With Uniqode's latest bulk QR Code update, you can now carry out several operations on entire batches of QR Codes to better organize, analyze and use the QR Codes you create, leading to quicker and more easily deployed QR Code campaigns.

QR Code menu operations

From assigning labels to QR Codes for better management to downloading them in bulk - several bulk operations can be carried out directly from the QR Code menu.

To start, Log in to the Uniqode dashboard and select QR Codes.

1) Assigning labels to batches of QR Codes

Labels help you classify and organize batches of QR Codes based on projects, campaigns, goals, marketing channels, and more. They also turn-on you to carry out other bulk operations.

Here's how you can label entire batches of QR Codes at once:

Step 1 - Select the QR Codes for labeling

Begin by selecting the QR Codes you wish to put under the same label. You can do this by selecting the checkboxes next to the relevant QR Codes or using the filter option to filter QR Codes based on name, URL, QR Code type, campaign, or source.

Note - If you do not select any QR Codes for labeling, the label will be applied to all the QR Codes across your account.

Step 2 - Select the label

Press the 'Label' button at the top of the page to assign labels to the selected QR Codes. Select the label(s) from the list. You can also create a new label by typing its name into the 'Search label' bar.

Click Apply once you’ve selected the label(s).

You’ve successfully assigned labels to your QR Codes.

2) Download multiple QR Codes at once

You can now download unlimited QR Codes at once, making deployment quick and easy.

Here's how:

Step 1: Select the QR Codes you wish to download

You can download a select few or all the QR Codes from your account.

Select the QR Codes you wish to download using the checkboxes on the left or filter the QR Codes by label, name, campaign, source, type, or URL.

Not selecting any QR Codes will imply that you wish to download all QR Codes by default.

Step 2: Begin download

Click on the 'Download' button at the top of the list to download your QR Codes in bulk.

Select the file type, size, and error correction level, and click Download.

The download will start immediately in your browser, and you’ll receive the QR Codes in a zipped file.

3) Edit or Update multiple QR Codes at once

You can integrate Google Sheets with your Uniqode account to bulk-edit QR Codes at once.

Note: This feature is available to customers on PRO plan and above.

Bulk editing is available only on Website, Email, Call, SMS, and Mobile App type QR Codes.

Step 1: Select the QR Codes you wish to edit

You can download a select few or all the QR Codes from your account.

Select the QR Codes you wish to download using the checkboxes on the left or filter the QR Codes by label, name, campaign, source, type, or URL.

Step 2: Begin export

Click the 'Export' button at the top of the list to download the metadata of all your QR Codes in .csv format. This report has QR Code metadata under the following column names:

QR Code ID, QR Code Name, Organization, QR Code URL, Destination URL, QR Code Type, Owner email ID, Creation Date & Time, Labels (if any), Frame Text and Scans

Step 3: Integrate Google Sheets with Uniqode

Refer to this article to learn how to install Uniqode's Add-On in Google Sheets.

You can connect one Google Sheet with one Organization on your Uniqode account.

Step 4: Update QR Codes on the Google Sheets

  • Open the downloaded CSV report of your selected QR Codes with Google Sheets.

  • For example, add "Google Sheets Update" on all the QR Code names.

  • Select all the rows.

  • Go to Extensions ➤ Uniqode Create / update Dynamic QR Codes

  • Map the column names to Input and Output Columns as shown below:

  • Next, you can customize the templates of your QR Codes, enable GPS location collection, or change the download settings of your QR Codes in bulk:

  • Click CREATE / UPDATE

  • That's it! Your QR Codes should reflect the changes made on the Uniqode dashboard.

QR Code analytics operations

You can now export analytics for multiple QR Codes at once using the labels feature. Remember, you will first need to label the QR Codes you wish to analyze.

Once you've labeled your QR Codes, follow these steps:

Step 1: Select the QR Codes

Head over to the Analytics page by selecting it from the left panel.

Select the label(s) for the QR Codes’ data you want to export.

Once you’ve selected the label(s), click Export.

Step 2: Select the data range

Select the date range for which you want to export the analytics data.

Click Export.

That's it! You’ll now receive an email with a CSV file of your exported data.
