QR codes are a visual representation of a URL. If you have received an export file from Haystack containing your company’s user data, you can easily generate and insert QR codes in Excel or Google Sheets or open the QR code URLs in your browser to download the images.

What’s Included in the Export?

When you request a QR code export from Haystack, you’ll receive a file containing:

  • Names – The names of your team members

  • Email Addresses – The email addresses associated with each business card

  • Share URLs – The direct links used to share each digital business card

  • QR Code URLs – Links to high-resolution QR code images for each card

How to Add QR Codes in Excel or Google Sheets

Since the exported file includes QR code URLs, you can directly display them as images in your spreadsheet.

  1. Open your exported file in Google Sheets or Excel.

  2. Click on a cell where you want to insert the QR code.

  3. Type the following formula:

    =IMAGE(E2)

    (Replace E2 with the cell containing the QR code URL.)

  4. Press Enter—the QR code image will appear in the cell.

You can use the QR code URLs from Haystack to add your team's QR codes to paper business cards and marketing materials, allowing others to instantly access their digital business cards.
