QR Code scanner - standard for Q code creation

Smart CRM & Sales Hub Mobile Application

You don’t need a HubSpot‐specific “flavor” of QR code – the HubSpot Mobile App simply recognizes standard vCard‐formatted QR codes and maps the fields into its contact creator. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Use the vCard text format
    Encode your contact exactly like this (RFC 6350/vCard 3.0 style):
BEGIN:VCARD 
VERSION:3.0 
N:Doe;John;;; # Last name;First name 
FN:John Doe # Formatted name 
ORG:Acme Corp. # Company 
TITLE:Sales Manager # Job title 
TEL;TYPE=CELL:+15551234567 
EMAIL:john.doe@example.com 
ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;123 Main St;Anytown;CA;12345;USA 
URL:https://acme.example.com 
END:VCARD

You can include whatever fields you need (e.g. FAX, PHOTO, NOTE) but keep the BEGIN/END wrapper.

  1. Generate the QR code
    Paste that block of text into your favorite QR‑code generator (e.g. qr‑generator.org, ZXing, or any library). The output is a plain QR code that, when scanned, yields the vCard text.

  2. Scan in HubSpot Mobile

    • In the HubSpot iOS or Android app, tap Create → Scan card or QR code → Scan QR code.
    • The app will parse any vCard fields it recognizes (First name, Last name, Email, Phone, Website, etc.), show you a final “review and edit” screen, and then let you Save the new contact (knowledge.hubspot.com, community.hubspot.com).

  3. No “secret” HubSpot spec
    There isn’t a published HubSpot Support article on vCard structure for QR codes – you simply follow the industry standard. Once the vCard data scans correctly in a generic reader, HubSpot will pick it up and map the fields for you.

Tip: Always test your generated code with a generic vCard‑capable scanner (e.g. the built‑in iOS Camera app) before rolling it out, to confirm all fields are encoded correctly. https://snapseedqrcodess.net
