Zapier recipe
Change a QR Code's Link Automatically
A printed code can point somewhere new without anyone logging in: when this week's menu is published, a listing changes, or a campaign moves to its next stage. The Zap finds the code and updates its destination.
When this happens
Any app (e.g. Google Sheets, Airtable, Schedule by Zapier): Updated Row / Every week
Do this
ScanOrbit: Update QR Code
You need: ScanOrbit Business (the Zapier app is included), a Zapier account, and the ScanOrbit app added to Zapier from our invite link.
Set it up
- Step 1
Pick what triggers the change
An updated row in Google Sheets or Airtable, a new file in Google Drive, or a schedule.
- Step 2
Search: ScanOrbit → Find QR Code
By name or short code.
- Step 3
Action: ScanOrbit → Update QR Code
Set the new destination URL. You can also rename it or pause it.
- Step 4
Test with your phone
Scan the printed code and check it opens the new link.
Fields
| QR code | From Find QR Code |
| New destination URL | From the trigger |
| New name (optional) | |

Ideas
- Weekly specials: a new link every Monday.
- Real estate: a sold listing's sign points to the agent's other listings.
- Events: the code moves from the registration page to the live schedule on the day.
