If you want to send people who interact with your touchpoints (OR Codes or Short URLs) directly to a website URL, you can select this option when youโ€™re creating a Conversion Flow.

This is a good approach to take when you are looking for a fast way to send scanners to your website, or other online pages. In this article we will take you through the steps to get this set up, and show you how to add UTM tracking parameters.

Click 'Create' on the top left hand side of your navigation and select "Scan to URL".
