QR Code Scheduling – Helpdesk

This article explains the QR Code Scheduling feature in Scanova and how it helps manage QR Code campaigns efficiently.

Using this feature, you can:

Set QR Codes to automatically activate at a specific date and time
Configure automatic deactivation based on:
- A specific date and time, or
- A predefined number of scans
Manage time-sensitive campaigns, limited-time offers, event access, or usage-based experiences without manual intervention

Note: QR Code Scheduling works only for Dynamic QR Codes. Static QR Codes cannot be activated or deactivated after printing.

With QR Code Scheduling, users can control the availability of their QR Codes by defining activation and deactivation rules.
Schedule a QR Code to become active automatically at a future date and time
Schedule a QR Code to deactivate automatically after a specific date and time
Set a scan limit to automatically deactivate the QR Code after reaching the defined number of scans

This ensures users only access the intended content during the desired campaign period.

Log in to your Scanova account and navigate to My QR Codes
Select the QR Code for which you want to configure scheduling
Go to the Configure section
Navigate to Advanced Settings
Scroll down to QR Code Scheduling
Configure the required settings:
- Enable Auto-Activation and select the desired activation date and time
- Enable Auto-Deactivation and choose:
  - Date & Time-based deactivation, or
  - Scan Count-based deactivation
Add a Custom Deactivation Text to display a message when users scan a deactivated QR Code
Click on Apply
Click on Update QR Code to save the changes

Note: You can manually reactivate a deactivated QR Code anytime from the QR Code Manager.

The QR Code Scheduling feature is available on Standard and above plans.
