What Smart Redirects Do
Smart redirects let one QR code send different users to different destinations based on rules.
This reduces QR sprawl and improves relevance at scan time.
High-Value Use Cases
- App-store split routing (iOS vs Android).
- Time-window menus or promotions.
- Language-based routing.
- Campaign fallback routing if destination is unavailable.
Planning Rules Before Setup
- Define a default fallback URL.
- Keep rule logic simple and testable.
- Avoid overlapping conditions unless priority order is explicit.
- Document rule purpose for support teams.
Configuration Paths
You can configure redirect rules:
- In generator advanced rules workflow.
- Programmatically via API where available.
Verification Checklist
- Test each rule branch from real devices.
- Verify timezone behavior for time-based rules.
- Confirm analytics still tracks final outcomes.
- Confirm fallback route works when conditions fail.
Common Issues and Fixes
- Wrong branch triggered: review rule order and conditions.
- Time-based mismatch: verify timezone assumptions.
- Inconsistent language routing: ensure locale detection and fallback settings are defined.
Security and Governance
- Keep redirect targets reviewed and approved.
- Monitor sudden scan anomalies.
- Restrict advanced rule editing to trusted operators.
