Understanding Calendly QR Code

A Calendly QR Code is a QR Code that redirects to a Calendly meeting link. This link can be a URL that redirects you to book an appointment or a one-time event URL.

A Calendly QR Code gives clients an easy way to add meetings to their calendars and set reminders with a simple scan. 

Incorporating a QR Code into Calendly can help you:

• Boost attendance
• Manage time better
• Enhance efficiency
• Save time and resources

Making a Calendly QR Code is an easy process.

On the Uniqode dashboard, click +Create and select QR Code from the dropdown.

Where to use Calendly QR Code

1. Conferences and Events

Networking events are vital to increasing overall sales and nurturing new leads. Adding a Calendly QR Code can further streamline accessibility and help you boost your network and connections.

Whether you’ve nurtured a new lead or want to connect with a vendor, a Calendly QR Code helps you quickly and easily schedule meetings. This can impress prospective clients and help you increase your sales and conversions.

2. Business cards at any touchpoint

While an average of 4-7 business cards are exchanged at events, getting people to an online meeting from here can be an unnecessary hassle. While business cards are exchanged at multiple touchpoints, placing a Calendly QR Code is a sure-shot way to get people to your Calendly meeting.

3. Workshops

If you’ve ever held a workshop and want to get people to sign up quickly for your classes, a Calendly QR Code provides a convenient way to close the gap for even the most non-committed members. 

Placing QR Codes on posters near the Workshop venue, PowerPoint, and doors can help increase registrations and signups.

4. Classes and lectures

Scheduling doubt-clearing sessions, feedback meetings, and online lectures doesn’t have to be as hard a hassle anymore. With 97% of students owning a smartphone, getting them to scan a Calendly QR Code makes sense. 

Placing Calendly QR Codes around educational institutions, including classrooms, can help increase student productivity and ease of access for teachers. 

5. Recruitment drives and HR meetings

Candidates need a quick and easy way to schedule an interview or follow-up meeting. 

Connecting with candidates has never been easier than with a Calendly QR Code. 

You can place these QR Codes on recruitment drives, LinkedIn, or email signatures to enable quick and easy meeting sharing.

Frequently asked questions

1. Does Calendly have a QR Code?

Yes, Calendly does have a QR Code feature that can be used to schedule meetings and events. However, Calendly’s QR Codes are static, meaning you can’t update them or track scans in real-time. They have limited data capacity and don’t support online retargeting. Any changes necessitate a new QR Code.

2. How do I create a QR Code for a calendar invite?

Creating a QR Code for a calendar invite using Uniqode is straightforward. Here are the steps:

1. Log in to Uniqode and go to the QR Codes section on the left panel.

3. Select Website
4. Paste the URL of your Calendly booking page or any other calendar invite link, such as Google Calendar.
5. Customize your QR Code as per your preference

3. How do I share my Calendly link?

Sharing your Calendly link is relatively straightforward. Here are the steps:

1. On your Calendly Home page, find the event that you want to share
2. At the bottom right of the event tile, select Share
3. Select Let this link expire after the first booking if you want the link to expire after it’s used once
4. Select Copy Link
5. Paste your link into a message and send it to your invitee.

From the app homepage, locate the Event Type you’d like to share, tap Copy single-use link, and then paste it into an email, text, or any other messaging platform to share it with the desired group of people.

Remember, these single-use links expire after 90 days. So, it’s always a good idea to check if your links are still active if they were created a while ago.
