Through the Zapier integration provided by Uniqode, you can automatically change the destination URL of your dynamic QR Codes by using Google Sheets.

For this integration, you must create a sheet with the QR code’s name and Website URL. Optionally, if you want to save the respective QR code’s ID and downloadable link, you can add the QR Code ID and Download URL in the consecutive columns.
