About Email QR Codes

An email QR code stores a mailto: link. When someone scans it, their phone opens the default mail app with a new draft that already has your address, the subject, and the body filled in. The user still has to tap send, which keeps the action under their control.

Because the address and content are encoded directly into the pattern, the code works without any redirect or server. There is nothing to expire and no account that can be suspended.

Common Uses

  • Business cards. Let the recipient open a draft addressed to you with one scan.
  • Support desks. A code on a poster or a receipt opens a support draft.
  • Event follow-ups. Booth visitors can send feedback without typing your address.
  • Sales enquiries. A prefilled subject like "Product enquiry" helps route the message.
  • Restaurant feedback. Table cards let guests send feedback instantly.
  • Newsletter signup prompts. Prefill with the subject "Subscribe" to sort incoming mail.

How the Prefilled Content Works

Everything after mailto: becomes the draft. Here is how the pieces fit together:

  • The recipient is set directly after the colon: mailto:hello@example.com
  • The subject is added as a query parameter: ?subject=Your%20subject
  • The body is added after an ampersand: &body=Your%20message

Solancr URL-encodes your subject and body automatically, so special characters and line breaks are handled correctly.

Tips for Reliable Email Codes

  • Keep the subject and body short. Long text produces a denser QR pattern that is harder to scan.
  • Test the code with a phone before printing at scale. Behavior varies slightly between mail apps.
  • Use a single recipient address. Some mail apps do not handle multiple addresses well.
  • Use a real, monitored mailbox. Codes on printed material tend to stay in circulation for years.
  • If you need richer content, link to a contact form instead with the URL or Forms type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the email send automatically after scanning?

No. The scan opens a draft with the fields prefilled. The user reviews the message and presses send themselves.

Which email apps handle the draft?

The scan triggers the device's default mail handler. This is usually the built-in Mail or Gmail app, but it depends on the user's configuration.

Can I use multiple recipients?

Some mail clients support comma-separated addresses in the To field, but support varies. For most uses, a single recipient is more reliable.

Is the email QR code free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark, and no scan limit.

What if the user does not have a mail app configured?

The scan may prompt them to set up an email account. This is a limitation of the device, not the code.

Can I include a CC or BCC?

Some mail clients support cc= and bcc= parameters, but support is inconsistent. For simple prefilled drafts, keep to recipient, subject, and body.
