By code type

Scheduled Redirects

One code that sends people to a different link depending on the time, the day, or the date.

All solutions

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.

1

Set the days and hours a rule covers

2

Point it at a link or a hosted page

3

Add as many rules as you need

4

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.

1

A daytime link and a different one after closing

2

A weekday page and a separate weekend one

3

A link that only makes sense during a sale

4

One code that opens a booking page on the days it is available

5

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

Questions people ask

No. It is a setting on a normal dynamic code. Any dynamic type can use it.
