is Linkbreakers + Tally + Notion or Airtable, and it works from day one.

Collect packaging feedback without third-party tracking

For companies whose customers are privacy-conscious — cybersecurity software, privacy tools, legal services, healthcare products — the form experience sends a signal. Using a form platform that loads third-party trackers and ad pixels may erode trust. Tally's clean, no-tracking form experience communicates respect for the respondent's privacy.

A QR code on the product links to a Tally satisfaction survey. Respondents answer a few questions, submit, and that is the end of their interaction. Tally stores the responses and sends them to your team's Airtable or Notion database. No cookies, no pixels, no ad retargeting triggered by the form visit.

Run event registrations without sharing attendee data with ad platforms

Event organizers who want to collect attendee registrations via QR code have many form options, but most of them come with data sharing agreements that send attendee information to advertising networks. Tally's approach is different: respondent data stays within Tally and the destinations you explicitly configure. For events hosted by nonprofits, government bodies, academic institutions, or privacy-focused brands, this distinction matters.

A Linkbreakers QR code at the event registration desk links to a Tally form. Attendees scan and register on their phones. Tally sends the completed registrations to a Google Sheet or Notion database for the organizing team to access. No attendee data goes to a third-party advertising platform.

Internal data collection posted as QR codes in the workplace

QR codes are not only for customer-facing campaigns. Posted in a warehouse, a factory floor, or a retail back room, a QR code linking to a Tally form can collect shift reports, equipment inspection results, inventory counts, or HR pulse survey responses. Tally's simple interface works well for employees submitting data on their phone while on the floor. Responses go to a shared Notion or Airtable workspace where managers can review them in real time.

How to connect Tally with Linkbreakers

1. Create your form in Tally (at tally.so). Configure your fields, any conditional logic, and the success message.
2. In Tally, go to Integrations and connect your preferred data destination: Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, or a custom webhook.
3. Publish the Tally form and copy the public form URL from the Share tab.
4. Log in to app.linkbreakers.com and create or open the link you want to use.
5. In the link's workflow editor, set the redirect destination to your Tally form URL.
6. Optional — append hidden field values to the URL using Tally's URL parameter feature (Tally supports pre-filling hidden fields via URL query parameters). This lets you pass the QR code name or campaign identifier into each Tally response for attribution.
7. Generate your Linkbreakers QR code, publish the link, and test by scanning and completing the form.
8. Verify that the test response appears in your configured Tally destination (Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, or webhook).

Frequently asked questions

Does Tally have a free plan that works for this use case? Yes. Tally's free plan includes unlimited forms and unlimited responses. Tally Pro (a paid upgrade) adds features like removing the Tally branding from forms, custom domains, priority support, and additional integration options. For most QR-to-form use cases, the free plan is fully sufficient.

Can Tally send form responses to a CRM directly? Tally integrates natively with Notion, Airtable, and Google Sheets. For CRM integration (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, etc.), use Tally's webhook feature to send completed responses to an automation platform (Zapier, Make.com, or n8n), which then creates the CRM record. This adds one middleware step but is straightforward to configure.

How do I track which QR code a Tally response came from? Add a hidden field to your Tally form and set it via URL parameter in the Linkbreakers destination URL. For each Linkbreakers QR code that points to the same Tally form, append a different value for the hidden field (for example, ?hidden_field=event-name). Every Tally response will then include the QR code identifier.

Is Tally actually privacy-friendly, or is that just marketing? Tally's privacy approach is reflected in its product: no ads, no third-party tracking scripts loaded on the form page, and a clear privacy policy. For organizations with specific compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.), review Tally's privacy documentation and data processing agreements before using it for sensitive data collection.

Can I embed Tally in a Linkbreakers landing page instead of redirecting? Currently, Linkbreakers redirects the QR scan to the Tally URL rather than embedding it. The visitor opens the Tally form in their mobile browser, which is the standard experience for most QR-to-form workflows. Tally's mobile experience is clean and optimized for this use case.

What happens if a visitor scans the QR code but does not submit the Tally form? Linkbreakers records the scan event. Tally only records a response when the form is submitted. You can compare Linkbreakers scan counts against Tally response counts to calculate your scan-to-submission conversion rate and identify opportunities to improve the form or its placement.
