Email QR codes
Open an email draft from a scan
An email QR code opens a draft in a compatible mail app. It can include the recipient, subject, and message for the person to review and send.
Use one on printed material when people need a way to contact your team without typing the email address.
Key advantages
Less to type
Add the recipient and subject to the draft. The person can check or change them before sending.
A useful prompt
Add a short draft message that tells people what details to include. They can edit it before sending.
A shortcut on printed material
Place the code on flyers, packaging, badges, invoices, or table cards. Opening and sending the draft still requires a compatible mail app.

Email QR code best practices
- Use a shared inbox when multiple people need to respond.
- Keep the prefilled subject specific so messages are easy to filter.
- Write a short draft body that prompts the scanner to add useful context.
- Test on iOS and Android because mail apps handle mailto links differently.
Add an email shortcut to print
Label the code so people know it opens an email draft. They will need a compatible mail app and must choose whether to send the message.
Open an email draft from a scan FAQs
Which app opens when someone scans?
The scanner’s device chooses the default mail app or shows available email apps that can handle mailto links.
Can I include a subject and message?
Yes. Add a subject and draft body so the email opens with helpful context already filled in.
Does scanning send the email automatically?
No. The scanner reviews and sends the email manually from their mail app.
Is the email address visible?
Yes. The recipient address is encoded in the QR code and can be seen by scanners or QR readers.
