QR Business Card Bot

• A visitor scans your QR code and presses Start
• The bot greets them by name and shows your one-line intro
• They pick a topic: About me, What I do or Materials, and come back for the others
• Contact me opens your Telegram or website, or lets them leave a contact
• They leave a name, a phone number and, if they like, what it is about
• You get the contact in Telegram with a link to write first; they get a thank-you

• Check your card texts in the variables cardIntro, cardAbout and cardServices, and your links in cardMaterialsUrl and cardContactUrl. Links must start with https://. If About me, What I do or Materials is empty, the bot offers to talk in person instead.
• Optional: open the Greeting step and attach your photo or logo.
• Connect your Telegram account to FlowCastle (Settings → Notifications → Connect Telegram, or sign in with Telegram), then open your bot and press Start once. New contacts are sent there.
• Press Deploy.
• Make the QR code: put your bot link https://t.me/<bot username>?start=utm--qr into any QR code generator. Everyone who comes from it gets the tag "utm: qr" in Contacts. For several prints, use a different word for each (utm--badge, utm--flyer).
• Scan the code with your phone camera, open each topic and leave a test contact. Check that it arrives in your Telegram.

Good to know

• All your card texts live in five variables: your intro line, About me, What I do, the materials link and the contact link. Change a variable and deploy; no need to touch the flow.
• Visitors never see "not specified yet". If a topic is empty, the bot offers to talk in person and points to Contact me.
• Links are checked before they are shown. A broken link (a bare @name, a site without https://) hides that button instead of breaking the screen.
• Add your photo to the greeting by uploading it in the editor; a link to a page instead of a picture would stop the greeting from sending.
• To count people who came from the QR code, add ?start=utm--qr to the link. The bot answers as usual, and those contacts get the tag "utm: qr".
• New contacts go to the workspace owner. If the visitor has a Telegram username, the notice comes with a Write in Telegram button.
• The name takes one tap (the bot offers the Telegram name), and the phone is sent with Telegram's own "share my phone number" button.

Common questions

• Should the bot speak as "I" or as "we"?
• Which topics should the card show? Rename, remove or add any.
• Should leaving a contact also ask for an email?
• Do you want event sign-up from the card too? Add the Event / Webinar Registration template next to it.

Keep in mind

• Don't leave "not specified yet" texts: an empty topic should lead to Contact me.
• Don't put a link from a variable into a button without the check; one broken link breaks the whole screen.
• Don't attach a photo by link to the greeting; upload it in the editor instead.
• Don't add a separate flow to tell QR visitors apart; ?start=utm--qr is enough.
• Don't add an "I'm the owner" button or ask for your Telegram id; contacts already come to you.
