What happens when you scan a Sitemate QR code?

Learn what happens when you scan a QR code poster and how to submit a form.

Written by Sam

When someone scans a Sitemate QR code, one of two things happens depending on whether they have the Sitemate Mobile App installed:

If you have the Sitemate Mobile App installed

The QR code opens the Sitemate app directly and loads the associated form in your Forms section — ready to fill out and submit.
​

If you don't have the Sitemate Mobile App installed

Your smartphone opens a web page in your browser displaying the form link and a button to install the Sitemate app. From here you have two options:

  • Option A: Submit via Sitemate Mobile Web (no app required)

    1. Scan the QR code on the poster — Sitemate Mobile Web opens in your browser.

    2. Fill out the form and submit.

  • Option B: Download the Sitemate Mobile App

    1. Tap the install button to download the free Sitemate app (available on iOS and Android, including tablets).

    2. Once installed, create a profile.

    3. Open the app and enter the form link or scan the QR code via the Home screen or the green + button.

Once submitted, the associated templates will appear in your Forms section for future submissions.


📓 Note: If you already have the Sitemate app and an active profile, scanning the QR code automatically opens the app and loads the associated form.
