Choose New code, then one of the static types:
| Type | What a phone does with it |
|---|---|
| Static link | Opens the web address held in the code |
| Text | Shows a short piece of text |
| Opens a new email to an address, with an optional subject and message | |
| Phone number | Offers to call the number |
| Wi-Fi | Joins a Wi-Fi network |
| Contact card | Offers to save a contact |
Fill in its fields and choose the required Classification values: a static code works as soon as it is made, so it needs them now. Then choose Create the code.
What static means
- It works wherever it is printed, without the service.
- It can never be changed once printed. Change the content makes a new image; copies already printed keep the old content.
- Its scans cannot be counted, so it has no analytics.
- It cannot be paused or scheduled. Archiving it only hides it from the list.
Contact cards make dense codes that need printing larger. A dynamic code that points at a contact page on your website stays small and can be updated.
