Preparing the QR Code bulk upload file
To get started, download our template:
As you work on the file, be careful not to change any of the column names or remove any columns.
Only one column is required: Long URL.
In the optional columns, you can add:
- Title
- UTM Source
- UTM Medium
- UTM Campaign
- UTM Term
- UTM Content
If you don't use one or more of these fields, clear the sample content that exists in the template, while leaving the column headers unchanged.
When you're done, save it as a .csv or .xlsx file.
