Step-by-Step Guide
1. Issue: QR Code Not Scanning
- Check Brightness: Ensure your screen brightness is at maximum when displaying the QR code.
- Clean Screen: A dirty or smudged screen can interfere with QR code scanning. Clean your screen thoroughly and try again.
- Update Popl App: Make sure you're using the latest version of the Popl app, as updates often fix bugs related to QR code generation.
2. Issue: NFC Tag Not Working
- Enable NFC on Your Device: Verify that NFC is enabled in your phone's settings. NFC must be active to share or scan a Popl tag.
- Position Correctly: Ensure you're tapping the NFC tag to the correct area on the back of the other device. Placement can vary by phone model.
- Check for Physical Damage: Inspect the NFC tag for any visible signs of damage. If damaged, it may need to be replaced.
3. Issue: Lead Capture Form Not Submitting
- Check Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is required to submit forms. Ensure your device is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.
- Review Form Configuration: Log into your Popl account and review the form settings. Ensure all required fields are correctly set up and that there are no errors in the form's configuration.
- Browser Compatibility: If users are having trouble with forms on certain browsers, advise them to try a different browser. Some form features may have compatibility issues with older browser versions.
4. Issue: Popl Profile Not Updating
- Save Changes: After making changes to your Popl profile, ensure you click the "Save" or "Update" button. Changes are not automatic.
- Clear Cache: If changes don't appear, try clearing your browser's cache or the app's cache in your phone's settings, then reload your profile.
- Contact Support: If issues persist, reach out to Popl's support team with specific details about the problem for further assistance.
