Promotion page: limited in time link

Scenario

You want people will be redirected to your promotion web page after scanning the QR codes that you distributed to your resellers.

Your promotion will be active only for a specific time frame (from date to date), so you would like users to be redirected to other pages before and after the promotion (with a static QR code this would require you to change and redistribute the QR code image twice).

Solution

Define the activation date and/or time interval:

  • Active from date
  • Active to date
  • Active from time
  • Active to time


Then set the redirect URLs for users who scan the QR code before and after the activation period:

  • URL before activation date
  • URL after expiration date

By setting only the date, the time is set as follows:
From date field: from h. 12:00 am (h. 00:00 – midnight)
To date field: up to h. 11:59 pm (h. 23:59)

By setting only the time, every day is considered valid (unless somewhere else differently set).

Click the button to save the QR-Code in the database

This way...

users will be redirected to different pages depending on whether the promotion is active or not.
