What is Smart Sharing
Smart Sharing is a Snappic feature that links each guest’s contact information to their face or unique QR code, allowing the system to automatically identify and send their photos or videos directly to them. No repeated input needed!
This creates an easy guest experience and significantly reduces queue times at busy events.
🚀 Smart Sharing includes two main linking options:
Face Linking – Ideal for seamless, AI-driven sharing.
QR Code Linking – Best for privacy-conscious events.
Face Linking
Face Linking uses facial recognition to automatically connect photos and videos to a guest’s contact details.
Guests can link their face directly in the app (after capture) or from the event gallery. Once linked, every future upload that detects their face will automatically trigger a share notification.
Key Features
✅ Guests only need to enter their contact info once.
✅ Facial recognition automatically detects and sends matching sessions.
✅ Custom Terms & Conditions and opt-in options can be enabled for consent compliance
✅ Can be linked via both post-capture flow and gallery view.
Example Flow
After a guest takes a photo, they enter their email or phone number.
They’re shown the Smart Share Linking Page with two tabs: Face Linking and QR Linking.
Under Face Linking, the guest can:
Swipe through captures to find themselves.
Tap their highlighted face to select it.
Check the opt-in box (if required).
Tap Link Face to confirm.
Once linked, Snappic will automatically send all future photos/videos featuring their face.
QR Code Linking
QR Code Linking offers a privacy-friendly alternative to facial recognition. Each guest receives a unique QR code, which links to their email or phone number.
When they scan their QR code after a session, Snappic automatically associates the new photos or videos with their contact details.
This is perfect for events like corporate activations or brand-sensitive experiences where guests may prefer not to use facial recognition.
How It Works
Each guest receives a pre-generated QR code made from the snappic dashboard (printed on a card or slip).
The first time they scan their QR code, they’ll be prompted to enter contact details.
Every time they scan it again (whether solo or in a group), Snappic automatically links that session to their account.
All future photos/videos they appear in (when scanning) will be sent to them automatically.
QR Linking Options (Event Settings)
These settings allow you to customize the guest flow for QR sharing:
Setting
| Description
|
Prompt After Capture
| Displays a linking form after each capture for guests to scan and link their QR code.
|
Make QR Linking Mandatory
| Guests must scan at least one QR before saving or sharing.
|
Allow Linking QR Interaction Codes
| Enable or disable linking of QR interaction codes generated via the QR interaction page.
|
QR code Validation Regex
| Restrict accepted QR code formats to match specific criteria.
|
Pro tip: You can also use the QR Designer Tool to generate unique event QR codes or you can create your own on a third-party application.
Other Options
These apply to both Face and QR Linking methods:
AI Sharing Batch Interval
Sets the minimum time between sending automated notifications to guests when new photos/videos are detected. It helps prevent excessive notifications during large events.
App Flow
Here’s what the guest experience looks like once Smart Sharing is enabled:
1. Post-Capture QR Scan Prompt
If enabled, guests will see a form after their capture prompting them to link a QR code.
If it’s their first time, they’ll enter their contact details.
If already linked, they’ll get a confirmation and can either add another code or continue.
2. Sharing via Email/Phone
After entering their details, the Smart Share Linking Page appears:
Tabs for Face Linking or QR Linking (if both enabled).
Option to skip linking if they prefer.
2a. Face Linking
Guest selects their face from detected highlights.
Checks opt-in if required.
Taps Link Face to confirm.
2b. QR Linking
Guest scans their unique QR code.
Taps Link QR Code to confirm.
3. Sharing via QR Code (Gallery View)
If a guest missed linking after capture, they can go to the gallery and tap QR Share to link later.
