RoomLnk resource library

Private customer messaging, explained practically

Explore how browser rooms and QR code chat work, where they fit, how to introduce them responsibly, and when another customer-contact channel is the better choice. Every resource is written around a real decision rather than a keyword variation.

Start with the customer task

Choose a question, not just a technology

RoomLnk is designed for focused one-to-one conversations opened from a link or QR code. That can remove an app download and personal phone-number exchange, but it does not make every request suitable for guest chat. Urgency, identity, sensitivity, accessibility, records, and staff ownership still shape the right customer journey.

Use these resources to design the complete workflow around the room: the wording beside a QR code, the person responsible for replies, the approved handoff, the system that records an outcome, and the alternative route for customers who cannot or should not use browser chat.
