Not just a QR Code.
A dynamic QR Code.
Change without reprinting.
Can your QR Code do this?
Most QR codes are static — print it and it is locked. TextingOnly QR codes are dynamic publishing tools built into the platform. Change the OTTO flow, update the offer, swap language routing, or redirect an expired campaign from the dashboard while the printed code stays exactly where it is.

What makes them dynamic
Six things TextingOnly QR codes do that generic QR generators don’t.
“Dynamic” isn’t just a marketing word here — it means the code points to a managed destination that you can update, redirect, or expire from the dashboard at any time.
EDIT
Update without reprinting
Change the offer, swap the OTTO flow, or update the campaign message from the dashboard. The printed QR stays the same. 10,000 mailers still in circulation now deliver your new message.
No reprinting needed
EXP
Expiration redirects
Set an expiration date — after the campaign ends, the QR automatically redirects to a URL of your choice. The code never goes dead. The “Spring Special” QR becomes the “Summer Special” page automatically.
Never a dead link

Scan-level reporting on every scan
A scan-level reporting fires at the moment of scan — proximity signal from the nearest cell tower or WiFi. Connects your offline placement to the platform without collecting device location data. Match to delivery logs or broadcast schedules for attribution.

Route the QR to a branded landing page instead of directly to SMS — show options, let users self-select, display a QR for desktop visitors, then launch the right OTTO flow for each choice.

A static QR code pointing to an expired campaign landing page is a dead link — embarrassing, trust-destroying, and wasted printed material. TextingOnly’s expiration redirect eliminates this entirely.
Set an expiration date when you create the campaign. When the date passes, the QR automatically redirects to any URL you specify — a current offer page, your homepage, a new campaign landing page. Every piece that carried the original QR now delivers the current experience without a single reprint. Use 1-to-1 Messaging for follow-up conversations with captured contacts.
“The 10,000 direct mail pieces still sitting in homes are now delivering our summer campaign. Without printing a single new piece.”

Questions about dynamic QR
Common questions
about TextingOnly QR codes.
about TextingOnly QR codes.
The questions we get most often from marketers and operations teams evaluating dynamic QR for their campaigns.
A generic QR encodes a fixed URL into the image. Once printed, it’s locked — you can’t change where it points without generating a new QR and reprinting. A dynamic QR encodes a short redirect URL that you control from a dashboard. You can update the destination, swap the OTTO flow, pause the campaign, or set an expiration — and every existing printed QR follows the new rules instantly. All flows run on a 10DLC registered number for full carrier compliance.
Yes. Every iPhone (iOS 11+) and every modern Android has QR scanning built into the native camera — no app download, no special scanner. The scan opens the native Messages app directly, pre-filled with the opt-in message. That’s the two-tap path: scan, send.
From the scan event itself, not from phone location settings. When the QR scan loads the SmartLink, the device’s coarse location is captured as part of the redirect event and logged against that specific QR’s placement ID. No permission prompts, no app dependencies — and it’s the scan location, not wherever the phone happens to be later.
Yes — that’s the expiration redirect pattern. A single QR printed on mailers, signage, or vehicle wraps can run a Spring campaign, auto-redirect to Summer on March 31, then to Fall, then to Holiday. Same physical QR, four campaign cycles, one print run. Attribution continues across all of them.
Yes. Every QR has its own attribution line — scans, opt-ins, opt-in rate, conversions, geo heat map, cost-per-lead. The placement report compares TV vs. direct mail vs. trade show vs. digital ad (or any set of placements) side by side so budget concentrates on what’s actually working. See the report in a demo →
