# QR Code Generator

> Learn how to create and manage QR codes in ChatbotX to guide customers directly into chatbot flows from print materials and physical stores.

**QR Code Generator** is a tool that allows you to automatically generate QR codes and short URLs. When customers scan a QR code using their smartphone camera or click the link, ChatbotX instantly triggers a pre-configured chatbot scenario (Flow) for consultation or customer care.

This is an ideal solution for offline marketing and physical retail: print QR codes on product packaging, business cards, flyers, store standees, or event materials to seamlessly capture customers into automated support sequences.

## Accessing QR Code Generator

From the left navigation bar in ChatbotX, select **Tools** and click the **QR Code Generator** card.

## Customer Scanning Experience

When a customer scans the QR code on a product or clicks the short link, ChatbotX displays a multi-channel landing page:

</Frame>

1. The landing page shows all active messaging channels supported by your business (such as Telegram, Webchat, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, TikTok...).
2. Customers choose their preferred messaging app and click **Continue**.
3. The messaging app opens and the Bot automatically sends the initial response according to your configured Flow.

## Best Practices and Important Notes

<Note>
  QR codes in ChatbotX are dynamic QR codes. You can change the linked **Bot Response** flow in settings at any time without altering the QR code image or breaking links already printed on physical media.
</Note>

<Note>
  When printing on large physical items like store standees, posters, or banners, set **Size (optional)** to 600px or higher to ensure the QR code image remains sharp when scaled up.
