Smart rules

A smart rule sends some scans somewhere else. One printed code can open your breakfast menu in the morning, your delivery page late at night, the App Store on iPhones, or a Hindi menu on phones set to Hindi.

How they're checked

  1. Rules are checked top to bottom. The first rule that matches wins.
  2. A rule matches when all of its conditions are true (for example: Saturday and after 9pm).
  3. If no rule matches, the scan goes to the code's main destination.

Conditions you can use

  • Days: any of Mon–Sun. None selected means every day.
  • Time: from and until, in 24-hour time. If "until" is earlier than "from" (21:00 → 06:00), the rule runs overnight.
  • Phone type: iPhone, Android or computer.
  • Phone language: two-letter codes like hi, ta, en.
  • Country: two-letter codes like IN, AE, US, from where the scan happens.

Set them up

By chatting: tell Vow on My codes, for example "Menu code for https://cafe.in/menu. After 9pm send people to https://swiggy.com/cafe." Check the rules it proposes, then tap Create.

By hand: on any code, choose Smart rules, add a rule, pick the conditions, and save.

Good to know

  • Times use your timezone at the moment you save (shown in the editor).
  • Every rule's link is safety-checked, the same as the main destination. You get an email whenever rules change.
  • Rules keep working if you cancel. The vow covers them too; you just can't edit them on the free plan.
  • Up to 10 rules per code.

Other QR apps switch your codes off when you stop paying. We made a vow not to.
