QR Codes
QR codes are the entry point for every guest interaction in EmberX. When a guest scans a QR code, a conversation is created and routed to the right service center — no app download required.
How It Works
Each QR code encodes a unique token that identifies a location and routes the conversation to a service center. Guests open a web-based chat interface directly from their phone camera — no app needed.
Guest scans QR → EmberX opens chat → Conversation routed to the right teamCreating a QR Code
- Go to QR Codes in the sidebar.
- Click Add QR Code.
- Fill in:
- Description — A label to identify this QR (e.g., Room 204 – Bedside, Pool Deck Table 3)
- Location — The physical location this QR is placed at
- Service Center — Which team receives conversations from this QR
- Click Save.
The QR code is generated immediately. You can download or print it from the list.
Downloading and Printing QR Codes
From the QR Codes list:
- Download — Click the download icon to save the QR image as a PNG file.
- Print — Click the print icon to open a print-ready sheet with the QR and its description.
For a full property rollout, you can select multiple QR codes and batch-print them together.
QR Code Placement Tips
- Rooms: Place near the TV, on the bedside table, or on the welcome card.
- F&B: One per table. Use a table tent or frame for a premium look.
- Pool/Gym: On safety noticeboards or towel stations.
- Reception: At the check-in desk for guests who prefer chat over phone.
Deactivating a QR Code
If a QR code should no longer work (e.g., a room is under renovation), click ⋯ → Deactivate. The QR image stops working but the record is preserved. Reactivate it later without generating a new code.
Bulk Import
You can create QR codes in bulk using the Import feature. The sample Excel file’s Locations sheet includes a column for QR code descriptions — one row can create a location, its service center assignment, and a QR code in one step. See Import.
