SMS QR code

What is a SMS QR code?

An SMS QR code opens the messaging app with your number and a pre-written text ready to send. It's the easiest way to run text-to-join campaigns, voting, contests and quick requests, with no typing for the customer.

Popular ways to use it

  • Text-to-join

    Grow an SMS list by letting people text a keyword like JOIN or VIP.

  • Contests & votes

    Collect entries or votes at events and on packaging.

  • Appointments

    Let clients text “BOOK” to request a time slot.

  • Service requests

    Facilities and rentals: tenants report issues with a pre-filled text.

Tips for a QR code that always scans

  • Use a short, clear keyword in the message so replies are easy to sort.
  • Mention what happens next in the frame label, like “Text to join”.
  • Make sure the receiving number can actually handle incoming texts.
