Scheduled Redirects
One code that sends people to a different link depending on the time, the day, or the date.
A dynamic code does not have to lead to one fixed place forever. You can give it a set of rules instead, so it opens a different link depending on when it gets scanned. The square never changes. What it does when someone scans it can.
How the rules work
You build an ordered list of rules. Each one says when it applies and where it should send people during that window. The first rule that matches the moment of the scan wins.
Every list ends with a fallback rule that has no time attached to it. If nothing else matches, the fallback catches it, so a scan never lands on a dead page.
Set the days and hours a rule covers
Point it at a link or a hosted page
Add as many rules as you need
The list always ends in a fallback
It runs on your clock, not theirs
You set one timezone for the code, based on where the business actually is. A rule for nine to five means nine to five there, not wherever the visitor happens to be standing.
That matters more than it sounds. Someone scanning from the other side of the world while travelling still gets whatever is true for the business right now, not a version confused by their own phone's clock.
What people use it for
The common thread is a business that genuinely does something different depending on the time.
A daytime link and a different one after closing
A weekday page and a separate weekend one
A link that only makes sense during a sale
One code that opens a booking page on the days it is available
A holiday message that only shows on the day
It can point at a link or a full page
Each rule can send people straight to an outside link, or open one of your own hosted pages. You can mix both in the same list, whichever fits that time window better.
Nothing to remember on the day
Once the rules are set, the code runs itself. Nobody has to switch anything over at nine o'clock or remember to change it back on Monday.
You can still edit the rules whenever plans change. The printed code never has to be touched again.
- Set it up once
- It switches on its own
- Edit the rules any time
- The printed square never changes
