Scan Notifications & Webhooks

Staying informed about your QR code engagement allows you to react quickly to campaign performance. QR Code Genius provides multiple ways to receive real-time notifications for every scan.

Email Notifications

Receive a summary email directly to your inbox for every scan:

1. Enable Scan Notifications in the Advanced Options of your QR code.
2. Enter the email address where you'd like to receive alerts.
3. Every time your code is scanned, we'll send you the geolocation, device type, and time of the scan.

Webhooks (Pro Features)

For advanced users and developers, webhooks allow you to send scan data directly to your own applications, CRM, or automation tools (like Zapier).

1. Enable Scan Notifications.
2. Enter your Webhook URL.
3. Every scan will trigger a POST request to your URL with a JSON payload:

{
  "event": "qr.scanned",
  "qr_id": "uuid",
  "qr_title": "My Campaign",
  "timestamp": "2026-01-25T22:00:00Z",
  "scan_data": {
    "ip": "...",
    "country": "US",
    "city": "San Francisco",
    "device": "mobile",
    "os": "iOS",
    "browser": "Safari"
  }
}

Best Practices

• Rate Limiting: For high-traffic codes, we recommend using webhooks to handle the data volume efficiently rather than receiving thousands of emails.
• Privacy: IP addresses are masked to protect user privacy while still providing regional data.
