Change the URL after printing; the code stays. Query parameters pass through. Redirect ยท Exit # A QR code URL redirect you can change after printing A QR code URL redirect sends the person who scans to a web page. The Redirect step ends a path on any URL you choose, and you can change that URL whenever you like, because the printed code points at your Linkbreakers link, not at the page.

Anything in the scanned link's query string, like UTM tags, is passed on to the destination. With conversion tracking on, the destination also gets an lbid parameter: the visit's id, so your site or your form tool can tie a sale or an answer back to the scan. What you end up with Each person lands on the page meant for them, and you can change where it goes after printing. Use it when * Any code that should open a web page. * The end of each path after a condition: one Redirect per country, language or device. * After a form, to send people on to what they came for. Worked example ## A poster that points somewhere new each season 1. 1Create a link with a Redirect to this season's offer page and print its QR code. 2. 2Keep Enable conversion tracking on, so each visit's id reaches the page as lbid. 3. 3When the season changes, edit the Redirect's Destination URL. The same poster opens next season's page, and the old one never has to be reprinted. How it fits ## Where the redirect sits in a workflow A Redirect ends a path. It can come right after the scan, or after a form, a menu or a condition.

FAQ ## QR code redirect questions Can I change where a QR code goes after printing? Yes. Edit the Redirect's destination; the printed code keeps working and opens the new page. Do UTM tags reach the page? Yes. Every parameter in the scanned link is passed on, and one with the same name replaces the destination's. What is the lbid parameter? With conversion tracking on, the destination gets lbid, the visit's id, so your site or form tool can tie a sale or an answer back to the scan.
