Why scan Linked

In QR at events LinkedIn QR codes are everywhere on the show floor. Scanning them with Popl converts a quick profile exchange into a complete, CRM‑ready lead with zero manual data entry. Popl’s universal scanner reads any QR (including LinkedIn), enriches missing work contact data via Popl AI, and pushes the record to your CRM in real time—so reps can follow up while interest is high. See Popl’s Universal Lead Capture for the multi‑source capture model (badges, cards, QR, forms).

How to scan a Linked

In QR with Popl

Open the Popl mobile app and tap Scan.
Aim the camera at the prospect’s LinkedIn QR (on their badge, phone, or printout).
Popl decodes the QR, creates a lead instantly, and attaches the LinkedIn profile URL to the record.
Add notes/tags or ask your pre‑set qualifier questions.
Done. The enriched lead auto‑syncs to your CRM (details below).

Tips for high‑volume scanning:

Pin the Scan button to your lock screen or home screen using Popl’s widgets for faster access.
Standardize a short qualifier set (job role, buying time frame, next step) so reps capture the same context every time.
Use event Campaigns in Popl to tag every scan for attribution.

Quick tips

Add the Popl Scan widget to your lock screen for one‑tap access. See Widgets and Lock Screen guides.
Map LinkedIn URL → custom field in your CRM and auto‑tag the Event/Campaign so attribution is always clean.

45‑second live demo (visual captions pack)

Use these on-screen captions alongside the demo table below so any rep can run a tight, repeatable walkthrough:

0:00–0:05 — “Popl → Scan”
0:05–0:10 — “Scanning LinkedIn QR…”
0:10–0:20 — “Qualify: role, timeline, next step”
0:20–0:30 — “Popl AI: work email, phone, title, company”
0:30–0:40 — “Auto‑Synced to Salesforce/HubSpot”
0:40–0:45 — “Instant follow‑up sent”

Implementation checklist for Auto Sync

Turn on Auto Sync for your CRM; test: scan → enrich → CRM in <30s.
Map fields: LinkedIn URL, Event/Campaign, qualifiers, notes/tags.
Require notes on Tier‑1 accounts; verify de‑dupe and owner routing.

Enrichment: from profile link to full work contact

Popl AI appends validated, work‑grade data in seconds so your team gets beyond a personal social link:

Work email and direct phone (validated and de‑duplicated)
Accurate job title and department
Company details (size, industry, HQ, revenue or funding where available)
Social handles (including LinkedIn profile already captured)

How it works

Popl’s enrichment engine uses a waterfall across premium data partners and proprietary AI to reach industry‑leading match rates (commonly ~90–95% depending on source).
Offline‑first: scans cache locally and enrich/sync when back online—so spotty venue Wi‑Fi never costs you leads. Learn more in List Enrichment and Waterfall Enrichment.

One‑tap CRM sync, routing, and compliance

Popl supports native, real‑time sync to major CRMs with unlimited custom mappings and de‑dupe logic:

CRMs: Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics, and thousands more via Zapier. See Integrations and CRM Integrations.
Auto‑sync: push to CRM the moment a scan is saved (or use manual review if preferred). Example setup: HubSpot Auto Sync.
Field control: map Popl qualifiers, tags, campaign IDs, event names, and enrichment fields to the exact objects/properties you report on.
Routing: assign owners by territory/event, auto‑tag campaign, trigger sequences, and book meetings from the card (Chili Piper/Calendly links supported).
Security: SOC 2 Type 2 controls, encryption in transit/at rest, role‑based access, SSO. See Popl’s enterprise posture in Event Lead Capture.

Configuration checklist (recommended)

Create an Event Campaign in Popl with goals and attribution tags. See Universal Lead Capture.
Turn on Auto Sync for your CRM and map: LinkedIn URL → custom field; Event → Campaign; Qualifiers → Lead fields; Tags → Lists/Views.
Standardize qualifiers (role, timeline, use case) and a single follow‑up template per segment.
Enable offline mode; test scan → enrich → sync end‑to‑end before the show.
Train reps on the 45‑second script and require notes for Tier‑1 accounts.
