This QR code opens the user’s configured email app using a mailto link. It can prefill an address, subject, and a short body, making it useful for customer feedback, enquiries, support requests, event follow-up, and business contact cards.
A mailto QR code does not send the message automatically. It simply opens a draft, and the recipient still needs an email app and must choose to send it. Use an address that is monitored, and keep the body short enough to be convenient on a phone.
How to use this tool
- Enter the destination email address.
- Add an optional subject and short draft message.
- Scan the generated code and confirm the email draft looks right.
Practical guidance
An email QR code is useful when the visitor should send feedback or ask a prepared question. Choose an inbox that is monitored and write a short subject that makes the purpose obvious. A prefilled body should help the user get started, not make assumptions about what they want to say or add information they did not agree to share.
Checks before you use the output
Try the scan on a phone with a configured mail app and another device if possible. Some phones offer a choice of email handlers, and some may not have a mail app configured at all. Confirm that the address, subject, and draft message appear correctly and that no encoded characters have been lost.
Questions and answers
Will this send an email in the background?
No. It opens a draft in the scanner’s available email handler and the user must send it.
Can the body include line breaks?
Yes, line breaks can be encoded in the mailto body, though individual apps may display them differently.
Does the code send the email automatically?
No. It opens a draft in an available mail app. The person scanning it reviews the recipient and content and chooses whether to send.
