Claravine + QRCode Monkey Integration

QR codes can be the perfect way to engage with customers in today’s multi-screen, on-the-go environment. But to deliver that experience successfully, you need to ensure your data standards are followed by the teams generating these codes. That’s why Claravine integrates with QR Code Monkey. Our platform, The Data Standards Cloud, can automatically generate a QR code image per row of data, making it easy to:

• Accelerate QR code creation without having to worry about the technical complexities of deep link and experience configuration
• Configure code type (file type, color, transparency, size) for any team in a template while auditing and validating data entry against marketing standards
• Enrich data for improved dimensionality and segmentation in analysis
• Connect every bit of QR code data to your measurement teams and platforms to analyze effectiveness

Once the connector is set up, when you submit your dataset, Claravine provides a link to a QR Code for each row. Clicking that link sends the full URL (or shortened URL) to QR Code Monkey, which sends back the designed QR Code as customized by your administrators per template. If using QR Code Studio, Claravine will send the URL, shortened URL, and QR Code data back to QR Code Monkey reporting.

• Templates: Outbound Configuration

  Claravine can generate a QR Code image with the data from every submission. Administrators can design the QR Code configuration, a shortened link, and file type and size per template. If using QR Code Studio, Claravine will send the URL, shortened URL, and QR Code data back to QRCode Monkey reporting. QR Code Monkey does not permit dynamic QR Code creation via API.

  When you submit your dataset, Claravine provides a link to a QR Code for each row. Clicking that link sends the full URL (or shortened URL) to QR Code Monkey, which sends back the designed QR Code. Note: Each link expires after 20 clicks to view or download the code.

  User Experience

  In the template submission table with the QRCode Monkey integration, the user will fill in the submission table as usual. Claravine will generate a link that the user will click to download the high resolution QR Code (as PNG, SVG, PDF, or EPS), as well as the shortened URL (if applicable).

  

  QRCode links have a maximum of 20 times they can be clicked. The reason for this is that the QR code isn’t generated until the link is clicked, and the link can be clicked by anyone with the link (i.e., it can be clicked from within Claravine, Excel, etc.). Since each click generates a new QR code, QR Code Monkey charges each time a QR code link is clicked, so the click limit is to keep a link from being shared and clicked hundreds or thousands of times and causing a large surprise bill.
