Still hanging onto that old iPhone 4? Not all phones have an updated operating system that enables QR Code scanning natively from the built in camera. The workaround? Ask the user to open Facebook, search for “QR Code Scanner” and scan the code that way. Instead, the phone will scan the code, offer to open in Messenger, and then end up at a blank screen.
#CODEPOINTS FACEBOOK MESSENGER ANDROID#
When you scan the QR Code with some Android devices, Google doesn’t like sending their users to an unknown URL embedded in the QR Code. QR Codes scanning to your Messenger Marketing Chatbot are a great way to engage and caputre a large segment of your audience, but it doesn’t work for everyone. And we all have that one (or two) friends who greatly dislike Facebook and don’t have the Messenger app. Not everyone uses Messengerįacebook Messenger is popular in some circles, but not in all. This is likely to do with how the information was cached and stored and is a tiny little glitch in the system. I just ask the user to re-scan again and it sorts itself out. Occasionally I come across a user trying to scan a new QR Code to my bot who previously scanned one of mine before, and Messenger relaunches the old original chatbot flow, not the new one.
Instead, while we are in the transition of QR Codes making their way back into mainstream use, I recommend using them alongside in-person interactions such as networking events, conferences, and in some cases, presentations. Most people don’t realize that native QR Code scanning is now built into their phone camera and that they don’t need a third party app.įor this reason, trying to get people to engage with your messenger marketing chatbot using stand-alone print materials such as postcards, mailers, table toppers, or random stickers is not going to have a very high useage rate. I have printed my branded QR Codes on 2″ x 2″ stickers that I can now place anywhere I want including on the back of my conference badges, as a treasure hunt around a store, on my coffee mug … pretty much anywhere! This is the one everyone is asking me about. Deliver freebies, ask multiple choice questions, have them play a game, give them your contact details, get the conversation started!
This one blows minds when done right! You can use your QR Code in your powerpoint presentation and audience members can hold up their phone, scan the code, and start a Messenger converstaion with your bot during your presentation. You can grab a copy here for yourself, and yes, this link opens in Messenger: When I do a workshop, I usually include a QR Code on any handout materials so that students can grab a free download of my Facebook Ads Glossary to help with training. I teach Faceobok Ads including Messenger Ads for chatbots.
