What are QR Codes?
QR codes in email signatures, streamline information exchange by providing a quick and hassle-free means for recipients to access specific details. Whether linking to contact information, personal websites, event details, marketing promotions, etc. Recipients can scan the code using a smartphone, instantly connecting with the sender's desired content.
Examples of QR Codes in ExSign
The ExSign QR code utilizes dynamic values specified in the Placeholder, extracting information directly from the Active Directory. Thus, each mailbox user in an organization will possess a QR code with a distinct value. For instance, consider the emails sent by two different users,
john@contoso.com and
david@contoso.com. In both cases, the values of the FirstName and Email fields, employed as Placeholders, are unique. Thus, every user will have individualized values retrieved directly from the Active Directory.
