Frequently asked questions

Does scanning the code send the email automatically?

No - it opens a pre-filled draft in the scanner's email app; they still need to review and hit send themselves, just like composing a normal email.

Can I pre-fill the subject and body text, not just the recipient address?

Yes - typically you can set the recipient, subject line, and body text all in advance, so the scanner just needs to review and send rather than typing anything themselves.

Will this work with any email app on the scanner's phone?

It generally opens whatever the scanner has set as their default email app, using a standard mailto link format that most email apps recognize.
