Scan Velocity Alerts
Stay informed automatically
Get notified when scan activity spikes or drops unexpectedly. Set custom thresholds and receive email alerts so you never miss important changes in QR code performance.
About Scan Velocity Alerts
Scan-velocity alerts let you treat QR codes the way ops teams treat production systems: with active monitoring rather than retrospective dashboard checks. Configure thresholds based on percentage change (alert if today's scans are double yesterday's), absolute volume (alert when this code crosses 10,000 lifetime scans), or sustained velocity over time (alert if scans-per-hour exceed a value for more than an hour). When a threshold is exceeded, Quality QR sends an email notification with the trigger detail, the current scan count, and a deep link into the dashboard. Cooldown periods prevent alert storms during legitimate viral events, so you can configure a code that goes viral to alert once rather than every minute for an hour. The two highest-value use cases are early-warning detection for QR code abuse (sudden spikes from suspicious geographic patterns) and campaign-performance monitoring (knowing immediately when a launch is exceeding or missing forecast). Scan-velocity alerts are a Business-plan feature with up to 10 active alert rules per account, and they pair naturally with the version history feature so you can correlate alerts to recent configuration changes.
