Getting Started

How do I scan a business card in Genify?

Use Genify Smart Scanning to capture business cards, badges, QR codes, and contact details.

Short answer

Tap Scan, point the camera at a business card or supported QR code, review the extracted details, and save the contact with notes, tags, and context.

Steps

1

Open Genify and tap Scan in the bottom navigation.

2

Allow camera access if prompted.

3

Place the business card, badge, or QR code clearly inside the camera frame.

4

Review the extracted name, company, email, phone, and other details.

5

Add tags, connection type, notes, or event context before saving.

Best scanning conditions

Use good lighting, keep the card flat, and avoid glare on glossy cards.

If the scan is incomplete, manually edit the fields before saving the contact.

What Genify does after a scan

Genify turns the card into a contact record and lets you enrich it with context so it becomes useful for follow-up, not just storage.

Depending on your workflow, you can add notes, tasks, tags, event context, and CRM sync decisions.

Common fixes

If the camera does not open, check camera permission in your device settings.

If text is wrong, retake the scan in better light or edit the contact manually.

If QR detection fails, move closer and make sure the QR code is not cropped.

Frequently asked questions

Can Genify scan more than business cards?

Yes. Genify supports business cards, QR-based contact sharing, and event-style capture workflows where available.

Can I edit a scanned contact?

Yes. Review and edit details before saving, and you can edit the contact later from Contact View.
