Understanding SGNL QR codes

Learn how dynamic SGNL QR codes work and why they continue working after the destination changes.

SGNL QR codes are dynamic.

A dynamic QR code points to a SGNL tracked link instead of permanently storing the final destination inside the code itself.

How do dynamic SGNL QR codes work?

A visitor scans the QR code, SGNL records the interaction, SGNL resolves the current destination, and then the visitor is sent there.

  4. 4Visitor is sent to the destination

Dynamic QR codes vs static QR codes

A static QR code permanently contains its destination. If the destination changes later, the printed QR code usually needs to be replaced.

A dynamic SGNL QR code points to a redirect that can resolve to a new destination without changing the printed code.

Can I change a QR code after printing it?

You cannot change the physical QR pattern, but you can change the destination behind a dynamic SGNL QR code.

If the asset remains the same, the historical analytics stay connected to that asset even after the destination changes.

Tip

If the new destination represents a completely different campaign, create a new asset so reporting stays easy to interpret.
