What is an Email QR Code?
An email QR code is a scannable barcode that contains an email address along with optional pre-filled subject and message content. When scanned with any smartphone camera, it instantly opens the user's default email app with a new message pre-populated with your specified details. This eliminates typing errors and makes it incredibly easy for customers, leads, or contacts to reach out to you.
