Let’s walk through how to use this tool to level up your church communication.
Step 1: Find the QR Code Builder
From your Text In Church dashboard, look to the left-hand sidebar. Under Tools, you’ll find QR Code Builder—click to open it.
By default, every Connect Card you create will auto-generate a QR code. You’ll see a list of these ready-to-go codes, complete with:
The destination URL for each QR code
The number of scans it’s received
Options to download, edit, or delete any QR code by clicking the three dots beside it
Step 2: Create a New QR Code
To make a new QR code from scratch, click the blue “Add New” button in the top right corner.
Here’s how to customize it:
Name your QR code by clicking the pencil icon—this helps you and your team stay organized.
Customize the look:
Add or edit the display text
Change the colors (auto-matches your brand, but can be customized!)
Upload a logo to appear in the center of your QR code (totally optional, but it makes it look pro)
Step 3: Set the Destination
This is where the QR Code gets powerful. Choose what happens when someone scans it:
Go to a URL – Link to your church website, sermon archive, registration form—anything with a web address.
Connect Card – Choose from any Connect Cards you’ve created in Text In Church.
Video Page – Link to a pre-created video landing page (great for welcome messages or event promos).
Contact Card – Instantly share your contact details.
Email Action – When scanned, the code opens an email app with your email address, subject line, and message pre-filled.
Text Message Action – Pre-fill a text message (e.g., “I want to learn about volunteering”) to send directly to your church number.
💡 This is a great way to let guests instantly text about small groups, prayer needs, or next steps—with one simple scan.
