Scanning it prompts the phone to add the event straight to the user’s calendar. This is a static type. Once generated, the event details are fixed, so a rescheduled event needs a new code. It removes the manual step of typing event details from an invitation or flyer into a calendar app by hand. ## How an Event QR Code Works The code stores event data in a format calendar apps recognize automatically, prompting an add-to-calendar action the moment it is scanned. Because the data is encoded directly, no internet connection is required for the scan to work, and there is no scan tracking. ## When to Use an Event QR Code Use it on invitations, tickets, save-the-dates, or conference materials where getting the event onto someone’s calendar matters more than sending them to a webpage. If the event date or venue might change, hold off generating the final code until details are locked, since Event QR codes cannot be edited afterward. ## How to Create an Event QR Code in TLinky 1.

Download as SVG, PNG, WebP, or PDF once saved. ## FAQ ### Does an Event QR code work with both Google Calendar and Apple Calendar? Yes. The encoded format follows a standard calendar structure that both platforms recognize when the scan triggers the add-to-calendar prompt. ### What happens if the event date changes after I print the code? The printed code keeps showing the old date, since Event is static. Generate a new code with the updated details and replace the old one. ### Can I track how many people added the event from a scan? No. Event QR codes are static, with no scan analytics, since the calendar data is encoded directly with no server lookup involved. Planning materials around this?
