How to Get Song Request QR Code Before Your Event
You can access your song request QR code and links immediately after creating your event - no need to wait until the event starts. This lets you print QR codes and prepare all your signage in advance.
Accessing QR Codes Before the Event
- Create your event in Fotify
- Go to Event in the sidebar
- Click DJ Dashboard
- Your song request links and QR codes are ready to use
Even if your event date is weeks away, you can:
- Copy the song request link
- Print QR codes for tables
- Send the link to your DJ
- Prepare signage with the QR code
Printing QR Codes
From the DJ Dashboard:
- Under "Song Request Form (For Guests)", click Print as QR code
- A print-ready QR code opens in a new tab
- Print directly or save as PDF for later
Recommended placements:
- Table centerpieces or place cards
- Signs near the dance floor
- Menu cards or programs
- Entry points to the venue
When to Prepare
We recommend getting your QR codes ready at least a week before your event. This gives you time to:
- Design and print professional signage
- Include QR codes in printed materials
- Test that everything works
- Brief your DJ or venue staff
