How to use My Contacts
My Contacts automatically collects the details of anyone who taps Exchange Contact on your Digital Business Card QR code landing page.
My Contacts is a built-in lead capture tool. Whenever someone scans your Digital Business Card QR code and taps Exchange Contact, their details are saved here automatically — no forms, no manual entry, no third-party tools needed.
How does My Contacts work?
- Go to your account menu and open My Contacts.
- Share your Digital Business Card QR code — at an event, on a name badge, or on printed materials.
- When someone scans it, they see your profile with a Exchange Contact button.
- They fill in their details and tap Exchange Contact.
- Their contact instantly appears in your list — download it anytime as a CSV or VCF Format.
Step 1: Open My Contacts
Click your avatar or name in the top-right corner of the dashboard to open the account menu. Select My Contacts from the dropdown.
Step 2: Before Anyone Scans
When you first open My Contacts — or before any scans have been recorded — the page shows an empty state: "You're All Caught Up!". Contacts will appear here automatically as soon as someone exchanges their details with you via your Digital Business Card QR code.
Note: My Contacts only collects details from Digital Business Card QR codes. Other QR code types do not trigger contact exchange.
Step 3: What the Scanner Sees
When someone scans your Digital Business Card QR code, they land on your personal profile page. They can see your photo, name, title, and company. Two action buttons are shown at the bottom:
- Save Contact — downloads your details directly to their phone's address book
- Exchange Contact — opens a form where they share their own details with you
Step 4: They Fill In the Exchange Form
When the scanner taps Exchange Contact, a form slides up prompting them to enter their details:
- First name & Last name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Company name
- Designation
- Additional notes
In Lifetime QR Code, the My Contacts feature acts as a bridge between your physical networking and your digital lead pipeline. It eliminates the need for manual data entry or scanning physical business cards by allowing scanners to share their contact information directly with you.

Accessing Your Leads
To view your collected contacts, click your Avatar in the top-right corner of the dashboard and select My Contacts. If you haven't received any leads yet, you'll see a placeholder indicating your card is ready for scanning.
What Scanners Experience
When someone scans your Digital Business Card, they are presented with two primary options:
- Save Contact: Downloads your vCard directly to their phone's contact list.
- Exchange Contact: Opens a simple form for them to share their name, email, phone, and company with you.
Pro Tip: All lead data captured is private to your account. Organization admins can view aggregate lead totals but cannot see individual contact details unless shared.
Exporting Data
You can export your lead list at any time to your favorite CRM or email marketing tool. Lifetime QR Code supports the following export formats:
- CSV: Standard spreadsheet format for Excel or Google Sheets.
- Excel (.xlsx): Native Microsoft Excel format.
- VCF: Standard vCard format for bulk importing into address books.
