It is possible in the LinkedIn app to scan the QR generated code and easily add the person as a new contact on your own LinkedIn profile. I would like to have the same option when using the scanner in the Hubspot App and create a new contact in Hubspot. Now it is only capable to scan business cards. ---

This is an excellent idea as a work-around to a recent issue that I have encounterd. 👏👏👏 3 events to which the team has participated in the last 2 months has produced a rather hapzard method of lead collection. The participants didn’t have business cards but LinkedIn QR codes on their entry badge. 😐 Thus, we have taken a step back in lead collection to take photos of the badges, to be manually processed post-event. ---
