How can we help you?

A QR code lets anyone scan and open your newsletter instantly — no link required. This makes it a great option for extending your campaign beyond the inbox. This article explains how to generate a QR code that links directly to your email, so recipients can scan and open it on any device.

Use a QR code to share your newsletter at in-person events like town halls, display it on printed materials like posters or brochures, add it to a presentation slide, or post it on a TV screen or digital display in your office.

Step 1: Export Your Email as HTML

1. Open your desired newsletter in the Email Builder
2. Click the down arrow beside Save and Exit and select Export as HTML.
3. Save the file to a location you can easily find

Step 2: Upload the HTML File to the File Manager

1. Exit the Email Builder and click your name at the top right of the dashboard
2. Click File Manager
3. Click Upload and select the HTML file you just exported

Step 3: Get the Preview URL

Once the upload is complete, click the Preview button for the file — the icon shows 
a square with an arrow pointing diagonally to the top right. Your newsletter will open 
in a new browser window or tab.

Copy the URL from your browser's address bar. You'll use this in the next step.

Step 4: Generate the QR Code

Using Chrome's built-in QR code tool:

1. In the Chrome browser window showing your newsletter preview, click the vertical three-dot menu at the top right
2. Hover over Cast, save, and share
3. Select Create QR code
4. Download or copy the generated QR code

Steps for Edge can be found here.

Alternative method: You can use a free tool like QR Code Generator if you're not using Chrome or Edge. Paste the preview URL into the generator to create your code.
